[ Wen Qing looks happier than she has in a long time, relaxed and smiling as she lifts a white rabbit into the air, facing the camera. A long red ribbon dangles from the rabbit's mouth, clearly well-chewed, and it looks vaguely annoyed at the interruption to its playtime. ]

I have these little cabinmates who can't seem to keep their little paws and mouths to themselves. My shoes have been chewed up, and I found this one attacking a pillow the other day.

[ She puts the rabbit down, disappearing off the camera for a moment. When she appears again, she has another rabbit in her hands, a black one this time, who settles into her arms, quite content as she pets him. ] This one was chewing on Wei Wuxian's hair ribbon the other day when he was asleep.

So, does anyone have suggestions for good chew toys for rabbits? We don't want them to chew up the entire room, and I only have so many shoes.

Or bad behavior on your part that does not warrant gentleness on mine.

Would you accept a kindness, if I performed it?

[downswing]

Would you perform or intend it?

[silverneedles]

Would that change your response?

[downswing]

You owe me nothing.

[silverneedles]

And if I wanted to intend kindness, out of friendship?

[downswing]

I do not begrudge it.

[silverneedles]

You have my gratitude, Lan Wangji.

[downswing]

For Sizhui?

[silverneedles]

And Wei Wuxian. And the help you have given.

[downswing]

The help of allowing trespass against you. That help.

[silverneedles]

Do you carry that memory with you for torment or reform?

[downswing]

I have learned of mourning: your life was your own.

Your death was ours.

[silverneedles]

It was my choice. Ours. We went with pride to it.

[downswing]

To what end?

He did not say.


( Lan Wangji did not ask. )

[silverneedles]

To a pointless end.

But better that than beaten into submission. The Burial Mounds would not have held long.

[downswing]

Do not do so again.

[silverneedles]

Walk to my death?

[downswing]

At least, do not run.

[silverneedles]

Given our current travels, you also the impossible.

[downswing]

Perform as Jiang. Attempt the impossible.

[silverneedles]

I did not marry into the clan.

[downswing]

Spiritually.

[silverneedles]

There is validity to that.

[downswing]

Find ambition to prevail.

[silverneedles]

I have never lacked ambition.
