We did with Anurr. What estimate do you have of her interests being one to let the new dead rest?

[downswing]

...something in me opposes trust.

[weifinder]

Insight gained with experience and wisdom.

I don't seek to punish any for potential. Yet the dead cannot have the same priorities as the living. We both know that.

[downswing]

Then, we abandon her?

[weifinder]

I don't know if either way is more right. Yet not having her be taken by Matthias is one reason for, on top of her... mostly restrained actions. Her subordinates may be less subdued.

[downswing]

One consumes hearts, readily.

[weifinder]

Does she truly have control over her creatures, or does she only believe it to be so?

[downswing]

I believe her control absolute. Her interest...

[weifinder]

Less than so.

[downswing]

Perhaps I err in questioning.

[weifinder]

One must always question. When we do not is when we fail.

[downswing]

When we accept teachings without question.

[weifinder]

Mm. Blind acceptance is not the same as understanding what is taught, and why, and how that teaching interacts with the world that doesn't follow simple lines.

[downswing]

Who would have thought, Wei Ying, Wei Wuxian, making my excuses.

[weifinder]

"What is good, and what is evil?"

[downswing]

You are good. The world is evil.

[weifinder]

We can stand for good. We can stand against evil.

The world doesn't care either way.

Lan Zhan is good. Hangiang-jun is well named.

[downswing]

No. I wish that name changed.

[weifinder]

To what, in preference?

[downswing]

A name parted from bloodshed.

[weifinder]

Lan Zhan. And whatever title he makes of himself.

[downswing]

( That sweetens him, somehow. His manner. )


Come abed.

[weifinder]

Lan Zhan, is that what you really wanted to ask from the start?

( amused, since it wasn't, but. it's a thought. )

[downswing]

Is it?

[weifinder]

That's why I'm asking you!
