[HE LOVES THESE BUNS SO MUCH!!!!
But he also loves lounging and drinking especially after unpleasant events, so he'll just plop himself down in the beanbag, folding his legs up and watching their glass hat trick with mild curiosity.]
—If it's an offer, who am I to say no?
[He's already resigned himself to eventual death so why not just catch void rabies or whatever the hell they keep pulling off of the shit they summon from thin air.]

[He will enjoy this lap bunny while he can, and his attention seems largely centered on it. Sometimes you do your best to control your hellacious temper and you only just barely have a tenuous grasp on it after a wholeass week. Six weeks of demons with this on top has thrown him into a wild headspace, it's fine.]
Do you know the meaning of the flowers you've been picking, friend?

[Waving his free hand gently, careful not to disturb her majesty the queen bun.]
No need to waste your supplies on me. [A quirk of a smile.] I don't have suggestions either, really. Don't know what messages you're trying to convey, you know?

I wouldn't ask if it wasn't an offer. [and so they pull out a second glass. the hat is pretty much a void, it's impossible to see where anything's coming from, but with the two glasses in hand they pour from the bottle before handing wei wuxian a glass. the bun wiggles her nose at him, and seems to debate hopping from purple heart's lap and over to him.]
I hope you like it. [it's a sweeter wine, but it's a good one.] How can I help you today?

[He's used to pretty dry wines, so he looks a little surprised when he takes a sip. Pleasantly so, though, apparently!]
--Mm, it's good! Interesting. Haven't had a wine this sweet before, except for one made of fruit from the mountains that I had years ago.
[He sets the paper on his lap and extends his hand out toward Cinnabun though, trying to coax her over...]
Just let me borrow your company, if you'd be so kind. I have nothing in particular to say today. --Ah! Though I did bring you something.

The label was appealing so I thought I'd try it. I'm glad to hear it. [with that, they're taking a sip and cinnabun hops from their lap, shuffling across the floor and toward wei wuxian's hand.]
My time is yours, of course. Though...I'm curious. What did you bring? [what is this paper??]

[DELIGHTFUL. He immediately leans forward a little so he can pet her fluffy little head and stroke her soft ears.]
Too kind, too kind! I won't trouble you by taking too much of it. Here--
[He hands the folded paper over. When Purple Heart opens it A CURSE FLIES OUT.
Nah it's just an ink drawing. Wei Wuxian is a hilariously good artist, and while he doesn't have proper tools here, he's made his own ink with ash and done his best with the bamboo skewers to create a likeness of some of the more extravagant flowers in the garden.]
Since I don't have the wonderful ability to pull flowers from thin air, hah.

[It's... It sure is hanging out there, being the best garland it can be. He hums, propping his chin up with his palm.]
--Well! If you're not trying to say anything, only the color and size really matters, right? You could weave a few more here and here- [He points at some particularly sparse areas.] -if you wanted to make it look fuller.

I just wanted to talk, and say hello to your darling friend here.
[Patting the rabbit!]
Don't know how much time we'll have, so it's better not to waste any of it being sour, you know?
[He needed a week to get himself in check, but he's pretty tight with his self-control when he needs to be. Despite his temper, he really does prefer not having to hold grudges, so.]

[she's very pleased which is terrible, and purple heart looks amused more than anything. ALSO A CURSE SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED but alas, it's just a drawing? it's a drawing and purple heart pauses to take a look at it, seemingly studying it very carefully.]
...this is really good. I didn't know you were much of an artist. These look almost better than the ones in Shadows' garden. [it isn't much, but they seem very pleased.]

[the blue bunny wiggles its nose at him before leading him down the hall, to the room marked as 3B ❄️. the door will zip inside, allowing wwx to enter what appears to be an office. there he will find winter wizard seated at the desk, drinking soda while writing something down on a notebook. they stop once they notice him.]
Hey! Take a seat.
[they gesture at the chairs on the other side of the desk, and then scoop their bunny up to dump it in their lap.]

[He grins a little, flopping this bun's ear a tiny bit.]
I'll be moving forward on the assumption that this really is all out of your control, for now.
[For everyone's sake including his own, honestly. He will be Disappointed But Not Surprised if things turn out to be different, but it's easier to save his intense levels of disdain and fury for other things for the time being.]
So, you know. [A little shrug.] It is how it is.

[IF HE HAD A CURSE TO THROW AT THEM HE MIGHT JUST FOR FUNSIES but alas... The most he could have done is trapped Purple Heart in a kooshball prison.
He looks pretty amused at that, though.]
Hah! I'll have you know I was considered a master of the six arts and one of the top four gentlemen in the country once!
[Then he became a cave-dwelling necromancer, very funny.]
Glad you like it, though.

That's kind of surprising considering you regularly stock snacks in your sleeves. [haha. but they hold the drawing gently and continue admiring its detail.]
But yeah. I really do. I'm not great with art or anything so...it's cool to see what other people can create.

[Over to the seat he moseys! He'll place the plate carefully on the desk.]
Here - if you haven't eaten yet.
[If they even eat??? Man he doesn't know how these weird nondescript mouths and voidmouths and no-mouths work, but he figures he'd at least offer.]

We'll be relying on you, then.
[Maybe. Kinda. He hums out a little curious-sounding note, shifting a little to face Black Shadows more fully.]
Need help weaving?

Someone else said something almost exactly like that to me, once.
[HIS SELF ESTEEM!!! If it existed it would be so hurt right now... He hums a little at that though, and takes a Hearty Sip of his wine.]
After I get more paper, you should let me draw you! I haven't drawn anyone since-- Ah, since Lan Zhan, I think? Hah - it's been a long time. The years do get away from you!

[Sometimes you just learn these things when you have a benevolent older sister and a little brother that you like showering with gifts.]
Not used to working with flowers this small, to be honest. We'd make things with the lotuses in our lakes, which were much, much bigger, so I don't know how well I'll manage.
