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.

I have mentioned before – the Lord Emperor. He sits atop the throne of all vampirekind.

[ It’s probably pretty easy to figure out where this is going by this point, but Nico wants it said out loud, for Kakavasha, but also for his people, who will see this one day, too. He wants them to know he’s here, and he’s coming back. ]

His name is Toussaint d’Adelphe. He is my father, and I his rightful heir.

[gamboler]

[ Oh.

Oh.

In the back of his mind, Kakavasha can't help but find something amusing about all this, how fantastical it sounds. Hadn't he just talked with Yingying the other day about how he'd enjoyed fairy tales as a child? And yet here he is, finding out the man he's in love with has secretly been a prince this whole time.

He really does just need the curse on him broken. ]

Oh, is that all? [ A knowing little smile, features still bright with adoration. ] So, when we [ yes, it feels right to say "we" now ] return to topple his regime, will that put you on his throne instead?

[ Goodness, what a thought. Nico would make a fitting leader though, he thinks, and needless to say, whatever is in store for them will be far from dull. ]

[crimsin]

[ "Is that all?" He says. "We," he says. Nico's heart feels fit to burst with affection and no small amount of relief. Logically, he knew this revelation would change little for them, but some part of him still worried. What if?

He laughs, a fizzy pop of joy and relief in equal measure. ]

That is the goal. It somehow does not feel so daunting with you by my side.

[gamboler]

[ Oh, he adores that sweet laugh of his, it's almost sickening. ]

Luck aside, I like to think I've proven myself as an effective strategist. I may just prove an asset to you, yet.

[ As though he needs to prove himself of use to Nico in any such way, but it might be nice to put his skillset to use in a way that might enact change for the better, for once. Even so — it mattered little what Nico intended to do when they return home. They could rule the country or simply lay in the sun, and Kakavasha would be satisfied, so long as he's at Nico's side.

Still...

His nose wrinkles, another laugh escaping him as he butts the bridge of his nose against the vampire's cheek. ]

I can't believe you've been a prince in disguise all along...how terribly romantic.

[crimsin]

[ Kakavasha needs to do no such thing as proving himself useful, but if he’s willing to help simply because he wants to, Nico won’t refuse him. His lover and his strategist… it does have a certain appeal.

They will not, however, be laying in the sun. Nico would die and nobody wants that. ]

Would that I could have swept you off your feet in a more princely manner, mon amour. I hope my attempts were at least satisfactory.

[ He says, knowing full well how hard they’ve fallen for each other so quickly. ]

[gamboler]

[ LISTEN, IT'S A METAPHORICAL SUNSHINE..... ]

Satisfactory? Hm...I suppose...

[ He trails off, playing coy, but despite his best intentions, he can't keep a sweet smile from his lips, one so intimate that belongs only to the man who holds him in his arms now. ]

I consider myself well and truly swept. Mon amour.

[ It feels nice on his tongue, too. ]
