[Video] Attempted Private to Castmates (Settings error: user must fix)

[ By all appearances, Wuxian looks as perky and cheerful as always. Maybe those who know him best would see past the smile to the sorrow and depression that's a constant companion. ]

So! Shijie, Jiang Cheng, and I are going to be shopping for our first dinner in the new house. It's coming up quick and she thought a nice dinner for everyone would be nice.

[ Yep, little brother, you have been voluntold to help get groceries. ]

If anyone has a special dish they want made, let one of us know.

I do not like to presume, Lady Jiang.

[She is too good - much like the man she married.]

No, I am not particular about food. [The Lan sect can be picky but he grew up in a brothel. You ate what was available and didn't complain.]

Are your brothers willing to see me? The last time we attempted a peaceful gathering, it was difficult.

[She smiles but it's a little sad.]

I'm not sure, but I want to try for peace. For all of us.

They see me, rightly, as a devil. I understand why they are protective of you.

Jin Ling told me that he gave a statement to Hanguang-Jun that I should ask for. I may later but for now? He loved you- loves you, he told me as much.

If my son can still love you, you deserve a chance from me.

Yes, you should know the truth. [Poor Jin Ling. Meng Yao bows his head, pained.] I love him. He has your kind heart, Lady Jiang.

That makes him and you weak to someone like myself. [He is making great strides in his therapy. One of his goals is to inform those around him of his abilities and his intentions.]

However I mean you no harm. I mean Jin Ling no harm.

[At least he's being honest?]

Perhaps so. [He's not wrong.]

I believe you in that, at least. And I appreciate you telling me. I'll speak with Hanguang-Jun later to see.

[There are snakes in the world, Yanli, and he is one of them.]

I will see you at a later date, Lady Jiang. I thank you for including me, but I do not wish to force anyone to feel uncomfortable.

[Some snakes can be good though.]

I'll bring you something, if Jiang Cheng doesn't argue it.

[Adorable grass snakes maybe, but Meng Yao is a cobra.]

I would like to taste your cooking.

[She'll learn someday.]

I'll make you a basket then.

I could find something as a treat for your little friends as well. What do they eat?

[Ferret babies do love their treats. Meng Yao gathers the fuzzy pair into his lap, playing tug of war with them.]

Thank you.

Cooked egg, chicken... Any meat, truly.

Will you say thank you to the kind lady?

[The two babies crawl on his arms instead, poking their noses against the feed.]

[They're so cute.]

I'll be sure to bring some cooked chicken for them then.

Take care, Meng Yao. I'll be by soon.

[Well, soonish. She still needs to go shopping with Wei Wuxian.]

Be safe, Lady Jiang. [He has plenty of distraction until his new children need to nap.] We will greet you when you visit.
