There's a task which will take me to the mountains and I'm not sure if I'll make it back tonight. I've never been gone overnight before, Jiejie might worry. Keep an eye on her for me or I'll break your legs.
I'm leaving my dog behind since I'm going on Sandu, don't scream when you see her, you'll damage her hearing with your screeching.
( oh. oh, this is-... jiang cheng's checking in with him before he goes somewhere. it's probably not as big a deal as it feels. and yet wei ying is heartened by it, enough that his stupid brain and his stupid fingers send - )
By yourself?
I could come with you.
( ...gods, why did he send that? hastily: )That was stupid. You don't want me coming along. Something something too loud, pain in the ass, ruin the whole trip - I'll check in on Shijie, don't you worry.
[ Oh. He had... not expected this. It honestly hadn't occurred to him that Wei Wuxian could offer to come with him, that he would want to.
He chews on his bottom lip as he tries to figure out a reply - wishing now that he hadn't contacted him at all since he can't accept but doesn't want to rebuff him either. ]
I have to do this by myself. I need to show my sincerity to someone I have wronged. Even if I STILL think I was right. But that isn't the point.
( hold on - did he just read that jiang cheng is actually... deliberately and sincerely attempting to make amends with someone? someone who isn't shijie? it's nearly enough for wei ying to accuse him of being some sort of imposter, but he's keenly aware of what happens when you punish people in such a way for doing good things.
instead, )Am I not? I suppose I have been a bit tired. Don't you worry, I'll be back up to proper incessance again in no time.
[ That... is not what he meant. But he can't argue either, his face isn't anywhere near thick enough to have a second conversation about feelings within as many months. ]
No doubt. You'll be back to being the bane of my existence soon enough.
"Here you go, Madam, I've brought you this smelly goat! It's a symbol of all of the amends I wish to make - the reek clearly represents how much I stink for upsetting you."
After you've acquired it? Jiang Cheng. Suppose you climb all the way down the mountain and find your apology goat a ribbon and he won't even eat the thing, what then?

I truly will. At all hours. It'll be great.

[ Don't spare him, please. ]
If you wake me up in the middle of the night I'll have to send Blossom after you.

You're apologizing with a goat?

Are you at least going to bathe it first?
no subject
She's not going to keep it like a lap dog!
no subject
I've changed my mind, it's a great idea.
no subject
But FINE I will put a purple bow on the goat! Are you happy now?!
no subject
no subject
Well. Yes. I will have done what I can. At least she will have confirmation that the goat has a healthy appetite.
no subject
Do you think that you should perhaps bring an extra ribbon to test such a thing?
no subject

no subject
I don't know!
Look, I won't go back and get another goat if the first won't eat the ribbon!
[ When did they even decide the goat eating the ribbon is a good thing? Why did he ever agree to a ribbon in the first place??? ]
