[fennu]

He loves like her too. Intensely.

[desultorily]

...so. You've been loved well, then. For sixteen years.

That's good. That's really good.

[fennu]

I didn't say that he loved me like she did, Wei Wuxian.

[desultorily]

No one loves like she did. As if the sun could envelop you, and keep you warm forever.

[fennu]

It was just in her nature. She was like the sun.

[desultorily]

...there are some conversations not meant for dry mouths.

[fennu]

I'm not getting drunk with you, Wei Wuxian.

[desultorily]

All the better. You can fill my cups instead, like a courtesan.

[fennu]

As if I would. Fill your own cup!

[desultorily]

Don't be miserly. We're making our peace.

[fennu]

Then you should be pouring MY drinks.

[desultorily]

Aren't I older? Shouldn't you be honouring my dusting bones?

[fennu]

I'm older than you now, Wei Wuxian.

[desultorily]

Now add the lifespan of every spirit that weighs my shoulders. I'm eight centuries, if I am one day.

[fennu]

I'm talking real years.

[desultorily]

Ah. So you can all tally my death, but me? Be fair. It's mine.

[fennu]

I'm tallying your life, idiot.

[desultorily]

Ah. Then, humbly, I'm but a child in your care. Sect leader Jiang, teach me well.

[fennu]

Oh, I'll teach you alright.

[desultorily]

Jiang Cheng, you have a way about you. A man can't tell if you're pledging hurts or comfort.

[fennu]

You're just going to have to figure it out.

[desultorily]

I don't suppose eight peanuts and half of a chestnut, overbaked, can persuade you to speak your mind freely.

[fennu]

It would have to be at least nine.

[desultorily]

Deal! Done. Agreed. Bartered and sold.

Payment first, sect leader.

[fennu]

Prove to me you're worth the goods and I will come.
