And I always thought you were so honest, Wei Wuxian. Maybe he's just shy?

[ That's to Wang Lu, who gets a sidelong smile before her expression sobers. ]

I've been wondering about that, too. Some poisons only work in combinations... like something you drink that doesn't have any effect until you breathe in a powder later. It could be because Wei Wuxian went somewhere else, or... something like that. [ She bites her lip a little, then adds: ] Could anyone have put something on the flute?

[diabolizes]

A combination would make sense. Given last night, it makes no sense for Wang Lu to be alright.

[ He frowns, staring up at the ceiling. ]

I always keep my flute on me. It would be nearly impossible to put something on it.

[ He even sleeps with it tucked close. The only exception was putting it on the bar counter for a while the previous night. ]

…I’m sorry for worrying the two of you like that.

[chosenwang]

He can be quite shy. [ It's adorable really ]

[ Can't believe someone snuck in while they were busy to poison Wei Wuxian's flute ]

I do wonder if there will be a repeat but with a stronger dose. [ Wei Wuxian is talking like it's done and over with but they still have a night of being knocked out to look forward to. ]

We also don't know the full range of people's abilities so it may not even need to be applied to anything. [ Maybe it was a spell like in the popular JRPG Last Dream series ]

[chrysaline]

Until we know what happened, you should both be careful. [ With a little frown at Wang Lu too, and she reaches for his hand. ] We don't even know which of you they were trying poison, or if something will happen again, and if I can't heal it...

[ Well. She's still pretty stressed, but she does at least know it's not Wei Wuxian's fault. She can lean down to kiss his forehead while still holding onto Wang Lu. ]

You already promised to tell us properly next time. But... I really will be angry if you forget again.

[diabolizes]

[ He leans into that little kiss, letting out a sigh. Wang Lu is right about it probably not being over, and it frustrates him, especially as he'd like to move on from his immediately like he does with most things. ]

...I'll do my best not to forget.

[ Wei Wuxian pauses, like he's considering saying more, and he eventually decides to. ]

I've gotten used to keeping that kind of thing to myself.

[chosenwang]

[ It's almost instinct at this point to take her hand when she reaches out. He's going to look from her, and then look to Wei Wuxian. ] While I appreciate your concern, I doubt I was the intended recipient. They would have had plenty of openings to get me or both of us if they wanted.

[ They were rather distracted with their chat.

Placing his palm carefully on Wei Wuxian as he doesn't want him hacking up more. ]

[chrysaline]

Maybe. But until we know for certain, it could have been either of you. [ A firmer hand squeeze! She's glad they were so distracted, but still...

She looks down at Wang Lu's hand on Wei Wuxian and smiles a little. ]

It takes time to change a habit. I know you're trying. We all just... need time to get used to it, maybe.

[diabolizes]

I suppose there's no real use overthinking it until we get real evidence that could point us to who or what did it.

[ He takes a long, deep breath, his lungs feeling... pretty bad, honestly. Wei Wuxian wipes a bit of sweat from his brow. ]

...Time will help.

[chosenwang]

[ Brushing his thumb against Wei Wuxian as he shakes his head. While he knows thinking in circles isn't helping, and they should just enjoy the moment now, he keeps going back to last night and the possibilities. He does give something of a tired smile to them both though. ]

Time will help. Maybe a bath as well. Psyche, do you have washcloths around here? [ Hopefully their bonding time last night didn't make whatever it was worse ]

[chrysaline]

[ Wang Lu and her both, honestly. But the tiredness in his expression makes her brow knit for just a moment again before she gets to her feet. ]

Of course. I'll get them. [ To Wei Wuxian, nominally, although she'll accept Wang Lu outvoting him: ] Should I go find you a change of clothes, too?

[diabolizes]

Are you going to bathe me yourself?

[ That’s the idea he’s getting here.

He frowns at them both, though. They’re tired because of him, and it’s because they thought he was going to die… it’s a strange feeling, one that leaves him feeling oddly at a loss on how to deal with it. ]

I have a drawer in my cabana with different clothes. Feel free to take your pick.

[chosenwang]

You have my thanks, beautiful. [ Said to Psyche.

Then he'll look at Wei Wuxian with a grin. ]

Only if you're up for it and promise try to keep your hands off of me. I know I'm handsome, but you aren't well yet.

[ Giving a wink. ]

[chrysaline]

I'll pick something cute for you.

[ She touches her hand briefly to Wang Lu's shoulder as she passes, giving a little laugh. He's still trying to cheer them both up when he's this tired, honestly...

She rummages around to retrieve the spare washcloths and sets them on the bed for Wang Lu before she heads to the door. What will she return to, a mystery. ]

[diabolizes]

[ He waves Psyche off and immediately holds his arms out to Wang Lu. ]

Help me up and undress me.

[ No shame. ]

[chosenwang]

[ Giving a smile at her. ]

I have some neon pink clothes that could fit. [ If she wants to put him in something bright.

He huffs out a laugh as he gets up. He probably isn't asking to be picked up, but that's what he is going to do. Bending down and carefully putting his arms around him. ] Hold on tight. I don't want you coughing up more of your blood.

[diabolizes]

[ psyche can pop back in anytime!! but for now—

Wei Wuxian actually doesn’t mind being picked up, and he’ll even tiredly lay his head on Wang Lu’s shoulder. Just as before, he’s sweaty and feverish, his heart beating so fast that Wang Lu can probably feel with with their proximity. ]

What if I want to cough some up?

[ He’ll behave… ]

[chosenwang]

[ Lifting him up with quite a bit of care as to not drop him. Time to head to the bathroom. ]

Then I'll kiss you to see if it's contagious. [ Keep your insides on the inside. He's going to set him down on the hopefully closed toilet (how romantic). ] Has it been beating like this the whole time? [ it's a wonder he isn't having a heart attack or something ]

[diabolizes]

If you’re into tongues like mine, you’re free to do so.

[ He won’t say no.

But he shifts around on the toilet lid, frowning. ]

It has, yes. I knew when I woke up with it racing that something was wrong.

[chosenwang]

Not sure if I ever tried black before, but I was into it before the color change.

[ He does lean in to press their foreheads together. It's tempting, but he also doesn't want to make the heart rate go faster.. ]

Not sure if you heart can handle another round. [ He's going to kneel down in front of him and start disrobing him. ]

Looks like you got me to kneel after all.

[diabolizes]

[ There’s a self-satisfied grin on his face as he shifts around to make it easier for Wang Lu to work off his clothes. ]

I knew I would one day. [ He just hoped it would be a more fun situation. ] Are you going to call me daddy while you’re down there?

[chosenwang]

[ He laughs ]

Do you really want me calling you daddy when you can't do anything about it? [ Imagine if Psyche came back to that ]

[diabolizes]

[ Even better. ]

I can still do plenty.

[ Yes, he would in fact still try to have sex like this. But he at least does know that he’ll be scolded again if he even makes an attempt.

He coughs a few times, covering his mouth with his hand and getting his palm covered in blood. Lovely. ]

[chosenwang]

[ Nothing like bleeding all over in the bathroom to set the mood. He waits for him to finish before he takes toilet paper to wipe the blood from his hand ]

And risk Psyche never trusting me to look after you again? [ Planting a quick kiss against those knuckles ] When you're healed up, I'll call you daddy as many times as you want.

[diabolizes]

[ Wow, he’s loving the attention, honestly. Maybe he should get sick like this more…

It’s hard, hating and loving being fussed over. He contemplates this little problem, but decides to stick with the very important topic at hand. ]

You can call me whatever you want to.

[chosenwang]

In that case, I will take my time thinking about it.

[ Tossing away the paper. ]

I was a bit too distracted with you that I forgot the washcloths. Don't miss me too much. [ It will only take a few seconds, but he has to make it seem like a WHOLE JOURNEY ]
