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.

[ Oh.... is that the arrangement they have??? She's just going to take Edamura's word for it, thinking back to all he had said at the ceremony about picking Rom. She blinks a few times, wondering briefly if there's something she might be missing..... ]

Are you? You have business with spirits, hmm?

[ ....what does Edamura do for work anyway?! She realizes she doesn't have the faintest idea. Then again, that's pretty normal for her, stuck in the past as she is. ]

[help. . . . . .]

. . . no! Not in the slightest. I'd rather keep my distance.

[but then extenuating circumstances happen, and. . .]

But I do want to help Rom out, you know? He works. . . mostly alone.

[and that still rubs him the wrong way]

[embellwish]

Mm, he seems to deal with all manners of the strange and terrifying...

[ Terrifying and strange things like her! Based on Rom's words, not hers. ]

I think he would do well to have someone like you at his side... someone who can be direct and sincere with him.

[ From what she's gathered, Rom is.... elusive, mysterious, difficult to get a gauge on. On the other hand, Edamura, in her eyes, has always treated her with honesty and earnest kindness, and doesn't have the same tendency to dance around a subject. ]

Is that why you picked him, hmm? Business?

"Unpleasant spirits". . .

[is how Rom had described them to Edamura, back during the very first week. the thought still makes his features wrinkle with distaste; after all, Edamura is a completely normal and average guy with no impressive abilities whatsoever. he should be keeping his distance from the supernatural!! he is deeply unsuited for the work! but. . .]

[even so, he smooths out his expression pretty quickly with a shake of his head. there is no point in worrying about that too much. . . considering he has now decided to involve himself in the "unpleasant spirit" world, regardless of his own abilities]

And no; I didn't pick him because of "business." I picked him because-- [a pause] . . . well, I gave all of my reasons last week, didn't I?
