[ Wen Ning had scrolled upon Wei Wuxian's post entirely by accident since it's not often that he uses the network, finding most of the discussions there beyond him. He was rather surprised by the large response to the post, even more so to the lack of context the responders had and how it led to some rather fierce conversations with his master.

Though he had initially been ready to respond to each and do his best to clarify matters (he could not have people speaking so ill of Young Master Wei when they did not properly know him), the sheer number involved had convinced him that it might be better to make a post of his own. Even though he is nowhere near as good with words as Wei Wuxian.

At least the "voice-to-text" application on his device should make it easy for him to communicate without his usual hangups. It's guard dog time. ]

There is something that must be said.

Young Master Wei only wishes to help me have a fuller life here. To be able to share food and drinks with others. To be like others who received a second chance here.

He is none of the things people here have accused him of. He is a kind person. And I trust him fully.

As he said, I am well. Even though I am not the same as you.

I will not have anyone saying false things about him.

Choose me?

I don't know, I don't think they chose me. Like I said, there was no rhyme or reason to who became burnish. I just resonated well with them. Maybe they knew I would understand them better than most humans, but

It's too late to ask now. They're gone.

[goodboyplaydead]

Maybe there is something about you. That drew them. Something you cannot see.

[burningfree]

Maybe. But the monster I talked about was burnish as well.

What does that say about me?

[goodboyplaydead]

It is the same for my master and the man who tried to control me. They share the same skill. The same interest.

The difference is how they use their abilities.

[burningfree]

Hm.

[Good answer, Wen Ning.]

I see your point.

Tell your master he doesn't need to worry about me sticking my nose in this business. And I apologize, if my paranoia offended either of you.

I may still be wary, but I respect your autonomy, and your judgment.

[goodboyplaydead]

Thank you. For your understanding.
