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?

[ Something else, is it? The gagtag still crosses his mind, because they are both absolute killers in the looks department, but he doubts that's what she's getting at. BUT — ]

How stunning we'd look as a couple? Just kidding. [ Even if it's true! ] I could think of a few more things, but the other thing that comes to mind...hm. We're both not exactly forthcoming about how we feel.

[ Though their reasons for doing so may be different, they're still alike in that way. Being open and straightforward has made it harder for them to get to know one another closely, even for all they do seem to get along, and have in common. If for that reason alone...maybe what makes them similar makes them a poor match in the eyes of the competition. ]

[ She taps him once, twice more in the chest, smiling knowingly. ]

I was going to say... really, we're both the sincere type.

[ She knew that as soon as Aventurine had offered her his wish, despite not really knowing her much. They might both play at being flirty and elusive and mysterious, but she thinks beneath that, Aventurine has a kind soul. ]

Even if you can't see it yourself...~

[ She finds him...sincere? It's true, he can see how that fits her, but that's hardly the first word he would use to describe himself. Or the second, third, fourth...on and on. ]

Me? Sincere? Are you sure about that? You know, Avgins have a long history of being mistrusted for their scheming and trickery.

[ It's hard to think of himself in such...honest terms. ]

[embellwish]

[ She hums, not convinced. ]

And yet... you offered your wish to me without hesitation, even though we've only known each other a few short weeks. So I could live freely.

[ She settles a little more into the water, looking down at their reflections instead. ]

Unless you're trying to say that was a scheme or a trick?

[gamboler]

[ ...Hm. Well, she's got him there...well played.

Instead of answering, he waves his hand quickly, motioning back to the stack of cards. ]

Come now, enough about that. Onto your next guest.
