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.

[ after he takes a forkful. ]

Are you trying to exclude someone?

[fireball]

Not at all!

[ Beaming. Chipper. ]

I'm trying to include more people, if you think about it.

[ a happy hum as he eats the cake ♫

he really loves sweets but it's taken until the final week for him to actually indulge in them. ]

By putting pressure on them? You'll need to go harder than cake, I think.

[fireball]

[ It's so weird to see him look genuinely happy? She's not sure if she likes it. But also it's probably better than him being bitchy, so fair enough. ]

This is just the first step. After that I think we gotta use brute force.

[ luka pauses, inches before eating the second forkful of cake. it's silly looking but there's a sharp look in his eyes that she's seen once before. ]

What did you have in mind?

[fireball]

[ if

she wasn't so convinced Yingying was her assigned match, she'd be really concerned right now. It could have been her and Luka. It really could have been...

But! It's not so it's fine, and Poppy relaxes. ]

Not sure. I don't think I could physically drag either of them to the door, but... maybe you could...

[beatmatching]

Who are we talking about, exactly?

[ this matters both for physical strength reasons and psychological warfare reasons. ]

[fireball]

Rom and Edamura.

[ A beat, blissfully unaware. ]

Though Yi Sang might need some help too.

[beatmatching]

[ those three..

well rom is fine. edamura is also fine...now. ]

You don't want my help with them.

[fireball]

[ remembering who she's talking to again ]

I'm not sure I want your help with anything, actually.

[ Not even trying to be insulting; just stating the truth. ]

[beatmatching]

Probably~.

[ it's definitely way beyond poppy's cute play at forcing bedroom times to happen. ]

[fireball]

[ ... ]

Definitely.

[ Thank you for being yourself, Luka. ]
