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?

Oh, because you'd miss me so much?

[ She jokes without missing a beat, smile bright. For what it's worth, she doesn't look too worn out now — though perhaps that's subject to change, sitting all cozily in the warm water like this. ]

But if I do disappear, you'll just have to come look for me in the wisteria. I'd be among the blooms again eventually. [ Because if she conks out here, she will definitely go up into thin air like smoke, she thinks. They're far away from the tree... and it's hard maintaining her illusion to this extent, especially without constant sources of power to draw from. ] I don't want to miss out either, but it's not worth exhausting you all.

Surely, the others would not see it in such a light . . .

[Yingying is, as far as he can tell, a well liked member of the cast. Anyone would miss her company if she were to disappear for the night. He, too, would regret if she were left alone while everyone else remains together; on the other hand, it's always a treat to see the wisteria in its most honest form.]

But if that is your decision, I shan't overturn it, and head to the wisteria instead.

[ It's the perfect time to say something like because you want to be alone with me? or so you'd leave everyone just to be by my side?, but he rarely, if ever, takes the bait. Instead, she just laughs melodically, leaning a little more out of the pool on her elbows. ]

Then you should make the most of the time I'm here, right? Why are you staying so far away? The water's nice...~

[ If he's close enough, she's gonna go ahead and try to hold his hand so she can tug him closer to the water. If not, well... she'll have to settle for trying to look as alluring as possible. ]

[In truth, she is always alluring.]

Ah, a moment, if you would.

[Because she presents a convincing argument, he allows himself to be tugged closer. But first, he sets the envelopes and cards down at the edge of the pool before sliding into the water beside Yingying, where he sighs softly.]

The water is even warmer than I remember.
