week two | match ceremony

[marriagebroker]

Tonight, we're back in the courtyard. It looks similar to last week with the slight exception, there is now a plush couch near the stage, and a single lantern already lit above the stage. There's still food, drinks, all sorts of things available for the contestants to snack on and enjoy.

On the stage is Wei Wuxian, looking presentable in his hanfu for today. He's busy twirling his flute in hand as he waits for the contestants to show up and find their places, and when they do he'll extend both arms out, welcoming the cast.

"Second match ceremony! You're exempt from a black out tonight because you've already found one of the matches."

He'll gesture to that couch from earlier, which seems to be The Special Seat for Ringo and Furina to sit at if they'd like.

"Now, we know how this goes so let's not delay anymore! Team Wangji, it's your turn to announce your matches!"

[NOOO CUTE

That makes him crack a smile a little more sincere than the rest.]

Merle?

[crimsin]

Oui! It suits you, does it not?

[ He reaches up to toy with the streak of white in Verso's otherwise dark hair. ]

[reverso]

[Okay, a sincere laugh now.]

I think it's flattering. [A huff as Nico plays with his hair.] Better than the more obvious comparison you could make, animal-wise.

[crimsin]

No, you are a bird, mon ami.

[ His hand lowers, his smile gentles. ]

You just need to remember how to fly.

[ Be brave, Verso. ]

[reverso]

[Oh, Nico. He really is that unflagging spark of light, still.]

...

Thank you, Nico. I promise I'll try.
