[He knows Beau only so well, 3 weeks in, but he feels at least somewhat confident there. As for the thanks, he just laughs and gently waves a hand.]
Think nothing of it. It's far more of a burden for you to keep it hidden than it is for me to not know, you know? No one needs to be put through more risk than necessary.
Yeah, well, I mean... I'm not the one that has to kill or be killed right now. In terms of burdens, you won, dude. If you wanted to shake us down for answers, I wouldn't blame you.
[He just laughs at that, bright and clear, and waves a hand like it isn't a big deal. IT'S FINE. It's all fine!! He is balancing constantly on the edge of a blade and he is fine.]
Hah, well! Not unexpected, at least. I don't think anyone was surprised, despite your insistence that things would be different. I'm expecting things to go terribly! But hopefully the ending will be better.
The thing is, maybe it could have been different if we— I don't know. Maybe Tsurumaru would have been more careful if we told you guys what could happen, and we wouldn't be here.
Mm? Ah? You don't think it was set up so we'd fail from the start? If it wasn't Tsurumaru, I'm almost entirely sure it would have been someone else. [He sounds genuinely curious about that... BUT ALSO--]
--Wasn't it that you couldn't tell us what could happen? If you could, then that was a poor choice, certainly. [Fuckin rude.] But it's not like anything can be done about it now.
... Not exactly. [a light shrug, tired.] We thought it would be safer to keep that information to ourselves, Wei Wuxian. Most of you are strangers to us, and we thought... Well, we couldn't guarantee someone wouldn't use that knowledge for evil. It wouldn't have been the first time someone learned how to screw everyone else over, and did it anyway because they enjoy being a total douchebag.
--Well, I can't blame you for that. [He rolls his shoulders in a light little shrug. He really can't disagree with that at all...]
Shame things ended up this way and knowing how at least two of you are, you're going to blame yourselves regardless, but. I really do doubt there was anything that could have been done to get through this without triggering the game.

[Sometimes everyone wants you dead and then you die, it's fine.]
And I know by now that forcing answers isn't how to win one of these "games", assuming it's something that can actually be won.

Yeah, you... You had a pretty bad experience, huh. I wish this one could be better. But it isn't.

[trailing off, they shake their head. your three npcs have one thing in common, wwx.]
Well, it's whatever. Talking about it now won't change anything, so why don't we talk about something nicer?
no subject
Mm, that's fine. Tell me the places you'd like to see most in camp, if you could choose any location to appear!
[but we can handwave the rest of their rambling since we have a new thread anyway and u can be free of some old ones yeehaw]
