Video; UN: moxuanyu

[The user can't be seen just yet but he can be heard. The camera is pointed at a large soaking tub in a modern bathroom and the speaker seems overly excited about it all.]

Look at this! It's quite amazing, isn't it? The water is right there, just with a twist.

[A hand reaches out to turn a nob and water rushes out.]

Both hot and cold! It's genius!

Do you think this is easy to break? It looks quite sturdy.

Oh! This is exciting! What great things this place has! I want to try it out!

[ His face heated up, turning ruddy at the same moment that his knuckles turned white as he gripped his father’s sword too tightly, the point wavering a little as the intensity of his feelings made the end quiver.

He had not calmed down since coming here.

If anything, the unanswered questions had festered in his chest - the youthful nature of all his relatives stifling any attempt to move on rather than just bury all his feelings.

He dragged in a ragged breath, and then forced a sneer to his lips he didn’t quite feel. ]


So what if it doesn’t make me feel better! It isn’t about me!

You killed my parents and then you lied to me from the moment you met me!

[ Moisture started gathering in his eyes despite himself and his face twisted, taking a deliberate step forward with his sword, tip aimed at the final target Wei Wuxian has given him. ]

Why!! Why did you do it!! I don’t understand!!
inheritedpain: (weep)

That’s not good enough!

[ He snapped it, voice breaking a little on the final word. He refused it. ]

Stop lying to me! You weren’t— you hadn’t done anything to anyone for a year and then you just murdered him! On your way— on your way to—

[ He couldn’t get it out, his vision blurring, frustration and heart break making it so much harder. ]

He never did anything to you and you killed him!

My lifetime! [ He hissed viciously, anger bubbling up so hot and furious inside of him that he didn’t even know what to do with it. ]

It was my life time ago! How does that make what you’ve done worth any less!

[ His voice was raising, not giving a damn that they were in a public space. ]

Go on and tell me how the passage of time has made it any better that you robbed me of my parents! That you stole my family from me!! Tell me!

Not for me!

[ Something broke in his chest, a month’s worth of pent up anger cracking against a life time of grief. He blinked back furious tears, the rip of his sword wavering helplessly.

He thought it would make more sense, if he knew.

He thought Wei Wuxian would somehow reveal it was all a misunderstanding, that somehow he wasn’t really responsible. That somehow Jin Ling could focus all that hate on someone else.

But he couldn’t. It was still Wei Wuxian’s fault, after all. And with no good reason.

He sucked in a breath through gritted teeth, unable to keep the tears at bay any longer, rolling down his cheeks, the sight far from the elegent and perfect tears of Hanguang-Jun. ]


It doesn’t get more bearable for me—-

( Of all the people in all the world who never earned a favour from Wangji, here is Wei Wuxian, paid another — he switches to video, because Wei Ying asked, and it's the same familiar gloom and doom set to wash the video world. )


Nothing to thank me.

[personal profile] wangji 2020-02-27 12:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Alright.

Little to see.

[ Other than Wangji's troubled and deeply complicated relationship with holding his device so the camera hits at a semi-respectable angle. ]

Whichever the world, we are friends.

You can't gauge a person's character just by their pretty face. Sometimes, a pretty face is the most dangerous. [ Look at Shen Wei. ]

A problem with breaking baths?

I know, I'm just saying, it's hard to tell at face value. A voice or face or even a handshake can only tell you a little. You could be the type that can break a board just by looking at it, for all I know.

Sounds like he needs a tub made of metal or something.

( Can it be? A smile? Surely not. )

Take care.

Most do, some are deceptive right from the beginning, ah? But maybe I'm just suspicious off the cuff no matter the situation. Maybe it's called... ahh... occupational illness?

Mm, I couldn't tell ya where to find one, but they exist. Not very comfortable, but better than a flood, right?

[ The sword, still held aloft between them, offered no more barrier to approach than a blade of grass. He didn’t drop it - would never willingly do so - but the point lowered as he found arms wrapping around him. He didn’t fight it. He should have fought it, but he didn’t.

Instead he sobbed helplessly, his arm lowering the rest of the way as he pressed his face into the man’s chest, burying himself against him. His shoulders shook as he cried, furious and grief stricken all at once.

He couldn’t do it.

He couldn’t avenge his parents. Even though his entire life had been built around preparing him for it, even though it had been hammered into his head again and again what they would do if they ever found Wei Wuxian, he couldn’t do it.

He was a disgrace, a disappointment to his family. His inability casting a greater dishonour on them than he could even name, and he wept with every ounce of that failure crushing down on him.

He knew what he had to do and he couldn’t do it. What was he even any good for? ]
