week three | match ceremony

We're back, baby!

The courtyard is lit up with lanterns all over and there is now a second special couch near the Furina and Ringo couch from last week. This is the Verso-Nico couch, if they want to sit in it. But they don't have to! Live your truth, boys! Go sit with your situationships instead!

Wei Wuxian is here, still looking happy after his absence this week, and he is dressed to impress in NOT a hanfu this time, but a modern look. He's liking it, honestly. Look at him sparkle!

"Congratulations, my friends! You are once again free from a blackout and losing a wish as you found a perfect match at yesterday's truth booth. Good job!" Wei Wuxian explains, twirling his flute in his fingers as per usual. "You might still get no lights again otherwise but, uh, let's hope not! I believe in you!"

... Does he?

Either way, he bounces on his feet and calls out, "Team Suibian, it's time to make your picks!" Looks like we're ready to go.

[ he shakes his head mildly, gazing down at Rom with tempered curiosity. ]

So long as thy rules remaineth secret in thy skull alone, so shall I break them.

[ a beat. ]

Naught matters but the final choice - all else is mere preparation. Thou wouldst be well-served to remember it.

[ He just looks at Messmer quietly for a moment at that. Not in a cruel way, just ... assessing him. When he speaks, too, his delivery is even despite the potentially accusatory wording: ]

I wonder if you truly believe that as much as you claim you do, Lord Messmer. Not that I doubt how much you value victory and our wishes in the end, but calling everything else 'mere preparation' ... I'm inclined to think your mindset isn't as black-and-white as you claim it is.

[ Pause, before he smiles. ]

Not that that's a bad thing. I just didn't expect it.

... 'Tis this circus I refer to. These weekly ceremonies, performed to play upon the emotions of the suitors.

[ he'd meant his words as a comfort, as they are to him - he takes solace in the fake nature of it all, knowing that none of it need reflect anyone's true thoughts. ]

My dealings beyond them wert made in sincerity.
