week four | match ceremony

[marriagebroker]

Tonight, they're back at the courtyard for the fourth and final time. Nothing has changed too drastically decor wise, there are still lanterns abound and a table full of food and drink. There is also now a third couch near the special couches for Messmer and Odile, if they so choose to sit there. But again, you do you! Wei Wuxian is certainly not going to stop you.

Speaking of that guy, he's here and dressed to impress again. He's looking snazzy. He's waiting for everyone to arrive, watching as they do and grinning broadly all the while. Then when everyone arrives, he clears his throat and begins to speak.

"You all have achieved three of the eight lights you need to win the game. With the match of Messmer and Odile, you only have to light up five lights tonight to succeed. Let's hope you pick right, huh?"

But he has complete faith in everyone! So, let's get this show on the road.

"Team Wangji, you're up."

. . . kind of.

[his smile turns a bit wistful]

It depends on Yingying. If she wants mine, she can have it. But if she doesn't. . .

[. . .]

I do have one more thought, but I'll have to ask him if he's okay with it first.

[poans]

[His mien softens. Yingying is loved by many. And Edamura here, like her, has much love to give.]

May your thoughts be conveyed with the utmost clarity.

[ordimame]

[he would be the first to deny such a claim, but. . . perhaps he is slowly learning that he has much more to give than he thought he did]

Thanks. I think. . . I'm slowly getting better at that.

[poans]

Clear skies evoke an equally perspicuous mind. And the air is exceptionally clear in the presence of good company.

[After saying that, he takes a bite out of the chicken skewer while it's still hot and fresh. He chews slowly and swallows.]

Mm.

[ordimame]

[. . . yeah! what Yi Sang said. . .]

How's it taste? [delicious tbqh, he is a pretty decent cook! as Yi Sang found out pretty quickly]

[poans]

[He's also a caring cook, which enhances the flavor.]

It is a savory treat that whets the appetite.

[To prove his point, he takes another bite.]
