Senior Wei had yet to bear your age when he was first hand-fasted.

[paperbutterflies]

[ He absolutely hadn't despaired! He just wanted to know if his father wanted to tell him or apprise him of the fact and not explain, Sizhui is fine with either!

This makes him blink slightly.

Wounded... senior Wei's dignity... and hand-fasting is related? ]

He did not wish it?

makes this worse

[downswing]

He did not agree the deed done.

but of course. Poor Wangji

[ ... give him a moment to consider this. The connection stays alive but it takes a moment before there is any text back.

But Sizhui.. considers how senior Wei is, and how he is with Hanguang-jun. This is complicated, isn't it? And senior Wei never acted as though he has been forced into something... well, beyond their return to the Cloud Recesses, but that was, reall short-lived, and he did not object to returning after. ]

He did not understand it then?




Would he agree now?

[downswing]

He is guilt-bound. Ignorant of his own welfare.

Bide him time.

[paperbutterflies]

As you say, Hanguang-jun. And what is it you need?

[downswing]

Only that you do not startle, if he speaks of it.

[paperbutterflies]

I will not startle, then.

[ This part is easy. ]

[downswing]

I have burdened you.
