Really? I have recently learned we both have similar tastes.

[ Enough about that since now it's about Psyche. ]

I could tell. You both looked like you were having a good time.

[ He did catch sight of it in the middle of those bottle spins ]

[diabolizes]

[ Oh. He looks confused for a second, but the reason why soon becomes clear: ]

…I wasn’t even aware.

[ He’s stupid. ]

[chosenwang]

[ So stupid. So so stupid. He will let his hand lower from his hair. ]

Aware of how you looked? Or that you were obvious?

[diabolizes]

Aware of how I looked.

[ Hm. Just… give him a moment to process this. ]

I suppose I didn’t realize it was obvious to other people either, but then again, I always make my feelings known.

[chosenwang]

I think the only one it might not be obvious to is her. What a pair you two make.

[ Time to just watch his own beer as he swirls it. ]

When did it all start?

[diabolizes]

[ He’s so lost in thought that he doesn’t even realize Wang Lu is staring at his drink. ]

I believe… the second time we met. It was easy to tell her things about my childhood, and stories about my siblings… and she never judged me for what I’ve had to do. I think it scares her in some way, but she doesn’t let that get to her.

[chosenwang]

[ It's for the best. ]

You did say that was important in a partner. She's the type who would overcome things if someone is there with her.

[ So any thing that scares her will be gone. ]

[diabolizes]

She very much is. Honestly, I think she’s much stronger than she gives herself credit for.

[ Wei Wuxian sighs. ]

I’ll have to remind her of that.

[chosenwang]

She definitely tends to undersell herself, and denies it when you point it out.

[ Pausing for a moment before he gives Wei Wuxian a pat on the shoulder. There there ]

You do have your work cut out on you, but I'm sure you both will make each other happy if you choose to pursue it.

[diabolizes]

She does. I hope I can help her get used to accepting it instead of denying.

[ It’s starting to work, at least! He smiles when Wang Lu pats him on the shoulder. ]

I appreciate your blessing. [ And he really means it. Wang Lu is special to him, even if he was wary of a fellow cultivator at first. ] I’d be happy to extend my own blessing to you as well, should you ever need it.

[chosenwang]

[ Time to just down his beer.

Ha ha. ] No need to worry about that ever occurring. [ His luck is pretty atrocious. ] I'm grabbing another drink. Want anything?

[diabolizes]

[ WANG LUUUUU :crymeow: ]

You have a lot going for you, so don’t discount anything just yet. [ He pauses. ] Ah, I’m alright. I don’t know if getting drunk around here is a good idea for me.

[ Just in general. And he wants to be able to properly comfort anyone else he comes across. ]

[chosenwang]

[ He'll be fine. Everyone is better off without him ]

Ah, I already know that I've been quite cursed with the subject. [ It isn't like Wei Wuxian would be able to figure it out. ]

Maybe another night then. [ Time to get another beer from the cat bot and calm down. Then he'll be back with the usual smile. ]

Anything else on your mind as of late?

[diabolizes]

[ i, amb, am personally yelling at wang lu

Wei Wuxian takes Wang Lu's answer at face value, simply because it lines up with the fact that he broke off an engagement. Maybe he isn't ready to like someone else (or maybe Wei Wuxian is also just stupid, both can be true). ]

Outside of my problems back home and worrying about a few others here? Nothing really.

[ He's under the full belief that things here Could Be Worse. ]

What about yourself? Are you used to the kind of sights we witnessed at trial today?

[chosenwang]

[ it's fine he'll be forever alone ]

Don't worry yourself too much. We wouldn't want to find any more grays.

[ Let's just go back to jokes and forget feelings were ever a thing. ]

Nothing quite as bad as someone bursting out of the back of a friend.

[diabolizes]

It was quite the sight, wasn't it?

[ But... Wei Wuxian wasn't all that bothered by it honestly, and it shows. Sometimes, doing horrible awful things to people can desensitize one to even the worst of the worst. ]

I didn't expect things to go quite that awry, but I can't blame Beelzebub for doing it either... I'm simply glad he survived it.

[ Someone would have killed Lobelia at that trial one way or another. ]

[chosenwang]

[ He was hoping it would be Billy with a chair honestly.

Since they aren't talking matters of the heart, he will put a hand on Wei Wuxian's shoulder again. ]

I am assuming you've seen all matters of things given your abilities. [ Since he's a necromancer ]

As am I. Beelzebub is a good kid. [ Who is probably the oldest there ]

[diabolizes]

[ That little piece of comfort gives him pause, but he smiles soon after. ]

I have. I've done plenty of horrible things with my own abilities.

[ He sighs. ]

I don't know if he'd like you calling him a kid.

[chosenwang]

I won't force you to relive the experience, but if you ever have a time where you need to talk about it or are suffering from it still... I'll lend you whatever you need.

[ He truly means that. ]

I told him it was about the spirit! He has quite the youthful one. I almost envy it.

[diabolizes]

[ A youthful spirit... well, Wang Lu certainly isn't wrong about that.

But, more importantly... ]

I think it would be best if I spared you the details. I'm not a good person when I'm seeking out vengeance.
