[I'M STILL NOT ENTIRELY SURE WHAT'S HAPPENING AT ANY TIME, EVER but at some point during the week, Lan Wangji will be sending along a letter via Xie Lian!! Enclosed will be the note from Lan Wangji, along with a neatly folded advertisement for Wu Ming, although the paper itself is crinkled, as if it was torn off of something. Also at some point Okuni might show up??? idk. ANYWAY, the note just says:]
I seek your assistance. I wish to help.
If you are amenable, you know how to reach me.
[The letter is simply stamped with the same butterfly pattern that's embroidered on Lan Wangji's forehead ribbon in this world.]
[ YOU KNOW WHAT, IT'S FINE, WE IN THIS we definitely in this. Hua Cheng is always happy to see Xie Lian - especially since he's started to come visit him at Wu Ming? - and is fond of Lan Wangji, so having a sort of combination of the two is good. Potential for Okuni? Superb.
Though, he does raise an eyebrow at the note and the advertisement combined. Yes, he painted this one himself, what is this, he thinks absently, as he smooths out some of the crinkles. ]
Who am I to deny such a polite request from Wangji, especially when gege is the one to deliver it?
[ xie lian shakes his head!! it was simply a letter to deliver.
he looks at hua cheng with an almost imploring impression, clearly worried about the state of the town (and his friend.) he's pretty sure san lang won't say no. (....especially if it's him asking, like he said? which is a weird thing to unpack never.) ] You'll help him, right? It must be about the Maou. Would you like me to deliver a message back? I'd be happy to play courier.
[ With a low hum, Hua Cheng shakes his head in return and lightly steps around Xie Lian. As he goes, he folds the flyer over and over, an absent, mindless thing as he devotes his thoughts to other matters. The Maou... he can't help his quiet chuckle. ]
No, gege, that's fine. Shall we go pay him a visit? [ He turns to face him, holding out his hand like he's about to offer him something. ] I would like to hear what it is that I can do for Wangji.
I think that's an excellent idea. [ xie lian follows him with his eyes, then turns fully when the hand comes to him. he can't help but smile, and easily steps forward to place his hand in his. (not a very common gesture for the daozhang xie, who gets even more flustered than the xie lian of present, but he's got a whole world's worth of experience under his belt, and holding san lang's hand and letting him guide him makes him really happy.) ]
We have to find them before anything bad can happen. I think if we move quickly and work together, it'll be easy.
[ There's a moment where Hua Cheng's very much beating heart, in this world, skips a beat. Xie Lian has taken his arm on more than one occasion - because this fox is nothing if not a gentleman - but it's never been something like this, Xie Lian's worn hand folded in his. He immediately curls his long fingers around it, drawing him closer because he can't help himself. Something warm and pleased crinkles the corners of his smile, causes his eye to fold into a crescent. ]
Of course. There's nothing at all that we couldn't solve together.
Mmn. I agree. [ xie lian's response is immediate, too, and he allows himself to be pulled in that much closer, almost like a dance, feeling joyful. he has no idea that hua cheng was actually trying to give him something so this is perfectly fine.
look at him with his smile, practically twinkling. xie lian's so glad he's here. ] Then, we'll deliver this back to Lan Wangji! We should hurry, before it gets too late.

[ NPC Yin Yu, send word to the Lans! ]
Did he tell you anything of interest, gege?
