( here he's just. what. )

But sheathing and leaving was adequate?!

[downswing]

Wei Ying.

We are not infants or innocents.

[weifinder]

Ahahaha, I don't know what you thought I was up to before Nightless City the second time, Lan Zhan, but I was very innocent! Very innocent!

[downswing]

( Were... all of Wei Ying's casualties murdered by his dead? No blood on his own hands? )

I treasure it.

Jiang Wanyin and I often dallied. Forgive our wrongdoings.

[weifinder]

( he actually squawks when he reads that, and starts laughing, disbelieving. )

You and my brother? In the springtimes of your youth?!

( this would explain so much of what's cold silence messed up between you two now??? )

[downswing]

We rallied during your absence.

[weifinder]

That's one way to find comfort, I guess?

[downswing]

It troubles you. Apologies.

[weifinder]

No, no, a little, I'm... confused? How you both managed to be like that with each other given how you refuse to talk or not kill each other now.

[downswing]

Your death sundered us.

We might gave continued with you elsewise.

[weifinder]

Lan Zhan, I resent nothing of you or my brother. I celebrate your lives, not yearn for your ends.

[downswing]

Perhaps one day, again.

[weifinder]

... The two of you, or... all three of us?

[downswing]

Together.

[weifinder]

Your appetites are surprising, Lan Zhan, but okay. Perhaps, one day.

[downswing]

Apologies. Presumed.

The Lan keep such matters familial. Pehaps Wei Ying shies.

[weifinder]

So you're saying should your brother arrive, you'd likewise be so inclined?

[downswing]

Brother partners readily.

[weifinder]

So restraint is advised to spare everyone else the intensity of Lans released, I see, I see.

I even like it, I think, at least in small, singular Lan doses for now.

[downswing]

I accept that privilege.

[weifinder]

Good.

Anyway, the baskets, the cart, for the rabbits?

[downswing]

You think it wise tobtransport them?

[weifinder]

Lan Zhan.

They were meat rabbits.

Do you know someone else who'd keep them as pets? The two from Sa-Hareth were well homed, but these are... from lean parts.

[downswing]

Allow me their guardianship.

[weifinder]

You already have it, if I do.
