A belated requirement.

The proposal, due to a relative. Jiang Cheng will cannot refuse.



( Because this is already done, you see. )

[rumorate]

[She's still somewhat confused about who actually is getting proposed to here, but since they keep going in circles she'll just go along with it.]

Got it. As I said, just let me know where or when you need me somewhere for the ceremony(?) and I'll be there. Or do you just need my blessing?

( Excuse him a few minutes, this hurts to pen: )


dispensation for the marriage of the man formerly his first disciple.

He will haggle a bride price. Decline.

[rumorate]

[OH. She thinks it's finally clicked now.]

Got it. What's the bride and groom's name?

[downswing]

The groom contracts your service.

You intercede on his behalf to request Wei Wuxian.

[rumorate]

Got it. I'll reach out and let you know what he says.

What's the groom's name?

[downswing]

Lan Sizhui, right?

[downswing]

( ............give him the hour. Possibly, some pirate-brokered, smuggled tea. )


Wangji, clan Lan. Born Zhan.

You plead matrimony on his behalf.

[rumorate]

I'll do my best.

[Though it seems as though it's already done, so there's not much persuading to do.]

[downswing]

My gratitude.


( Heavens help this woman. )
