I know you don't, Nie-xiong, that would be very unlike you. And I'm sure she doesn't think you actually decapitate birds. Truthfully I don't think she thinks you're capable of it! She's just trying to bully you. But that's a lot of bullying. Though she hasn't threatened to take away your door yet at least. 🤏☁️ got that one. Well not for real, just the threat, but still.
Yeah, like with the window. But she won't! I will tell her you don't decapitate birds, which she doesn't even really think you do. I don't really know why she's reacting so much though. She believed me about Lan Zhan.
I don't know! Just like his title's meaning and that he's good, and I explained about ☁️⛰️, and how his face is just like that, and he'd had a rough time, being here unexpectedly. And just a lot of helpful things, like how to tell if he's really disapproving or it just seems like it, that it might take more effort with him but that sometimes effort is worth it. Just helpful things, as they came up. Obviously I don't have to explain the same things about you. But this seems excessive! Really, really excessive.
[Those sure are a lot of little details about Hanguang-jun. Naturally, Wei Wuxain would take the time to talk about all of those things; there's so much to talk about. On the other hand, with Nie Huaisang, clearly there isn't much to say. There's a small pang in his chest at that, but he'll ignore it in favor of deliberately categorizing that as an advantage. Better that he not be notable. The more he is easily dismissed or looked over for anything at all serious, the more easily he can ensure that all his work will not lead to failure.
[It would be better not to be the cause of a rift, here. He pushed too far with Klaudia-guniang. He got too comfortable in his banter with Wei Wuxian (it was easy, too easy to settle back into that--) and let himself be more friendly than appropriate. He simply needs to readjust, and remember to be entirely dismissible.]
Perhaps a little excessive. Clearly she cares about Wei-xiong's opinion very much.
Not all that much apparently, or she'd have listened to me about you too. Which she should! I'm right! Shouldn't it be easier, since you aren't so scary at the start? You didn't even set a limit on her phone messages to you! It was one thing when it was Lan Sizhui, 🤏☁️, because he only knew me by reputation. But clearly that's not true of you. I just don't understand it.
Well, tell me the gossip and I'll tell you! This isn't ☁️⛰️, we love gossip here. Lan Zhan would say he doesn't but he secretly does. I am gossiping right now in fact.
I only told her true things that would help. That you aren't going to fight me, or probably anyone. That you were at ☁️⛰️ when I was. A little about your clan, since she's gotten to learn so much about ☁️⛰️ through my scholarly essays. That you like arts over cultivation. That you're not inflexible. That being nice to you could be more fun than bullying. Just helpful things! Different from with ☁️, but I don't want her to have the wrong ideas about people I know, or be against them if she doesn't need to be.
Well, if we are already gossiping, then I suppose (the harm has already been done). To be more specific, it's less about how she talks about you and more about how she acts. Obviously yours and Hanguang Jun's opinions are very important to her, and she defers to both of you when it comes to many things. Having your favor is certainly important to her. Not that I think she has anything to worry about in that quarter, considering how the two of you dote on her. [he's seen her with Hanguang Jun like...once, maybe twice, but that's all he needed, really. And Wei Wuxian is a practical open book in comparison. Perhaps assuming she saw that as well was a grave misstep on his part. Clearly it's a sore spot.
As for what was said about himself...well. Nothing about that is wrong, and they ARE helpful things. Surprisingly relatively nice things, though then again, it would depend on the tone in which thy were told. To be honest, it's more than he expected.]
I see. Those are very helpful things indeed! I appreciate you encouraging her not to bully me.
Dote on! I definitely do not dote, I'm as much a victim as anyone. I wouldn't argue that Lan Zhan does, though. The sand cultivator will say it's because she's adorable but I've said many times that that's not it or it would work for me. Really, it's that she bribed him with glittery robes and that I've helped so much with my explanations.
At this point it's just second nature, but I didn't expect it to be so uphill once she knew you weren't someone I have to hide from. But I think she'll come around with some time. A shaky start isn't insurmountable! She called me a cave donkey my first day here. And Lan Zhan nearly fought her.
