All people want something.

[ Huh. She props her chin on her fist as she studies him for a little while, evaluating. ]

...Do you know how many would-be assassins I've already had to kill in this body? A promise like that would be meaningless. But you may tell Psyche that I understood her feelings very well. [ She pauses a second, but a little grudgingly, adds: ] I have no intention of making the first move. But I'm hardly so good-natured as to offer up my throat for the knife.

[diabolizes]

And you shouldn’t. I would kill anyone who attempts to kill me first as well.

[ There’s no hesitation in his voice, and he doesn’t seem to have much of a moral issue with it. ]

I won’t hold it against you should something happen.

[chrysaline]

Then I suppose we can consider ourselves unlikely allies. Should the situation arise.

[ She glances down at the letter again, and her brow might crease very slightly. ]

That girl... did she tell you how long she intended to give me?

[diabolizes]

No. Why? Are you going to go run around the island?

[ He smiles. ]

There isn’t a whole lot to do right now. I imagine everyone’s tired from that trial.

[chrysaline]

Yes. [ BLUNTLY. ] Obviously it would be more convenient to be familiar with the terrain myself...

[ Wait, is he laughing at her again. She tries to give him a withering look, which has an unfortunate tendency to look pouty on Psyche's good-natured face. ]

If she didn't say, then she'll return soon to make certain I haven't stabbed you. Tell her that the next time I need a few hours. At the least.

[diabolizes]

[ Unfortunately, that look is more cute to Wei Wuxian than anything else. ]

Alright, alright. I’ll tell her as much.

[ He shifts around and settles more comfortable on the bar stool. ]

I’m not going to tag along so you can actually focus on your surroundings, but I might be drunk by the time you come back.

[chrysaline]

[ Medea hops down from the barstool and frowns a tiny bit at her balance. ]

So I see. ...Try to stay alert enough not to be ambushed, won't you?

[ 'Psyche would be upset' goes unsaid but strongly inferred. Medea moves to take the sword -- and leave the letter -- and will go make her circuit. Though if Wei Wuxian stays for very long, Psyche will definitely be jogging back in a hurry. ]

[diabolizes]

Haha! Don’t worry, I will.

[ also because he can’t be drunk yet for later pcs

Wei Wuxian waves her off, and once he spots Psyche (?) jogging back to him, he waves. ]

How was the tour?

[chrysaline]

[ Probably actually Psyche... she's visibly flustered and out of breath. She rests her palms on her thighs as she pants and looks him up and down quickly. No blood??? ]

Thank goodness... I didn't know what to think when I came back on the other island.

[diabolizes]

[ No blood! In fact, Wei Wuxian looks very relaxed as he leans on the bar counter. ]

Medea took a walk around to see what she had to work with.

[ Yknow. In case she kills. No biggie. ]

[chrysaline]

[ Psyche lets out a little sigh and sits down next to him again. ]

That's good... I was worried about her hurting someone if she misunderstood the situation. [ Or understood it entirely too well. ] But I didn't want her in a dangerous position because she doesn't know the island, either. It's such a relief.

[diabolizes]

I’m glad you feel relieved.

[ Wei Wuxian doesn’t, but… he’ll deal with things as they come. ]

She was pleasant with me, all things considered.

[chrysaline]

Was she? She can seem a little sharp, but she's just cautious. She must have liked you.

[ Also a relief... She wishes Medea had had time to leave her a letter in return, she wants her impressions. She smiles over at him at the thought. ]

Thank you. You're always helping me.

[ And she's so glad at least he knows about Medea now. Maybe he knows her well enough that he could see the difference between them, but... Eros and her parents can't, and she doesn't want to test him. ]

[diabolizes]

No need to thank me.

[ He smiles a little. After all, for those he’s fond of, he’ll do anything. ]

We’ve got to stick together, after all.

[chrysaline]

That's true. I wish I could do something for you, though. I hope I didn't add to your worries.

[ She wanted to cheer him up too, after all. This week she's making him soup for certain. ]

[diabolizes]

You haven't, I promise.

[ Despite knowing he might need to clean up a crime scene, he isn't worried whatsoever. ]

I think your presence is enough.
