[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!

[downswing]

You are well?

[noenvy]

I am quite well! Better than being dead, and better than before dying.

Are you concerned for me?

[downswing]

Do not play.

[noenvy]

So mean!

How can I not play? You ask too much of me.

But! Since you ask, I'll do my best to behave, alright? I'm going to try, and do my best, so don't get mad if I lapse, because I can only do so much, alright?

[downswing]

Do not exert yourself.

[noenvy]

Then I guess I will just have to play!

[downswing]

Be welcome.

[noenvy]

Thank you for allowing me to play Hanguang-Jun~

Do you have any more questions, are did you get bored?

[downswing]

I know you now, 'Mo Xuanyu', 'Yiling patriarch'.

No questions.

[noenvy]

You don't have to call me that....

[Time and place was important, and it felt bad in this context.]

[downswing]

Your new face is strange.

[noenvy]

...

I know....


[He pauses for a while before trying to smile and liven himself up. He can’t let himself feel down for too long, it wouldn’t do at all.]

But, it’s a prettier face? So I can’t complain? It’s a small price to pay for a second life?

[downswing]

Wei Ying is Wei Ying.

[noenvy]

Thank you Lan Zhan.

[He can’t help but smile a little, and it was genuine.]

( 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.

[noenvy]

You finally let me see you!

[And his smile got a little brighter.]

Perhaps, but I still appreciate it.

[downswing]

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.

[noenvy]

There's a lot to see! I couldn't even hear your voice. Even if you don't say much, isn't that unfair? You have a good voice and you have a good face, you shouldn't hide it.

[And it was a little funny to see him struggle, it would always be fun to see him struggle!]

Of course! No matter what world and who, Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji will always be good friends!

[But was that what Lan Wangji wanted? He so very much wanted to meddle and his tone of voice was nothing but playful. Dangerous.]

[downswing]

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

Take care.

[noenvy]

[The smallest of smiles, but he will love them none the less.]

I will! And you do as well.

Don't be a stranger.
