I will tell him I love him.

Jiang Cheng will ask why you want to know, and you shouldn't lie!

[eternalgrief]

It is a deal then.

We'll see how it goes.

[inventive]

It's a deal!

Report back in oh... a few weeks?

[eternalgrief]

No no. Go talk to him now.

[inventive]

Now? That doesn't give me any time to prepare!

Are you going to talk to Jiang Cheng now?

[eternalgrief]

All the better and no time to back out.

Yes.

[inventive]

Going to go confess my undying love to Lan Zhan now.

[eternalgrief]

Tell me how it goes.

[inventive]

[ the next day ]

So. Uh. Things might have gone a bit unexpectedly.

[eternalgrief]

Is he good in bed?

[inventive]

The best but that's not the point. We eloped.

[eternalgrief]

YOU DID WHAT?

[inventive]

Eloped. You know, got married without family consent, in secret, kind of a hasty ceremony so we can say we're taken. We'd already made some of our bows together before, so we just had to complete them.

[eternalgrief]

Aren't you very glad I pushed you? Even though I am hurt there is no wedding.

[inventive]

I owe you for that. We'll have a banquet or something later. I want an excuse to make Lan Zhan wear red.

How did asking Jiang Cheng go?

[eternalgrief]

You owe me quite a bit indeed! And that is better than nothing of course. It must be lavish.

He left me on read.

[inventive]

You can host, if you'd like, the Lan sect has terrible banquets.

Talk to him in person. He's not gonna respond to a question like that over messages.

[eternalgrief]

I would be honored and certainly you can't let the Lan sect host it. I'll make sure there is plenty of wine flowing.

Maybe I should take the non-answer as a sign.

[inventive]

Nah, you just have to be persistent. He's not good with processing things like that. Ask in person.

[eternalgrief]

But in person he could throttle me.

[inventive]

His bark is worse than his bite, he won't throttle you. I bugged him all the time and he never throttled me that much!

[eternalgrief]

You never bothered him about something like this I'm sure! Men can be quite unreasonable about these things.

[inventive]

Uh huh and who told me to gain some courage and talk to Lan Zhan, who is also unreasonable?

Talk to him. Or I'll talk to him for you.

[eternalgrief]

No! You can't talk to him. They're also different kinds of unreasonable but fine...

I'll talk to him in person.

[inventive]

They're different but still unreasonable. Have you tried arguing with Lan Zhan?

Do it soon, so when I tell Jiang Cheng about eloping he's too distracted to yell at me.
