[IT'S ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL DAY IN THIS...... bus. Hopefully no one's getting too stinky yet and the toilet is still in working order even if the knives are fuckin gonezos. He personally is already tired and who even knows if he slept over the night! Probably not!! He's already looking a little rumpled when he moseys over toward wherever Nie Huaisang is, two glasses of water in hand. Is he just running wellness checks this morning? Yes, yes he is.
Just barely... I can't believe they didn't even provide us anywhere decent to sleep.
[he accepts the water with a grateful little nod, though. his hair's been braided, so that's no longer just a big loose mess! beyond that, though, he looks a little rumpled too, and he hates it. thanks.]
[Him out here caring about his appearance to a degree even now, damn. If it wasn't such a pain to go around with hair in his face, he'd just be looking like something that rolled out of the woods by now...]
Hm, I don't know about that. There's a little space under the bar that's quite comfortable, actually!
[He's joking but it's probably hard to tell, considering this is the man who lived in a cave for years.]
And we're all still in one piece, so that's wonderful news.
[HERE COMES WEI WUXIAN, A-KNOCKIN' ON NIE HUAISANG'S CABIN DOOR whether it's his actual cabin or Beau's cabin. He's paid enough attention to the comings and goings of people to have an idea of where most are staying, okay.]
Hello, hello! Are you in? It's me!
[If he's not here Wei Wuxian will just go hunt him down, but if he opens the door, he'll find him just standing there with a jar of honey in his hand.]
[he's in his own cabin! beau's has 5 people in it, he's not dealing with that. then again his has asch, so it's just between two inconveniences, really... hm. anyway, here he is.]
Anyway he hoists up his honey jar like it's Simba.]
Alcohol! [YEAH.] You wouldn't happen to remember how to make that honey mead, do you? I already have some fruit wine fermenting in the dirt, but I was just thinking about the mead earlier and how good it was.
[His priorities are, as always, completely in order.]
but he frowns thoughtfully, there, idly fanning himself. his fan has a small clay charm attached to it, with a symbol that definitely is not from home.]
I'm not sure I remember how to make it, but... we can try a few things?
With one of their jars of honey mead which has barely had time to start fermenting but you know what? Sometimes you just need to drink something to have something to drink. When and wherever he finds this squirrely bastard, he's starting by holding the jar out first.]
Haha, unless you'd want to risk asking one of our directors for something right now.
[A little quirk of a grin. He's still so damn mistrustful but LOOK. HE HAS REASON!! So he'll settle with this little jar of mead, which he helpfully holds out.]
[WHENEVER NIE HUAISANG'S DONE BULLYING YIN YU Wei Wuxian just bounces over from wherever the fuck it is he comes from, brandishing two jars in his little demon hands. Maybe they can be at the gardens, since he is a fancy flower boy.]
Nie Huaisang, guess what! They've reached a good state of fermentation, these two! Come, come - have a drink with me, would you?
[He's not taking no for an answer apparently since he's just shoving one jar his way immediately.]
[he takes the jar, though he seems like he was a little preoccupied before being interrupted...? it's fine. he shakes it quickly, gesturing for wei wuxian to sit with him.]
Sit with me, then, the view here really is lovely.
[IS IT FINE?? He tilts his head, but moves to flop down next to Nie Huaisang anyway, posture at ease. He glances out immediately after, surveying this lovely view.]
--Mm, you're not wrong about that! Though I do think the lake is better, even now.
[Even after all the wildass things that happened around that area before... Then, propping his chin up:]
he pauses at the question, though, fan tapping his chin. huaisang sort of wants to avoid mentioning it, but on the other hand, not complaining he's worried doesn't suit how he prefers to be seen...
so he finally sighs, brow knit.]
It's- well, it's a little hard not to be afraid, even if that man isn't here... it was the third week, when he tried to come after me. I really don't know what to do if it happens again-!
[SO. HAHA. Ha... Ah, life. Ain't it just wild? Wherever Nie Huaisang is, whenever Wei Wuxian finds him, he just. Walks over. Bumps into his side, just a little.]
I really did make soup with those vegetables, if you want any.
[He just huffs out a little laugh, and there's a bit of a strange edge to it. Sometimes even a seasoned mass murderer is thrown off by having to try hiding a kill for the first time ever...]
Come with me, then! We can find a good drink to share, too - and something sweet for after the soup.
anyway, nie huaisang is unsurprisingly in the clothing store! as if he wouldn't be checking this out. the color choices leave MUCH to be desired, so he doesn't seem too disappointed to have his attention pulled away.]
Very particular...?
[wei wuxian, you little shit. but he nods!]
If you insist, then I think I might be able to help.
[WELL. HE'S COMING TO VISIT NIE HUAISANG BECAUSE OF COURSE HE IS. They're unfortunate accomplices, partners in crime of a sort, and even though he's like why in the fck did that wild shit happen, he's. Still not happy to have seen this go down in the way it did. He wishes he could have done more, but with things stacked against Nie Huaisang as they were...
But he - doesn't comment about that, since he'd also planned on doing the same thing. That's why he's always so gotdam paranoid about powers!!]
It wasn't enough, in the end - but I think we all knew that early on.
[From the moment Natalie revealed what Jason's plan was. He doesn't say sorry in as many words, but his tone has a note of apology all the same. A beat, and then - not with anger so much as a morbid curiosity:]

Do you think we'll keep waking up in one piece? Or that we'll really be trapped here? I don't know what we'll do then, Wei-xiong, I really don't!

ANYWAY. Where is Nie Huaisang this fine morning?? Wei Wuxian's poking his head into whatever area he happens to be in, waving him over.]
I need your very particular sense of taste, friend!
[is he calling nhs a picky eater]

anyway, nie huaisang is unsurprisingly in the clothing store! as if he wouldn't be checking this out. the color choices leave MUCH to be desired, so he doesn't seem too disappointed to have his attention pulled away.]
Very particular...?
[wei wuxian, you little shit. but he nods!]
If you insist, then I think I might be able to help.
no subject
He grins, though! Bless his gremlin friend, who for some reason he can just continue to rely on for both the stupid and less stupid things in life.]
I do insist! Don't worry, I'll have you back here in no time. Come, come - let's go--
[STRAIGHT TO HELL because Nie Huaisang gets to experience this greatass memory the second Wei Wuxian reaches out to grab his sleeve.]
