necrotiem | Week 4 Curfew

I'm assuming you won't want my apologies so I'm just going to shut my mouth until we all forget about it.

[ PATTING HIS HAND... ]

We could always pick a different... [ help, someone remind her what the word for "movie" is again ]

Hm? No, this one is fine.

I promise you, I am unbothered by such depictions.

Well, as long as you two don't mind. [ the highfive...... help. ] It's a little absurd, isn't it?

[She and WWX are bonding :)]

Very. [So flashy...and everyone is so loud!] Are you sad that it's unlikely we'll get to finish it before we sleep?

I am a little curious about the ending. We could always finish it another time...

Ah, then let's pledge to return when we're able. I hate to leave a question unanswered.

[As she watches the three potential father candidates interact on screen, Quin tilts her head all the way to the left.]

I think it's the first man.

I've long since moved on from my parent's deaths.

[ He had A Lot Going On at the time, after all, as he told Waltaquin. ]

[ She did catch that... hopefully however they're sitting, she can reach out and take his hand for a moment. ]

I'm glad you have warm memories of them. And the family you found after.

As am I. It's hard to feel bitter over it all if I have so many good memories.

[ He would much rather focus on those than anything else. ]

Movie?

[ He will take the pats and let Walt answer if a new one is needed. ]

Movie, that's right. Do you two have these in your worlds?

Not in my world, but I did in my previous life. Much of the things here are familiar from there.

You mentioned that before... Is that a cultivation thing, too? Like... your soul coming back in a different body?

I have heard stories about it, but it's not really a cultivation thing. [ A look to the other cultivator as if to verify ] As far as I know, I'm the only one like that in my world.

[She waves her hand. Don't feel bad, Wang Lu!] They aren't necessary.

Actually, it would be efficient, were I betrothed, to do so... I could inform them of her demise and find out if my father was a cuckold all at once.

[ Feels like she's said that a few times to him now ]

Do you not know who your father is? [ There isn't any judgement there, just curious against his better judgement. Is she going to have a whole emotion during a certain scene? ]

[It's almost like he would prefer to rack up a debt of apologies off of her...]

Oh, no, I do, unless she was stepping out on him.

He is also dead. Perhaps I'll still get married one day, but I'll have to curate a different guest list... who shall I invite, I wonder?

[ He puts an arm around Wang Lu’s shoulders. ]

Don’t worry about it and instead consider yourself fortunate enough to not have that sort of thing cross your mind.

[ Hello ]

I do count myself lucky they are both still alive and well at present. [ He already knows it's likely uncommon to have TWO whole parents. He's the odd one out when it comes to most of his friends as well. ]

I’m happy for you.

[ He means that fully, though Wei Wuxian rarely says anything he doesn’t mean. ]

Mine live on instead in the names they chose for me.

What does your name mean? Wang Lu told me his, and I meant to ask.

My courtesy name means “no envy”.

[ Very fitting for him, isn’t it? ]

My birth name, Wei Ying, means “infant”.

[ …….Also fitting. ]

[ He leans against Wang Lu happily, turning his head to shoot him a grin. ]

They have. My father was the servant of the one who took me in, and my mother was a pupil of a famous cultivator.
