I was able, with some help, to procure some spices. Wanyin, Wei Wuxian, and Xie Lian, please find me at your earliest convenience. Ruka, I have some cakes for you. Ah, and ... Wen Kexing, once you understand these devices, will you please get in contact with me too? We did not exchange details the morning after we split up. [ The morning after they shared a room, you deviants. ] Alternatively, if anyone knows this man, help me find him. He is tall and well-dressed with fine features.

Wangji. A check-in, please.

( What a fine thing that his brother can't see this: )

Suffer.
weifinder: (mask | and i realise)

( he outright laughs at this, letting that taper off naturally before he whines again: )

Lan Zhaaaaan, I can suffer well enough, does your brother need to? It's like how you were with me and the millet, let him stuff you full now! You can trust his cooking.
downswing: (十)

( What he's taking away from this: ) Consume millet.

( But also: ) I shall offer company. He is fragile.
weifinder: (smile | are dishonest men)

[personal profile] weifinder 2023-08-13 07:31 pm (UTC)(link)
You should, yes, eat all the millet you like. Or whatever else he's made!

( no millet for him thanks he's not hungry here and that's been obvious because he's never heard a growling from his stomach, but the warmth of eating with family is not something to miss. lan zhan needs it. more subdued: )

Hearts take time to heal. Company is a balm.

( at his usual volume and slightly more relaxed sense of cheeriness, more or less genuine in the moment: )

You're on your way up now? I'll come flush you out if you're not, he called out after I finished my last talisman in this set, there's nothing to distract me!

Is this how one coaxes family by marriage?
weifinder: (soup | ten billion decibels shattering)

[personal profile] weifinder 2023-08-13 07:59 pm (UTC)(link)
No idea, no one's tried asking me before. Maybe?

( a pause, and: )

All in all, Lan Zhan, if my brother ever asked me to be there, I would. If your brother believes my whining will get you to him faster, so be it. Whining's easy.
downswing: (welcome one & all)

Shall remember when Wei Ying insists his hurts are true.
weifinder: (ah?! | don't listen to all)

[personal profile] weifinder 2023-08-13 08:15 pm (UTC)(link)
My hurts are very true! I stubbed my toe yesterday, that was painful! The most painful!
downswing: (...i see)

[personal profile] downswing 2023-08-13 08:32 pm (UTC)(link)
( This stare better translate through sheer silence. )
weifinder: (ask | is deafening)

[personal profile] weifinder 2023-08-13 08:34 pm (UTC)(link)
( a stare becoming completely overwritten by wei wuxian trying to not smile while pitching his voice at a whine: )

So very, very painful!

( because the things that hurt, the vulnerable ones, still take more for him to broach. that he does at all is a measure of trust built over the years; that he doesn't right now is and isn't anyone's particular fault. )
