[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!

[downswing]

It was not the intent.

[weifinder]

What, you didn't want me safe in your bed?

[downswing]

Safe, without qualification.

[weifinder]

Yes, yes, but isn't it nicer? Better?

[downswing]

Like consonance.
