[downswing]

I offer a fistful of lotus seeds for the privilege.

[weifinder]

Already shelled?

[downswing]

No. You enjoy the game.

[weifinder]

Oh?

( sounding curious, get crushing detritus as he approaches, hair fluttering behind: )

Does that mean you might be persuaded?

[downswing]

( For once, not running, truly only chasing the dregs of Wei Ying's rest. Shock, in the progress of their marital ties. Horror. )


After brother's bathing waters are secured.

[weifinder]

( the slow fizzle of something near simple joy, sparking alive in his eyes. )

A spring, then. Not near the forest. Not the lake with the sometimes dead, let me think...

( places and people discussing other places, one must be closer to what the Lans envisioned for themselves as proper bathing, albeit any energy flows here leaning tired or tainted. clean water, clear, cold. a spring. )

[downswing]

He is a sect leader, requiring care.

[weifinder]

Mm, which is why I'm thinking a natural spring...

[downswing]

Even the sea is tainted.

[weifinder]

Mah, Lan Zhan, he's liking the hot springs, there must be a clean cold spring around, ah? No need for salted waters, tainted or otherwise.

[downswing]

He is not of Yunmeng.

[weifinder]

And?

[downswing]

Decorum must be observed.

[weifinder]

Lan Zhaaaaan.

What have you found so far, ah?

[downswing]

Irrelevant.

[weifinder]

( can you hear him now, rustling through foliage? or perhaps that's one of the village cats. )

Highly relevant, how else are you bathing, so he can bathe?

( so also one Wei Wuxian can sleep more, but he might, just maybe, think that's not happening again anytime soon. unfortunately. )

[downswing]

It would not suit his stature.

[weifinder]

Lan Zhan. That you care, and would share any such ability, does that not matter more?

I mean it's why I didn't tell you to bathe in the blood pool years ago, that was a very unique experience, but also one way to stay clean as long as the talismans stayed in place.

[downswing]

Wei Ying.

He is the first jade of Gusu Lan.

[weifinder]

And more importantly, he's your brother. So! What have you found so far? For the man, not one of his titles.

[downswing]

...you know already.


( Nothing. )

[weifinder]

Mm, then... well, I find a downstream of fresh water, probably from a spring. Let's walk it, see if it has any appropriate pools? It's cool, but not as cold as in Gusu.

[downswing]

You think me fussing.

[weifinder]

I think you worry, and it's early, and I've got drying cloths and a comb and an idea of where to go.

Will you come with?

[downswing]

You were woken unduly.
