[after feeding the blue bunny, it zips off past the receptionist desk and down to the door marked as 3A CONFERENCE ROOM. granting wwx access to the hallway temporarily. the door swings open for the bunny and as wwx approaches he'll find a relatively cozy space. a couch pushed against one wall, a whiteboard on the wall opposite to the door, and a low circular table with beanbag chairs set around it. there is a water cooler and snack shelf in one corner of the room, and decorative plants can be found here and there.
wwx will spot winter sitting up on a beanbag chair that has been dragged over to the corner with the cooler and snacks, their knees drawn up as they swish the contents of a paper cup around. they look up as the blue bunny hops over to their side, reaching out with one hand to pet the bunny.]
[He'll just follow after the rabbit and plop himself down on the floor a fairish distance away from the beanbag chair, apparently content to just sit here while chatting. He doesn't want to stand but he doesn't want to get too close either, in case they need Some Space after their rock party.]
—Just wanted to see how you were holding up after that. First blood, I'm assuming. [A beat. An obvious but unsaid "if you aren't lying" precedes what he says next, though there's a genuine sentiment to it.] Cruel mechanics. You were the one who told Evan you weren't planning on doing anything today, I take it?
[IT DOES MATTER WHEN YOU'RE PARANOID AND ONE OF THE QUESTIONS IS "FIRST BLOOD??" Wei Wuxian Will Remember This.
He just hums a little, though.]
No one could have seen things turning out like this. [Probably.] --For what little good it might do, I doubt you'll have to go through that again. Dick thinks it was just a show of power and I'd say he's probably right.
It'll spare you from having to bash someone's face in if you're ever called to it a second time. Doubt that you will be, as I said, but it's better to be overprepared.
Sure... [bunnies are a safe and trauma free topic.] You can tell me about yourself, too. If you want, that is. This is the first time we've talked like this, isn't it?
Not everything. I know a couple of things, but it's, like... reading an encyclopedia, I guess? No feelings, just a lot of info I didn't really want to know in the first place. It's creepy.
None taken! I don't like them, actually. [Hm.] But we were working with very tainted soil and they're hardy enough to grow there, when not much else was.
[It sure would... He just looks amused though, for the most part.]
There are plenty of foods I like! Sweet ice from Caiyi Town, chili dishes, pork rib and lotus root soup... I'm a fan of spicy, greasy things, hah. What about you?
Not a big fan of spicy food, myself... But aren't greasy things amazing? If we're talking about favorites, though, I like spaghetti... and licorice. Have you tried either one?
Ah, it seems not many people are! [No, not many people are a fan of food as spicy as Wei Wuxian prefers it, god.] But you're right about that, hah. Is there anything better than some greasy, grilled meat?
[He's been talking about bacon so much today what the heck is in the AIR. But he pauses to think about that.]
Mm... I've heard of spaghetti, but I haven't tried it. What's licorice?

Oh... Um, Wei Wuxian... Hi.

...Yeah.
[which part are they agreeing with? it might not matter. their voice is a little hoarse when they reply.]
We didn't want to enforce anything, but... [...] I guess that came back to bite us in the ass, huh? I'm such an idiot.

[they trail off, sucking in a breath.]
He didn't deserve to go out like that-- or at all. He didn't do anything wrong.
no subject
[THERE NEEDS TO BE INTENTION. THE POWERS THAT BE ARE AWFUL. Anyway, after a beat:]
Like I said, I doubt you'll have to go through it again. But if you do, aiming for the temple is a faster way to get it done.
[So they don't, like. Turn a face into mush again.]
no subject
they sort of bury their face in their knees.]
Please don't give me advice on how to murder more efficiently.

Noted. [they sound a bit queasy.] No offense, but... can we talk about something else?
no subject
What do you want to talk about, then? Your cute little rabbit?
no subject
no subject
Hm - it is, it is! But don't you already know most things about us? I probably couldn't tell you anything that you don't already know, haha.

Mhm. We're connected to this place, so as soon as you showed up...
no subject
[That's sure one way to put it...]
Hm, hm... Well, then! I'm good at farming radishes? Not half-bad with potatoes, too.
no subject
[a hum.]
No offense, but what do you like about radishes?
no subject
None taken! I don't like them, actually. [Hm.] But we were working with very tainted soil and they're hardy enough to grow there, when not much else was.
no subject
[hm.]
I guess... that would do it. Is there any food you like, then?

[hunger is in the air, that's what. they pause, there.]
It's, um... A type of candy? [hm.] Have you ever had anise? It tastes something like that.
no subject
[wwx running up to sanji like TEACH ME HOW TO SPAGET
Also, anise does indeed exist in ancient fantasy china but it's mostly used in medicines, so he looks pretty curious about that.]
A candy made from anise? Does it have any health benefits?
no subject
[so... guess who does all the cooking at the mess hall?]
Oh, no. It's not made from anise. But it sort of tastes like it? It's weird.
