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?

That's the million-credit question, isn't it...

[ He doesn't know. He has ideas, plans, contingencies upon contingencies. But he still doesn't have anything figured out. ]

Wish for unlimited paid time-off, perhaps.

[crimsin]

We should all be so lucky.

[ To get unlimited paid time off, he means. ]

I have... responsibilities to fulfil, for my world and my people, so it is to them I must return. I would not dare ask anyone to come with me, knowing that they will be stepping into a war that is not their own but... I do think about it, sometimes. If you would like to be by my side.

Please do not feel like you must give an answer, one way or another. I want what is best for you, and my world is a harsh place.

[ ...He's thought about it, too, truthfully, but it was easier before Nico spoke it aloud, giving voice to the invitation that Aventurine had hoped might come, but also was too afraid to hope for. Like everything else...the answer he wants to give is easy, but the one he should give is...complicated, and even having considered it before, against his better judgment, he is no close to knowing what to do.

At length, he nods, forcing words onto his tongue so the silence doesn't linger even longer. ]

...I'll take that into consideration. If...that's really something you want, then...let's speak more about it next week. In private.

[ Away from cameras, where he can say what's on his mind, truly and freely. ]

[crimsin]

[ In private.

There is much yet they both have to say, and it will be easier when there are no cameras around. He gets that. ]

Of course, darling. Take your time.

[gamboler]

[ He breathes out a little sigh of relief. ]

...Thank you.

[ ...Before he leans up to brush a kiss to Nico's cheek. ]
