week three | mingle

[marriagebroker]

No outright changes this week either. Week three rolls around, braced for impact as ever. The estate is still intact, the contestants are still motivated, things are looking good.

Well, aside from the fact you all had a blackout this weekend. That wasn't so good.

Either way, when Monday rolls around, Wei Wuxian seems to be in a cheery mood as he greets everyone Monday morning.

"Everyone, come here, come here. I have an announcement!"

Better go see what that's about, huh?

She speaketh true. If the men be willing, 'twould well serve us to at last have an answer.

[ Messmer is choosing to participate this time - they're getting close to the end, after all. ]

[scooptimistic]

[ Buddy!!

Maya beams at him. ]

Exactly! I'm optimistic and all but even I'd like to have some solid facts at this point.

[anathemaw]

[ he inclines his chin slightly in an uptight nod; meanwhile, the serpent at his shoulder seems to be peering at her rather closely. ]

... I see thy cheer doth yet remain, though thou'rt fit to be matched to a man whose heart hath been given to another.

[scooptimistic]

[ She holds a hand out to the serpent because CAN SHE PET IT YET!!! ]

Are you worried about me?

[anathemaw]

[ he doesn't seem to notice she's doing anything - or if he does, he doesn't acknowledge it. it's up to maya if she dares to touch the snake... ]

Impressed. Thou art a keen master of thine emotions.

[scooptimistic]

[ She dares. She's gonna. ]

I do feel a little like a homewrecker, if we turn out to be a match... but these matches aren't also the be-all, end-all of our bonds anyway. Unless we want them to be.

[anathemaw]

Would that--

[ he cuts himself off with a flinch and a small noise of surprise when she pets the snake. Someone wasn't paying attention... ]

... Wilt thou not speak before touching a man?

[scooptimistic]

Oops! Sorry, I thought you were aware!

[ Her bad. ]

[anathemaw]

[ embarrassing. He shuts his eye with a sigh. ]

Do as thou wilt.

[ pet the snake if you must, Maya... you have permission now. ]

... Would that the others shared thy maturity.

[scooptimistic]

[ SHE'S PETTING IT. ]

Huh? About the touching, or about the matches?

[anathemaw]

... The matches.

[ please don't make him more embarrassed. The snake doesn't seem to mind being pet, at least, although - being a snake - its expression says little. But it's not moving away from the contact? ]

[scooptimistic]

[ Hell, yes. She is petting the snake. THIS IS THE BEST. ]

Well, emotions can be complicated. I don't blame people for having some difficulty with separating the rational from the emotional.

[beatmatching]

[ butts in because he's luka. ]

She has mine.

[anathemaw]

[ hi luka ]

Yet thou hast not hers.

[ cold?? maybe. but he's just calling it like he sees it - although his snake does eyeball Maya as he speaks. ]

[beatmatching]

Not yet.

[ he's not bothered at all!

there's even a smile with his words, not at all cold. ]

[anathemaw]

[ well, he's taking it like a champ. ]

Thy confidence doth surely match her own.

[ Messmer can say that, if nothing else. ]

[scooptimistic]

[ Let's pretend she has wandered off at this point to not be aware about this-- ]
