Impossible to gather victims.

[it might be easier to figure out a way to lift the curse if everyone who was affected by it could be gathered together and they could work on the whole bloodline. unfortunately, it's hard enough to do this with an intergenerational curse even without being trapped in a weird city.]

[laughitoff]

Mm! But he’s more concerned with his own love life than in taking it off wholesale anyway, so that’s an easier direction to work with.

[strikingchords]

[nods, after judicious consideration

that's fair.]

Efficient.

[laughitoff]

You know me, famous for my efficiency.

[strikingchords]

[raises his eyebrows very, very slightly at him; Wei Wuxian gets an impression of faint amusement through the bond even if he doesn't quite see it on Lan Wangij's face]

[laughitoff]

[mock-huffy]

Well, you don't have to be like that about it.

[strikingchords]

[mildly]

I do not disagree.

[teasing aside, Wei Wuxian's ways are often more efficient, if unconventional. summoning all the prey in one area to dispose of it at once is frowned on during a competition but certainly efficient.]

[laughitoff]

[surprised, actually; he'd meant it in jest]

Oh.

[strikingchords]

[glance at him; he still lean over shoulder. it's the longest Wei Wuxian has willingly stayed close to him in a while :X]

[laughitoff]

Huh. Really?

[strikingchords]

[puts down his brush for a moment, still considering Wei Wuxian. speaks after another beat, with much the same laconic authority he'd use to cut through an argument about strategy or tactics at a Discussion Conference.]

Meritless ideas don't work. Luring dark creatures is dangerous, but expedient. Appropriate for proficient groups and skilled cultivators alone. Your typical approach.

[laughitoff]

...

[turns around and walks directly into his bedroom

Lan Wangji can almost FEEL his heart pounding out of his chest from the completely unexpected pleased shock, though]

[strikingchords]

[oh,




looks down unseeing at his notes]

[laughitoff]

[HE NEEDS A MINUTE!]

[strikingchords]

[that's fine,,,,,,,,

appreciation should be in words, he thinks, a bit dizzily]

[laughitoff]

[. . .peers around the doorframe at him once the strength of the feeling has faded somewhat]

[strikingchords]

[he's glancing through his notes again while he waits for Wei Wuxian to come back, as far as Wei Wuxian can tell...

it's still Lan Zhan :X]

[laughitoff]

[comes back and sits on the couch near him :X]

[strikingchords]

[doesn't immediately look up; he's afraid to scare him away, tbh]

[laughitoff]

[fidgets]

[strikingchords]

[finally, quietly looks up and over at him again, eyes steady]

[laughitoff]

[quietly]

Thanks.

[strikingchords]

[Wei Wuxian can feel the blade-sharp internal flinch, as if at an unexpected blow, before Lan Wangji hastens to clamp down on how much that reaction can be perceived and it dwindles. his face doesn't really change, which is perhaps the clearest and most unguarded view of that phenomenon Wei Wuxian has had so far.]

...

[laughitoff]

[oh]

...

[strikingchords]

[that hurt? that hurt. for some reason that hurt.]

...

[steadily]

No need.

[oh, he keeps saying that because it

hurts to hear???????]
