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.

Yeah. Let's.

. . . mind if I smoke while we do?

[it's a question, but he already has his cigarette. he ain't about to put it out]

[poans]

I do not mind.

[To the gardens, they go. After a few moments to let the silence settle, he pipes up:]

Does aught weigh on your mind?

[ordimame]

[Edamura has found the gardens to be a nice, soothing place to calm his mind when his thoughts begin to race out of control. now is no different, with his gaze drawn towards the blooming flowers. it almost seems like a shame to pollute the air around them with nicotine]

I-- . . . yeah. A lot does right now.

[. . . tilting his head towards Yi Sang]

Do you not feel the same way?

[poans]

[Smoking is bad . . .

This time, Yi Sang angles his head to meet Edamura's gaze.]

Indeed, I have thoughts of my own; however, if it would ease the burden on your heart, I would like to listen to yours.

[ordimame]

[SMOKING IS BAD. . .]

[for a moment, Edamura is quiet, simply content to stare at Yi Sang as his cigarette smolders between his lips. then. . . he sighs and tugs his own envelope out of his pocket, subsequently handing it to his companion]

[One of you killed your father. Or did you?]

[poans]

[He takes the envelope with care, then pulls out and peruses the card inside. A moment of thoughtful silence passes before he looks at Edamura, his expression devoid of judgment.]

. . . Could it be that you yourself are not aware of the answer?

[ordimame]

[THAT. . . IS AN INTERESTING SPIN ON IT. . . but Edamura shakes his head]

No. I know what incident the card is referring to.

The asshole is still very much alive.

[poans]

[So it's an ongoing feud.]

What could have transpired for you to bear such animosity toward him?

[ordimame]

[B. . . BOY]

That's a long story, Yi Sang.

[hah. . .]

I'm still pretty pissed at him, but I don't actually want him dead. For what that's worth.
