[laughitoff]

I can't think of much to add but a kitchen, and I like going to the diner well enough for that.

[strikingchords]

Nothing else?

[they can move on to the next flower]

[laughitoff]

Nope! Did you have anything in mind?

[strikingchords]

[shakes his head]

Unless, a space for animals.

[laughitoff]

Ah, to let your little bun hop around, and young master Elliot's kitten play? A good idea.

[strikingchords]

...

I told him he must keep it away.

But, if they remain separated.

[laughitoff]

That shouldn’t be too hard.

[strikingchords]

[makes a huffy little neutral noise X(]

[laughitoff]

You don't like the idea? What if we made separate rooms for the different animals?

[strikingchords]

...

Self-indulgence. I have not pursued it.

[laughitoff]

If the rabbit would appreciate it, is it self-indulgence?

[strikingchords]

...

There is truly nothing else you would like?

[a blatant topic change, but also, he's watching Wei Wuxian's face steadily and seriously about it]

[laughitoff]

No?

[puzzled; it doesn't look like he's blowing him off so much as, he literally can't think of anything he wants to physically improve his life in the dorm]

[strikingchords]

Mm.

[a little sad about that, though it doesn't super show on his face. not out of disappointment in Wei Wuxian, just.

he's not under any false illusions about why Wei Wuxian can't really think about nice things for himself easily right now.]

[laughitoff]

The rooms are nice enough. I certainly don't mind if someone else wants to add other things, tohugh.

[strikingchords]

[nods]

Have you found further ward variations?

[laughitoff]

Nothing final, but I have a few ideas...

[he'll chatter about those as they finish up; mostly trying to streamline so the wards don't have to be changed every time Phoenix gets a new member]

[strikingchords]

[he'll listen quietly and occasionally go "mm" at Wei Wuxian making a point. he'll frown faintly as they pat the last bit of grave dirt back into place...]

A token. Exchangeable.

The Lan Sect's wards accomplish your aims.

[laughitoff]

Kind of awkward in a living situation like this, but you have a point.

[strikingchords]

Will show you the array. Perhaps it can be adapted.

[he'll straighten up from the icy dirt and snow and tug Wei Wuxian to his feet...]

[laughitoff]

[straightens with a sigh]

Work, work, work...

[strikingchords]

Mm.

[exhales, in sympathy]

What occupied you last night? After our return.

[laughitoff]

Examining one of Bugbear’s ascendant monsters.

[strikingchords]

[he blinks; his attention sharpens. Wei Wuxian can definitely catch a slightly birdlike tilt to his head and the way his pupils dilate in interest. it's subtler than fox noises, but Lan Wangji is not immune to this monster stuff.]

...

[laughitoff]

[he’ll share easily but the thread with Vincent isn’t actually done yet, so handwave handwave for now]
