[he doesn't immediately get his courage back, but he does eye Wei Wuxian a little, inscrutable]

[laughitoff]

I was blindfolded, and someone took advantage. To this day I still don’t know whether to call that maiden bold or shy!

[strikingchords]

[wait]









Blindfolded?

[laughitoff]

Mmmhm. I got pinned, so it's not like I could remove it and see who it was.

It was a very good kiss, though! Very forceful. I was weak in the knees after she ran away.

[strikingchords]

You were alone. Outside.

[laughitoff]

Haha, how did you guess?

[strikingchords]

...

[laughitoff]

Though I suppose you couldn't technically call that alone, could you.

[strikingchords]

[...

...

...

these will continue internally, but out loud:]

I would dislike it.

[laughitoff]

What, someone surprising you with a kiss? I suppose that makes sense.

[strikingchords]

Not knowing.

[keeps walking for a little...]

[laughitoff]

It would be nice to find out! But if a maiden wants her privacy and doesn't want anyone to know she did such a thing with the Yiling Patriarch, I can hardly blame her.

[seems to mean it, his tone easy]

[strikingchords]

I would rather kiss a friend.

[laughitoff]

[stops dead]

[strikingchords]

[...

by necessity brought up short by this...]

[laughitoff]

[K-KEEPS WALKING AFTER THAT FROZEN SECOND]

Ah, that is preferable, yes!

[strikingchords]

...

[squeezes his hand and stays quiet,,,]

[laughitoff]

[they slam to another involuntary stop a few moments later...]

[strikingchords]

[ah.



his gaze tracks slowly up to another sprig of mistletoe above their heads]

[laughitoff]

[growls at it]

[strikingchords]

Hm.

[once again he must search his heart about whether his id is somehow making this happen unintentionally]

[laughitoff]

[wei wuxian could also be making it happen through the force of sheer dramatic irony, you must admit]

Ack, come here again, then.

[strikingchords]

All right.

[tugs him in, okay, okay]

[laughitoff]

[he's getting another one of those too-light, sparing kisses, barely worth the name at all...

when they try to move again after they are absolutely still stuck though]

...

[strikingchords]

...

Wei Ying.

[THAT'S LIKE THE FIFTH COMMENT THAT'S JUST BEEN LAN WANGJI SAYING HIS NAME IN THIS THREAD BUT IT'S BEEN DIFFERENT EVERY TIME. this "Wei Ying" is definitely a little too thoughtful for Wei Wuxian's comfort, probably, low and considering]
