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?

DONE

[he finishes with an exasperated puff of his cigarette, entire body slouching against the railing as he mutters]






. . . anyway. I think I like-like. . . Shindou. A-a little bit. Maybe more than that?

[a pause]

And don't tell anyone I used Luka's words!

[p-points at her. please help him preserve some of his dignity]

[irreversal]

[ Mame-chan.......... to Shoko's credit, she listens attentively, without giving any signal for him to hurry up, because he needs to think out loud like this. So she'll let him do just that. And when he finally confesses his affection for Rom, she turns her head to gaze in his direction, her smile sympathetic, but fond.

Picking from the heart, huh..? ]

Then you should pick Shindou tomorrow. Who knows? Maybe it'll work out better for you two.

[ Than it did for her, she means. ]

[ordimame]

[she understands him far too well. . . his need to ramble for a few quick, disjointed, inelegant moments while his mind slots the pieces together. her answer to his conundrum takes him by surprise, and the grousing fades as his features slacken]

-- you really think so?

[that may have not been the option he was leaning towards]

[irreversal]

[ She nods, giving him a wider smile as she musses his hair. ]

Yeah. It lines up with the math anyway, doesn't it? As long as I'm one of the ones left over in the end, it'll probably work out.

[ probably ]

[ordimame]

[ducking his head as his hair is mussed, a complaining noise buzzing on his lips]

. . . I don't know if it lines up with the math.

[it does, but he has yet to hear it. NOT A MATH GUY!!]

But even if it does. . . [. . . does he actually care]

[. . .]

. . . I'll think about it, all right?

[irreversal]

Yeah, yeah.

[ She lets go of him, shoving her hands back in her pockets as she gives a very fake, put-upon sigh. ]

Just do whatever you want. Guys who are in love never listen to reason, anyway.~

[ordimame]

[. . . SHOVES HER BY THE ARM!! gently]

Don't push it!! I didn't use that word! I said "like-like."

[. . .]

[exasperated GROAN, Luka this is YOUR fault]
