Do not argue with your family, for it doesn't matter who wins.
Do not fight without permission.
Be amicable and united.
Do not sow discord.
Do not be unreasonable.
Correct others by correcting yourself.
Be sad for other people’s sufferings.
Destroy the five poisons.
Do not hold grudges.

A short recitation for the evening.

[downswing]

Jiang Wanyin best undiscussed.

Agreed?

[lanclan]

Please do not let me hear of discord between you two.

[downswing]

Understood.

[lanclan]

Not because the news simply does not reach me, Wangji.

[downswing]

You distrust my word.

[lanclan]

Your words are known to be selective.

[downswing]

To you?


( Stab, then twist. )

[lanclan]

I am being clear with my wishes, not insinuating insults. Calm yourself.

[downswing]

This one hears.


( And may need a few shi to lick his wound. )

[lanclan]

Enough talk of Jiang Wanyin, then.

I went to speak with Wei Wuxian.

[downswing]

He assisted?

[lanclan]

Not about this, or that. I simply wanted to sit with him.

[downswing]

...I see.



( That moment when the precepts prohibit burning curiosity. )

[lanclan]

Wangji, is that man your dearest friend?

[downswing]

He is.

[lanclan]

[ He's sect leader, he's the older brother. Fuck it, we ball — ]

And is that all he is to you?

[downswing]

I have staked blood, truth and name for him.

[lanclan]

You are still avoidant on this subject, as you were when a boy.

[downswing]

I answer as asked.

[lanclan]

I was there after the lashes, after the way you burned yourself, after the drinking. I know what you have staked on him. I know he lives between your breaths and thoughts, whether he lives or not. He is a good man that I am sorry to have wronged and would gladly place my brother into the care of.

I hope one day you will trust me with this.

[downswing]

His position has not shifted in nearly two decades.

[downswing]

When I bound his wrist before our ancestor.

[lanclan]

[ Two decades and in front of their ancestor. Why is part of him not at all surprised? ]

[lanclan]

Wangji, did he realise?
