[wifedup]

Has it?

[lanclan]

If I cannot repay the food and clothing I have been given since my arrival, I can at least lend people my sword and xiao at a moment's notice.

[wifedup]

Oh, all right. I suppose you have a point.

( He'll have to work on Lan Xichen's selfishness. )

Just remember that you have to keep yourself well too. Otherwise you'll be of no use. That includes resy.

[lanclan]

I feel better with Wen Kexing here.

[wifedup]

That reminds me, does your brother and his husband follow the same dietary restrictions?

[lanclan]

Wangji is vegetarian, Wei Wuxian is very much not. He was raised in Yunmeng, on a lake where the summer lasted more seasons than it didn't, the same as his brother Jiang Wanyin. Yunmeng is well-placed for a lot of trade, they have more options for cuisine.

Why do you ask?

[wifedup]

In case I am to bring you food. It wouldn't be good to ignore the rest of your family.

[lanclan]

Oh, I don't live with them. Please feel free to take them whatever you wish without cooking for everyone at once.

[wifedup]

Well, whoever you're staying with then.

( HE'S COOKING. )

[lanclan]

I'm not staying with anyone, I am in a cave.

[wifedup]

All right.

Then I'll see you later. You better stop by the time the sun sets, otherwise I'll have to track you down further from the caves and I'm very tired.

[lanclan]

I will be sure to visit my good, very tired friend. Where are you?

[wifedup]

Currently? In a river.

Or, no. Beside one.

[lanclan]

Are you dirty?

[wifedup]

Usually I get wined and dined before someone asks me that :D

( Harmless flirting, what can beat it? )

And no, unfortunately I can't adhere to the vegetarian lifestyle. I'm fishing.

[lanclan]

:)

I have eaten fish in the past, please do not tell my brother.

[wifedup]

I would never betray Lan Huan's trust like that.

( ... Well. )

[lanclan]

Please do not.

What can I give you in exchange for a fish?

[wifedup]

Your company.

And the promise that if you don't know what to do with it once I bring it you'll let me take care of the cooking. Ah-Xu tried once and broke it's gallbladder. Poor Chengling was almost sick to his stomach.

[lanclan]

[ Why is cooking so hard??? ]

... Perhaps if you bring the fish, I can barter for a little wine.

[wifedup]

( Pfft. You'll learn. )

It's a deal. Though do not pressure yourself. I'm a little worried the merchants will take one look at you and take advantage.

[lanclan]

I have Shuoyue with me. My robes are not as fine as they were months ago but she cuts an imposing sight, in a pinch.

[wifedup]

I'm sure Lan Huan is imposing indeed, but that matters very little to the shrewd. You look like a gentleman. Gentlemen are often very stupid.

( Says the man pretending to be one. )

[lanclan]

Then I will endeavour to be "savvy" like Wen Kexing.

[wifedup]

See to it. If I get a reputation here because I have to threaten a vendor on your behalf I'll be upset.
