backdated: wedding day iii

[downswing]

Before her second disappearance, Prassenze ravaged her compartment for a hidden box.

( 'How do you know this, Wangji?' 'Any details?' No. )

Separately, forge or jewellery master begged sought. A trinket for powders.

New arrivals, be welcome.

( ooc: CONTENT WARNING that he is looking to make tokens to hold hell demonic lizard creature ashes, if that creeps anyone out OOCly ;; )

You asked if there were women for birthing. I answered.

[weifinder]

Yes, yes, but it would need to have been earlier still I think. Hmm, hmm.

[downswing]

Wei Wuxian.

[weifinder]

Lan Zhan!

( not really sorry, bae, it's a funny memory to him now. )

I don't yearn for children of the body. Children of the heart are a different matter. What about for you?

[downswing]

I did not accuse. Explained misunderstanding.

[weifinder]

( whoops, his shifting thoughts have not moved along well with the rest: )

Understood, understood! I was changing topics, because I know what siblings A-Yuan wished, and realised I'm still not certain what number you wish!

Though I'm glad when we were younger you mistook me for far more enterprising than I was, you were the only one who thought so without making it and accusation against my character. It was sweet!

( that singular time in yiling. )

A-Yuan was too young to understand why things were as they were. He asked if he'd get to see you again. He's been fond of you from that first time you met.

( it's an affection Lan Zhan has always been granted, whether he knows it or not. )

[downswing]

( Hold, hold. )

A number. Of siblings.

[weifinder]

A number of siblings! A few older brothers and older sisters. Though by now it's probably all younger brothers and sisters?

[downswing]

Eight is fortuitous beneath the Heavens.

[weifinder]

Ahahaha, so what, you wish seven more children happily adopted? A large family!

[downswing]

You deny me?

[weifinder]

I said no such thing! Why would you say that, ah? Who's denying? Children are great! You're going to spoil them rotten!

( okay but it's this him needing to budget for Now or when they're home and he steals his husband away from Gusu because these are VERY DIFFERENT PROSPECTS )

[downswing]

If they are my own alone, speak them so now.

[weifinder]

Are you stealing our future children from me?

[downswing]

Then, do not speak as if uninvolved.

[weifinder]

I was surprised, not uninvolved! How close in age were you imagining these next seven?

[downswing]

As fate presents them.

[weifinder]

We may want to gain skills in making our own children's toys for their amusements.

[downswing]

Children may procure as wished from markets.

[weifinder]

Lan Zhan, here, or back home?

[downswing]

A difference? Make do.

[weifinder]

Here's where I'm hissing some temperance at you for practise, of course we'll make things work! Just not frivolously, we need to manage things ah? Children won't be lacking in the things most necessary.

( and this is why, forever, it's hilarious people think Wei Wuxian is the pushover funtimes parent, when he's...

... just the creative out of the box thinker who definitely does not lean toward excess and definitely does love teaching moments. )

[downswing]

You think me frivolous.

[weifinder]

In indulgence with A-Yuan, yes, but I know why. Or I know why it was to me, and was as grateful to your indulgence when we met Mianmian's little girl years later.

[downswing]

He was not indulged. Treated as befits him.
