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.

[ Training... Poppy just stares at him. ]

Is that why you're like this?

[ The question is part accusatory, part genuine. Is he brain damaged or something. ]

[beatmatching]

Like what?

[fireball]

Like... you.

[ Gestures at him. ]

Were you not hugged as a child?

[beatmatching]

[ wow.

luka huffs. ]

I hugged other humans when I was a child. [ sorry he's taking this literally and not entirely as an insult, which might say something in itself. ]

[fireball]

I would not have guessed.

[ Just instantly going into mean girl mode... ]

There's a difference between you doing the hugging and actually being hugged, though. You know that, right?

[ One without the other is kind of pathetic? ]

[beatmatching]

Obviously. Hyunwoo and Hyuna hugged me first.

[ TWO!!! friends!!!!!!

he's not the friendless loser, somehow against all odds.

also, who? it's fine. ]

[fireball]

[ No wait she doesn't like thinking of Luka as having friends. Gross. No, wait. Offensive? Yeah, offensive. ]

And yet you're still like this?

[ There that's better. ]

[beatmatching]

[ a beat. ]

They're dead.

[fireball]

[ ... ]

Oh.

[ well that sure took the wind out of her sails real quick ]

[beatmatching]

[ luka smiles. ]

What were you expecting to hear?

1/2

[fireball]

[ ................... ]

2/2

[fireball]

You know what? I genuinely don't know.

[beatmatching]

No one last longs in ALST. Except for me.

[fireball]

[ She'd reach up to pat his head but after consulting the height chart I don't think she'd be able to without him being able to get away immediately, so she'll reach over to try awkwardly pat his shoulder/upper back instead. ]

Sure thing, fella.

[beatmatching]

[ a shoulder pat? luka blinks and then huffs out something that's almost a laugh. ]

Is your curiosity satisfied now?

[fireball]

[ pulls a face at him. ]

I'm not sure I even want to know what goes on in your head.

[beatmatching]

[ wink. ]

Probably not.
