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.

[weifinder]

Lan Zhaaaaan, time to hike! If I'm awake, you get to suffer that travesty, so let's go!

[downswing]

...thank you.

[weifinder]

You're welcome. Always.

( clearing his throat: )

I'm waiting now, ah? Time to go!

[downswing]

I come.

[weifinder]

Shall I sing you to me?

[downswing]

You hardly hold a tune.

[weifinder]

Such slander! Lan Zhan teases so efficiently now, I'm awed!

( that amusement threaded into his voice )

[downswing]

Uncle remembers.

[weifinder]

As he should, that was excellent cover!

[downswing]

...was it.

[weifinder]

He didn't guess who I was, did he?

[downswing]

Dead sixteen years.

[weifinder]

And playing horribly, he would have recognised otherwise!

Truly, my powers of irritation are legendary.

[downswing]

Pledge that they are so irritating, I shall know them in each lifetime.

[weifinder]

I pledge I'll find a way to irritate you into noticing me in each lifetime?

... Are we going with that, ah, are we chasing each other through reincarnations? You have such a romantic heart, Lan Zhan...

[downswing]

This life and each to follow, I shall hunt Wei Wuxian, born Ying.

[weifinder]

( the stupidest part is this makes him smile. there's a certain intoxication that comes with belief; and here, belief that he wants, and is wanted, and it's true. they're both wanted. they're worth it. worth loving. )

Search, ah? I won't be running, at least not to escape.
