w3: after everything sunday

[chosenwang]

psyche
wei wuxian is mean to me
he wouldn't miss me if i was a ghost
nor does he care if i haunt someone else
can you believe it?

[ woe is him ]

[chrysaline]

[ why is this only the second-strangest message she's received here ]

I think that's how he jokes! He told me he'd have someone else send my restless spirit.

I don't mind if you haunt me, though. But please don't die.

[chosenwang]

he might have said that because he would be tempted to keep you around
while he would be okay with me leaving him
this unfair treatment

will you really? i might not let others haunt you if that's the case

[chrysaline]

Why were you threatening to haunt him in the first place? I'd really rather not have anyone haunting me...

[chosenwang]

He was ice cold to me!
I asked if I was injured would he

[ Wait wait wait. ]

patch me up!
He said no! So cold.

[ Did he save it? ]

[chrysaline]

[ That's the opposite of a save... now he has her undivided attention. ]

He doesn't have healing powers, though. Wang Lu, have you been hiding injuries? Where are you>

[ SHE'S ALARMED ENOUGH TO TYPO boy you're in trouble ]

[chosenwang]

[ OH NO ]

Don't worry
I'm not injured. Just exhausted after a fight!
I decided to aim whatever left of my energy to tease our dear friend a little bit

[ He'll be honest so she doesn't have a whole panic ]

[chrysaline]

Where Are You

[ Did she stutter??? ]

I'm glad you're feeling well enough to tease him

[chosenwang]

[ UH OH ]

At the pelican cabana

I think I'll always have a bit of energy to tease

[ It's his default anyways ]

[chrysaline]

That's a relief. I'll be there in a minute.

[ And she probably will! The cabanas aren't that far apart and she can book it when she wants to. There better not be any partially dressed Pelicans about, because she's not going to knock for long before she peeks in. ]

Wang Lu?

[chosenwang]

[ Wow she's peeking in on him changing scandalous!

In reality, he's just laying in his bed with half of his robe layers on. There's a total of like six, so missing some isn't actually scandalous.

He does sit up when he hears her and waves her in. It looks like he's ALL ALONE ]

I see you're the type to just peek. Were you hoping to see something?

[ He looks tired, but it looks like he washed up recently ]

[chrysaline]

[ She pauses for a second to assess layers, so she might be considering being scandalized. But it doesn't hold her for long, and she marches in. ]

I told you I was on my way. If you weren't proper by now, I'd think it was on purpose.

[ And Then What? The mystery. She heads over to where he's sitting so she can look him over properly. ]

You're really not hurt? How did you even get into a fight that serious?

[chosenwang]

[ Snickering at that ]

Maybe in the future it will be.

[ He'll lift up his arms so she can inspect more ]

Shuda was the only one who took any serious damage. [ Moravia's hair was almost a casualty. ] Temenos will talk about it soon in a meeting, but we encountered a disgusting creature by the waterfall. [ A beat ] Good news, there may be a lot of pieces of crystal for us to collect.

[chrysaline]

[ She's not quite wound up enough to do a patdown for injuries, but she takes that invitation to at least look him over. ]

There are beasts here now too? I'm so glad you weren't attacked by anyone here, but...

[ What a mess. She sighs and finally lets herself slump a little in relief. ]

If Temenos was there, then it should be fine. Don't scare me like that.

[chosenwang]

[ He'll pat the spot beside him. Come join ]

From what I heard, someone may have pressed some buttons that created or released a monster from a lab here. Temenos is planning on sharing everything in a day or two.

[ Might be selfish of him but... ] It does warm my heart to see you so worked up over me. [ It's actually nice after everything. Anyways! Back to the other topic! ]

Shuda, Temenos, and Ibuki were all there. Mags also healed Shuda and Temenos afterwards. Did you know he kisses people to heal them?

[chrysaline]

[ She will, in fact! She sits down beside him with just a little bounce and lets herself relax a little. ]

Of course I was. I bet you'd hide it from me if you really were injured, too. [ She puffs her cheeks at him indignantly, but she's listening. ]

...He does? So he kissed both of them? [ She's not judging, but... she might be having to stifle a little giggle. ] They must have been startled...

[chosenwang]

[ Reaching over to get a light pinch to her cheek (face) ] I can't confirm or deny that.

[ He would never tell anyone until after he was healed ]

He does! You should have seen Shuda's face. He was so shocked by it and then upset. It was as if someone stole his first.

[chrysaline]

[ PLEASE, THE CLARIFICATION ] Then, I'm just going to worry every time. I can't heal things I don't know about.

[ Jerk!! But she's willing to take the diversion, and just give him a little elbowing for being pinched. ]

Hm... but he was drinking during the party that first week. [ For the kissing NHIE. What? She was nosy. ] Maybe he just doesn't like Magolor?

[chosenwang]

You're free to check me out whenever.

[ She would have to find him though. ]

I doubt anyone wouldn't like Magolor. He has the whole little creature look going for him. [ The adorable morb mascot ] Maybe he took a drink so no one would know he never has been kissed before?

[chrysaline]

[ You know what? It's a good thing he isn't injured, because she's elbowing him again. This way she'll know for sure if he's hiding anything. ]

He does! There's something so cute about him. [ Magolor is 20 cm taller than Psyche RIP. ] Oh... there's the type of man who likes to look tougher, isn't there? Maybe Shuda is like that.

[ And she can't believe they're gossiping about this when everyone almost got eaten by monsters, but. ]

[chosenwang]

[ Time to dramatically grab where she elbowed and flop back on the bed. ]

Oh no! Have mercy! [ Then he'll peek at her and grin before he covers his face ] I'm getting beaten up here! [ Like there's someone outside who can save him.

It's okay. Mags definitely leans into the cuteness. He will definitely point at her after all the dramatics ] Shuda is definitely that type. I had to threaten to carry him like a princess before he let me help him to a spot out of the water.

[chrysaline]

Oh--

[ She freezes in panic for a moment, thinking she actually hit something. Realization takes a second to dawn and then...

she reaches for the pillow and smooshes it over his face. Perish. ]

I'm glad he let you help him, anyway... I don't know if you're any better than he is. You just carry it differently, making everything a joke.

[chosenwang]

Ah! Smothered to death by a beautiful woman.

[ He is reaching up to keep the pillow on his face. End him. ]

It does take one to know one. Would you let someone help you out in that scenario or would you tell us not to worry about you?

[chrysaline]

[ He better not actually suffocate under there... she'll repent enough to tug up a corner. ]

If no one else was in danger... I'd let someone help me. [ Maybe. Press x to doubt. ] But I'm not as strong as — you, or the others. I know I'd only cause more problems by pretending to be. Would you actually have sent a message to Wei Wuxian if you were hurt and not just teasing him?

[chosenwang]

[ He has to think about it ]

There are plenty enough healers you needn't worry about taking that away from someone. [ He has a feeling...

since the three of them are similar. ]

I did promise him I'd be more forthcoming when things are wrong, but I don't know if I could handle him fussing over me. [ If he even would. ] Whatever the case, I would have actually healed on my own. [ Tapping his own chest ] In fact, I do heal faster the more broken I become. [ Such is his cultivation ]
