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?

For business? Oh, my...

[ So this is Aventurine unlocked by the power of liquor, eh... she fans herself a little more, raising her brows at his question. ]

I'm alright. A little surprised by the liquor's strength... but it shouldn't affect me too much. [ she's not. physically there, after all. she feels warm for once, instead of chilled. ] Worried about me again?

[gamboler]

Hah. I'm always worried.

[ That's his secret, cap. One hand under the table, clutching his chips for dear life. He wouldn't ordinarily own up to it so quickly, but with Yingying, it's easier.

(The alcohol does wonders, too.) ]

Don't need a little zap of energy, do you? It's the least I can do, after convincing you to take the shot in the first place.

[embellwish]

[ Always worried, huh... she likes the sound of that. ]

Hmm? Are you so sure you won't fall right asleep if I did?

[ His cheeks are flush with the burn of alcohol, and while he's doing fine now, isn't close to stumbling over in a drunken stupor, she'd hate to (inadvertently) steal the night away from him. ]

[gamboler]

I can't make any promises...

[ Though timelines dictate he will manage to find his energy again for later Activities with Nico. He's stayed conscious in far more dire circumstances than this! ]

But I'll be just fine. I know my limits, and they're far further off than this.

[embellwish]

Well, if you do... I'll just have to watch over you until you wake again.

[ Brightly. But, she'll take him up on his offer after all, reaching out her hand to rest at the junction between his neck and shoulder, her touch gentle, light, and affectionate. While she draws her thumb against the line of his jaw, the drain starts, slow and steady. Yingying is always watchful when she does this, looking for signs of fatigue or exhaustion — almost too sharply, like she's protective of him even from her own power. ]

That's not too bad, is it?
