I suppose so, yes. If only to help us understand what might drive someone to kill during this game...

[Other than a desire to play by the rules.]

[givethemhell]

Considering how many others have possibly acted so far, I'd like to know that, myself.

[He's not pinning his hopes on Nie Huaisang being the answer, but he'll still ask, just in case.]

[fishingforcompliments]

I do not know what would be worse - multiple people taking lives, or the same people taking lives over and over again.

[either way, strong dislike!]

[givethemhell]

If it was the same people taking lives over and over, at least they could be stopped if they were caught.

[Multiple people also implies that more and more are slowly jumping on the LET'S STAB bandwagon, which he is not a fan of.]

[fishingforcompliments]

...it would be nice if we could stop them, if that is the case.

[If there are repeat killers -

Gods, but she wants them caught.]

[givethemhell]

I hope for the same - though it does open the question as to what might happen after.

[If it is the same person and they're stopped, who will take on the duty of killing once a week, presuming that rule about a mass death isn't false?]

[fishingforcompliments]

...

[Yeah, she looks pretty worried about that, too. She doesn't seem to know what to say, though.]

[givethemhell]

[NEITHER DOES HE, so he's just quiet for a second before flashing an apologetic smile her way.]

--Let's save that talk for later, mm? We need a little bit of a break after all of that.

[fishingforcompliments]

Ah... yes, you are quite right.

[she manages an apologetic smile in return.]

My apologies. It is difficult, sometimes, not to fall into those sorts of thoughts.

[givethemhell]

No, I understand. It's nothing to apologize for.

[He does seem sympathetic, nodding a little in response.]

And if it helps to talk about it, then we can - but if all it's doing right now is turning your mind in circles, maybe it's best to take a small rest from all the thinking.

[fishingforcompliments]

Yes.

[This time, her smile seems a little less sad.]

Thank you, for reminding me of that. ...it is hard to catch it as it is happening, when you are in the middle of it.

[givethemhell]

Hah... I know that too well.

[BOY DOES HE.]

The best thing to do for it is to have someone else around to give you a little nudge when you need one, mm?

[fishingforcompliments]

[She nods at that!]

Yes. Friends who will draw you out of it when your thoughts tend to be dark are precious.

[givethemhell]

[Flayn is a blessing upon them all and if anyone kills her Wei Wuxian will personally lose his shit on the camp. This is his murder duckling now, unfortunately.]

I hope you have plenty of friends like that.

[It's the very least she deserves, honestly.]

[fishingforcompliments]

Of course I do. You just did that for me, did you not?

[They're friends! So there!]

[givethemhell]

[FRIENDS..... It still surprises him even like eleven damn weeks later that people still willingly call him their friend. Wild.]

Hah! Did I? I'm glad I could, then. Now - let me finish cooking this, and I'll give some to you to go with the tea. Later, if you don't want them now.

[Because LIFE IS QUEASY AFTER TRIAL but everyone's gotta eat.]

[fishingforcompliments]

[WWX PLEASE.]

I... really, I appreciate the gesture, but you do not have to...

[Just let her drink tea she doesn't need food it's fine. oh my god that physically pained me to write]

[givethemhell]

[STOP HE'S DOING HIS BEST. also that physically pained me to read i hate us]

When was the last time you've eaten something substantial?

[fishingforcompliments]

[checks what ic day it is




anyway she's quiet for a few moments as she thinks back.]

The night before last, I suppose.

[givethemhell]

[TERRIBLE MOOD. He's just giving Flayn a quiet look...]

...Like I said - you don't have to eat them now, but won't you please take them, at least?

[fishingforcompliments]

[She shifts her weight from one foot to another, looking a little uncomfortable under the force of that look. Dang it, why is it so easy to make her feel guilty?]

They may end up going to waste...

[His food deserves better than that! Honestly, she'd rather see them eaten while they're fresh by someone who could enjoy them.]

[givethemhell]

[Flayn's easy guilt... RIP in rest. He's quiet for a second, but eventually relents with a nod.]

How's this, then - I'll have leftovers since I'm making so much, and I always leave them in the fridge. You can help yourself to as many as you'd like if you change your mind.

[fishingforcompliments]

[Her lips twitch up into a very small smile at that. A compromise.]

Very well. Thank you for your generosity, Wei Wuxian.

[givethemhell]

No need to thank me, friend.

[A little quirk of a smile! It's the least he can do, after all.]

Just take care tonight, mm?

[fishingforcompliments]

...I will. I hope that you do the same.

[aki i swear to god flayn is going to be so upset if wwx ever dies.]
