[downswing]

Apologies. Scouting.

The bathhouses remain secure?

[lanclan]

Yes, no one is hurt.

Wangji, do not go far from me.

[downswing]

There is... a complication.

The woman they suspect in the forest. The perpetrator of villainy.

[lanclan]

You and I, we can go together. Find her.

[downswing]

She holds sway over the dead.

Those who wield them.

[lanclan]

You would prefer to take Wei Wuxian, then? As a precaution.

[downswing]

No.

I prefer his whereabouts distant from her. He may prove a liability.

[lanclan]

I see now.

We shall go into the forest together, wait for me.

[downswing]

And we must divert Wei Ying.

[lanclan]

I'm flattered you believe I can do the impossible. That is your particular area of expertise.

[downswing]

We are not of Yunmeng, to settle for attempts or fratricide.

[lanclan]

On another matter, it would not hurt to mend the standing state of things between you and a certain sect leader.

[downswing]

Are we at war?

[lanclan]

That is hardly the only good reason to keep the peace.

[downswing]

No fresh bloodshed. Peace thrives.

[lanclan]

I would speak with Jiang Wanyin, if I thought it would help. He is never anything but sensible with me.

[downswing]

What improvements do you wish?

We will never share friendship.

[lanclan]

You cannot hate the man, Wangji. You should not.

[downswing]

What trouble of Gusu Lan is my heart, while peace holds?



( Cloud Recesses was not concerned with the turbulence of his feelings for decades. So long as peace was observed. )

[lanclan]

[ Cold, bro. ]

It has always concerned me.

[downswing]

He is as nothing to me. Be at ease.

[lanclan]

That does not bring me comfort to hear, but I understand.

[downswing]

If I courted peace between brother and Jin Guangyao over Chifeng-zun's ashes, Zewu-Jun would accept?

[lanclan]

Jiang Wanyin is far from a monster.

[downswing]

You speak this to me?

His sword, at his brother's throat. At cliff's edge.
