Well. You did it! Your pendants are yours to keep and you're able to reach out to anyone with a matching necklace. Maybe it's time to say hi? Or, you know...sometimes misfires happen.
[oh, perfect- thanks to their adventure he probably has a face to put to that name!
wait, that's the girl she kissed.
hm.]
Ah- I'm... unfairly busy, honestly. I've taken charge of a ceremony we need to hold, and there are a number of arrangements to make first, but if I look at any more of them I'm really going to fall asleep-!
[ look sometimes you gotta kiss a fake girl because you think you're going to die ]
Ugh, sounds fucking boring. [ beau says, flopping out on the bed. ] Don't look at more of them and talk to me instead. You sound okay, though, you're okay?
There are vacancies within the Sects that now need to be filled-- I expect young master Jin will be Sect Leader before much time has passed, though I don't doubt some will argue against it. The Chief Cultivator's replacement is less certain.
[he exhales a little sigh, there.]
Those suited to the job are least likely to desire it, and those with the greatest desire for it likely shouldn't have it.
I'm good. We're all doing good, we - a lot of shit happened. We just got back from Rexxentrum. We're gonna hang out here a day or two before we head out on our ship to monitor the peace talks.
[ sigh. ] We gotta go to this party first, though. Jester's fucking thrilled but it's gonna be a big political thing that I don't wanna deal with.
If you need any help with the more political side of things there, though, let me know. Maybe I could assist you through this, if you can explain the situation.
[ ah, she's. just remembered the fight with the house and the coffin, and now she feels like she put her whole entire foot in her mouth. hm.
but he scoots past it, and she takes that opportunity. ]
... Sure, yeah. I don't know how much politics we're gonna have to do, but. Maybe I can have you listen in on the pendant. See if you catch shit I missed.

[that comes after a slight pause.]
My business is more or less concluded. There are pieces to clean up, though, and more to do before it's truly over.
no subject
You can talk to me about it. [ maybe she's prodding a little. she wants him to be okay. ]
there's spoilers in here now

... I should be done soon, babe. I'll come help as soon as I can. [ a beat. ] Is there anybody that's at the top of the running?
no subject
[and then, with a faint little huff of a laugh:]
I don't know, I've considered stepping into it myself.
no subject
I'd still help. Whatever you pick.
no subject
[his tone's warm, there. fond.]
But I suppose we'll see. I'm working at improving my reputation again, now, but it may or may not be enough.
no subject
The rest of it will fall into place eventually.

[he sounds so pleased at that, he'd love to let beau fight some shit for him.]
It's as I said: I'll be fine. And yourself? It sounded like you're still in good company, at least.

[a dramatic sigh. A POLITICAL PARTY IS HIS ELEMENT.]
no subject
I'd say we could trade, but I don't know the first fucking thing about coffin-sealing. Just by the name I think I'd prefer it over a party.
no subject
[but he is- moving right on from that, actually!]
