Wangji, did he realise?

[downswing]

By the fourth wedding.

[lanclan]

WANGJI!

[downswing]

He initiated the turns after.

At ease. He will serve tea. I beg brother's patience. He lacks form.

[lanclan]

I am not put out by Wei Wuxian, if anything I am half-convinced I ought to seek his forgiveness on behalf of Gusu Lan!
You do not MARRY people without their consent. You of all people know this well.

Was the first time before you asked me if you could bring a man back to Cloud Recesses, to hide him?

[downswing]

It was. A rite of duress.

Only those bound by clan ribbons were permitted sanctuary. One ribbon present.

I am not our father.

[lanclan]

I will believe you because I cannot wrap my head around how it happened otherwise.

Yet it took four rites for him to realise you were committed? What happened with the other three?

[downswing]

He is a brilliant man.

And a fool.

[lanclan]

I knew this from the moment I sat him down to speak of you many years ago.

The three other rites, Wangji. Elaborate.

[downswing]

Here. At times, after I took wine. Duress.

No expectations inflicted upon the unknowing.

[lanclan]

I did not expect there would be.

You have allowed me to address your husband so casually for this long. Wangji, I am embarrassed.

[downswing]

What difference?

[lanclan]

He is part of our family now, I ought to have welcomed him. It would have been my joy to do this!

[downswing]

Unnecessary. He spoils too readily.

Neglect him. He thrives.

[lanclan]

I will not neglect my brother-in-law.

Did you marry in red, at any point? I should love to see you wedded, Wangji.

[downswing]

Our rites sufficed.

A trifling matter.

[lanclan]

I am very hard done by in all of this.

[downswing]

I accept the penalty for disrespect.

[lanclan]

I wish to see you both in the proper red.

[downswing]

Respectfully decline.

[lanclan]

Depriving me of seeing you wedded? That does ... disappoint me.

[downswing]

Nothing has changed.

I remain your shadow.

[lanclan]

A lack of spectacle and shared joy, which you deserve.

[downswing]

I was seen sixteen years.

It pleases me now to absent.

[lanclan]

We should have a family dinner, at the very least! Or tea.

[ Give him! Something!! ]
