I can think of nothing that would make him happier.

[ God, the look Wang Lu would give him… endearing and annoying at the same time. ]

Yes, he would likely be stronger. But I bet I would have been stronger than him without restrictions.

[chrysaline]

[ The look on Wei Wuxian's face at that... she can't suppress a laugh. ]

I think you're both very impressive. [ there, there. ] But after all, you're a clan patriarch and he's a disciple, right? So, I'm sure you would be.

[diabolizes]

I’m glad that you see the truth.

[ He grins. Psyche shouldn’t be fueling this, but it’s all in good fun anyway. ]

He’ll bow down and call me Wei-gege.

[chrysaline]

Wei-gege?

[ She echoes the intonation with curiosity - if this is another one of those "bofa" jokes she's going to be very vexed. ]

[diabolizes]

[ It’s worse. ]

It means “older brother”. For Wang Lu to call me that, it’s meant to be endearing, as if he’s fawning over me.

[chrysaline]

He does, doesn't he? [ Fawn over Wei Wuxian. Extravagantly, actually. Psyche rocks a little with suppressed amusement as she considers it. ] Then, could I call you that? ...Would I call him Wang-gege?

[diabolizes]

[ He ruffles her hair a bit. ]

You could. Try it and see how he reacts.

[ Wei Wuxian winks. ]

And you can call me that, but want to know a secret? I think I'd like Wei Ying better.

[ It's much more intimate to him. ]

[chrysaline]

Should I wait until you're there to see what face he makes?

[ It could be funny! She smiles and leans her head into his hand. ]

You're sure? I know you said it was... very familiar.

[diabolizes]

Please do.

[ He needs to see it. But as for her other question… ]

We’ve slept together. Why should it be off limits?

[chrysaline]

[ He's so offhand about that... the act itself doesn't embarrass her, but his plain-speaking does, and she hides her face against his chest and makes a little grumble of protest. ]

Wei... Wei Ying, don't just say it like that...

[diabolizes]

[ He laughs, a pleasant feeling settling in his chest. ]

But it’s a fact, isn’t it? We slept together.

[ Now he’s just trying to embarrass her. ]

[chrysaline]

[ You know what? Maybe he's lost talking privileges. She reaches up to cover his mouth with her palm. ]

We were talking about important things! Um... I still need to see if my healing works on Wang Lu. Or you when you're not sick. And, um...

[ Important! Things! She'll kill him. ]

[diabolizes]

[ He thinks her healing will work on Wang Lu, but he doesn’t want to test if it’ll work on himself.

But since he’s in talking jail, he doesn’t contribute whatsoever and just licks her palm instead. ]

[chrysaline]

[ Well, that's one way to free himself. She jerks her hand back with a yelp and a laugh because that half-tickles. ]

You...

[diabolizes]

[ And he…

Bursts out laughing. ]

Hahahahaha!

[chrysaline]

[ ...His laugh is nice, so he gets away with it for a few seconds.

Then she squirms up and reaches for the pillow to moosh it mercilessly into his face. ]

So my mistake was using my hand...

[diabolizes]

[ That hair gets him to start laughing again as he flails his limbs.

Can’t believe this is the next murder. ]

[chrysaline]

[ It's what he deserves!!!

Though after a second or two she does lift it again to make sure he can breathe. He's too cute for her to be ruthless. ]

That works much better. I'll remember it.

[diabolizes]

And if I throw a tantrum? Or pinch you?

[ He holds a hand up threateningly as he zeroes in on her side. ]

[chrysaline]

[ Not her only weakness?? She bats at his hand, though she's already preemptively laughing. ]

I'll cry, and you'll feel terrible.

[diabolizes]

[ He laughs, letting his hand drop. ]

You're right, I will. I felt terrible seeing you cry earlier this week.

[chrysaline]

I didn't realize you saw that...

[ Embarrassing. She reaches for his hand and drags it back to her side again. ]

[diabolizes]

[ He lets her take his hand with no problem. ]

I may have been coughing up blood, but I could still see, Psyche.

[chrysaline]

[ She sighs and hides her face against his chest again. ]

I'm sorry. You were in trouble and Wang Lu was worried, and that was all I could do... it's so frustrating.

[diabolizes]

You don’t need to apologize for that. Tears aren’t a sign of weakness.

[ He’s a little touched that she would cry for him, honestly. ]
