week four | mingle

[marriagebroker]

Final week at the estate! Final week with your friends. Final week with your beaus. Time to make the most of it, everyone!

In fact, to celebrate this fact, today there is a cake. It's nothing special, just a nice little cake to enjoy with your morning coffee or throughout the day. Yay, cake!

And when Wei Wuxian arrives that morning, he is going to call out once again for everyone to join him, near the cake.

"Everyone, I have another announcement!"

Hell yeah, announcements.

Complicated and nuanced, huh? I can respect how that ends up happening regardless.

[researcherstory]

Indeed. I know it still amounts little to what others have been forced to reveal, but surely it's more interesting to have a private person show their hand at long last.

[ And with so much... that only a few people ever found out. It just didn't seem important when getting to know others and to be known, really, except as a point of relating similar experiences. ]

[nrangel]

[ A small laugh, even if it sounds a little strained. ]

You didn't have to do all of that for us, but it's nice of you to offer pretty much all of it up.

[researcherstory]

[ She did, though. Because they... ]

We won't be here much longer, that's all.

[nrangel]

Ruthlessly pragmatic. I respect it at least.

[researcherstory]

That's also why I see little worth in holding anything against anyone at this point. Once we part, it is our choice as to if we'd like to keep in touch or not.

[ A small shrug. ]

I realize it's a rather boring way of looking at things, however. "It hasn't mattered the past three weeks so none of that matters now, we're all friends anyway! Let's get our wishes!" isn't exactly my style.

[ She's not!!!!!!! A protag hero speecher. But she will have words to say tomorrow if there's still any lingering unease. ]

[nrangel]

[ Okay now that gets a real laugh out of her. She... kind of needed that. Thanks, Odile. ]

Doesn't seem like it would be, huh? It's fine, I think your style works better right now than a pep talk like that would anyway.

[researcherstory]

[ Awww. Anytime, Serpilia. ]

Well, if you or anyone else is in need of a ruthlessly pragmatic word, I will be here for the next few days with plenty of them to spare.

[ And also contactable by letter. ]

[nrangel]

Haha...

[ A bit sigh follows that forced laugh. ]

I might actually end up taking you up on that depending how the rest of this night goes.

[researcherstory]

You know where to find me, then. And if not in bed... I like to sit out here, [ a gesture to the living space, ] and read if I find myself unable to sleep.

[ So... she can drop by anytime she'd like, and Odile won't turn her away. ]
