[WEI WUXIAN WILL just get down on the floor with him too, bringing along a bottle of seltzer. He digs into his fannypack to extract some peanuts he'd stuffed in there from the pantry earlier, too, and offers a handful out to Anaido.]
Thank you, thank you! I do pride myself on my good bartending work. It helps that I had a lot of practice, you know? Haha, after every trial I'd make as many as I could.
[He stares at the peanuts before taking them, not even bothering to get up. Let him just Rest.]
You practiced after trials, huh? Well, I guess it's something to do. [He chuckles, before munching down on the peanuts.] I didn't even get through any trials, myself.
[Absolutely hate how much Wei Wuxian is going to love this rave crab... AS SOUR AS HIS OPINION GOT he doesn't see it as a reason to not be cordial or friendly - that'll come the second anyone decides to murder any of his thotty comrades. For now, he's just moseying over when he sees Anaido dancing and just
kinda
pauses when he sees the small crab.]
—Ah? [Hm??] ...Can't say I've ever seen a crab that knows how to do anything other than get eaten and pinch your nose if you get too close!
[Anaido, absolutely clueless that WWX was part of the sex demon crew, warmly grins at the other man, even moving up him to grab his hands and pull him towards the crab.]
[SOMETIMES PEOPLE DIE. Sometimes people do want to play sports. Wei Wuxian is not one of them, but he is also not about to begrudge Anaido his very bizarrely timed... this.]
Well, we all expected it, at least. To be honest, I don't know what the point was with the whole- [GESTURES VAGUELY.] -pretending otherwise thing? Very tedious, and all we're left with is disappointment.
[So that trial sure happened huh, bad times for everyone, very bad! That execution was also....... there. Hm.
Well, Wei Wuxian is just going to refocus his energy elsewhere, haha!! Coping. Anaido is one of the first he seeks out, because he is a necromancer and he is strongly fond of zombies. Also because he's seen people die and come back on the boat and they came back weird and also claimed by demons, so he has a precedent for the concern, here.]
Dear friend, do you have some time to spare? I'd like to see if you're still doing alright today, after your brush with death.
[He's a little more subdued than usual, perhaps because Anaido himself seems to be having a Time after that.]
Edited (imagine if this was day 1) 2020-06-21 20:15 (UTC)
[Well, maybe things will get better? Who knows. Anaido's fine with death, his death, but all of this is something that weighs a man down. He can be found by the lake, leaning against a tree as he stares out at its horizon.]
[When he notices Wei Wuxian approaching, he turns, offering him a light smile.]
I have all the time in the world. [And he laughs at that statement - brush with death, huh.] And you say that like my death is the greatest of my concerns. It's fine.
[He laughs a little in turn, kneeling next to Anaido where he rests against the tree.]
Mm, I didn't get the feeling you'd be much concerned about it. [Given his VERY BOISTEROUS RETURN.] But we've had trouble in the past on our boat with people dying in the middle of things and then coming back, you see? Best to err on the side of caution, just in case.
[Not that he managed to pick up on the brand when he checked Chuuya, Nathan, Polly or Carlos either, but, y'know. Best not to assume and risk missing something obvious.]
[WHENEVER THIS IS, Wei Wuxian is just sprawled out somewhere in the gardens. Just flat on his back. He's looking up at the sky overhead, twirling a flower between his fingers and humming an aimless, drifting tune to himself. He seems pretty content, all things considered?? He likes the gardens almost as much as the farm and lake, okay.
ANYWAY, when he spots Anaido, he grins and waves the flower his way.]
Afternoon, friend! [He says, regardless of what time it actually is because time isn't real when you're Wei Wuxian.] Come to enjoy the flowers, too?
[He actually hasn't been over here, yet. Anaido wanders to it, curious - and he sees a familiar gremlin already in it. He blinks at him with some surprise.]
[Wei Wuxian is in here!! He's sitting at the tiny table by the drop-off box, tapping his fingers against the macaroni noodles.]
--Ah, hello, friend. [Gesturing him on in, there's plenty of room in crafts hell.] I didn't have a chance to look around this place before trial, so I wanted to take a peek, see what's in here.
[WELL THAT HAPPENED. Wei Wuxian, liking literally everyone who died last night, just sits in quiet contemplation in the arts and crafts cabin yet again. The paper he uses to make his cranes can know his upset feelios and NO ONE ELSE...
That said, when Anaido moseys in or even just by the door, he's immediately piping up with:]
Ah - friend! Is there anything I can get you? Water? Have you eaten yet today?
[Hey, Wei Wuxian. You might find your local brilliant detective chilling by the fire in his wheelchair, giving it a distant, morose look. Which would be alright to see, except what's strange is that he's dressed in layers upon layers of clothes. He looks. Very stupid.]
[If he notices Wei Wuxian approach, he doesn't turn his head. He just says, quietly:]
[WELL!! He's probably dragged Anaido out to the lake because it's still one of his favorite places, and also probably blessedly free of the noise of their remaining group. He is Tired. They are all tired. Sometimes, you just want a nap.
He starfishes out onto the sand once they get their, brokeass leg and all.]
It feels like we're having two halves of different conversations when we talk sometimes, you know.
[Anaido is definitely here, and he loves the lake too - his little bat wings fold behind his t-shirt as he sits down next to Wei Wuxian, smiling pleasantly out at the water.]
Of course we are. You're only talking to half of the puzzle, you know.
[WEED NING IS DEAD AND ALL THEIR JOY DIED WITH HIM.
In other words, Wei Wuxian will look for Anaido sooner or later, since he knows that Wen Ning's death will hit him particularly hard. ...Presumed death. Possible possession? Hell if he knows.
He's quiet in his approach though, and then:] Ready for tomorrow?
[He's...subdued, but there's a glint in his yellow eyes. He's bent over the snow, writing numbers in lines in the snow. Just random numbers. He seems entirely focused on it, though he murmurs under his breath.]
DAY 0 SHOTS EVERYBODY
You sure are a great bartender, Wuxian!
[He finger-guns from where he's laying on the floor. This is stupid.]
i love this im in tears

no subject
[Wei Wuxian looks like he's in a good mood - it fits the day, really. A beautiful day, in a garden filled with flowers.]
[Anaido waves to him before approaching. He almost seems a bit...timid? Almost bashful, somehow. Huh.]
Hello, Wei Wuxian. I actually wanted to come ask you something, if you don't mind.
no subject
He blinks, openly curious, and props himself up so he's like, half-sitting instead of fully flopped over.]
I don't mind! What is it? Come, come - have a seat. [Patting the spot beside himself!]
