Since A-Xuan has asked for help, I think perhaps it is my turn.

I'm afraid I might need some help in finding something suitable to wear for our wedding. My dress was made for me before we arrived here, and the styles of this world are very different from what I'm accustomed to.

I would only ask that any help offered, we look for red dresses as it invites good luck, happiness, and prosperity. And I wouldn't ask anything besides help finding one.

Allow me to handle it and any meals or expenses that might be necessary. As thanks.

[He has started to send her a message several times and each time he has stopped and put the device down. Almost afraid that it's a lie and that she isn't really there, or that their last moments together were somehow revealed. But he knows that she hasn't experienced that yet. hasn't even experienced her own wedding. But still he had hesitated.

His heart is full knowing she is here and alive and when he sees this and she is asking for help picking out a wedding dress it just fills him with so much joy he can barely stand it. So of course he is going to answer.]

Your other dress was beautiful, Shijie. But I think no matter what you pick, you'll be the most beautiful bride.

A-Xian!

[When he'd disappeared, when she'd received the house in De Chima and money from him, it had broken her heart. She still didn't know what to do with any of it, besides help pay bills in the house and now the dress.]

I missed you. You'll be coming, of course?

[Her gaze just says 'please?']

[The way she says her name. The familiarity of it and the sweetness. It makes him want to cry tears of joy and run to wherever she is and hug her. He has missed her so much and somehow he smile gets even wider.]

Of course I am! I wouldn't miss it.

[Not again. never again. He won't miss a single thing if he can help it.]

I want to throw you the biggest most amazing wedding.

[Nothing can, or ever will, erase her love for him. If hadn't when she had been about to die, pulled back by the Porter just in time, and nothing anyone has said or done here has changed that.]

Good! I want everyone there, if they can be. Friends as well, if they want to come.

[She can't help but laugh softly.] It doesn't have to be big. I just want everyone I care about with me. Nothing would make me happier.

[He is going to make sure nothing ever hurts her ever again. That day still haunts his dreams even now. And the regret he feels could fill an ocean.]

If you need any help with any of it, You know you can count on me. There isn't anything keeping me away this time.

[He would have come last time if just showing his face wouldn't have caused a complete uproar and ruined the day.]

I would come and drag you this time, if I had to. And if Jiang Cheng were here, no matter what anger is between you, I know that he would help me.

[Between the two of them, Yanli is the most protected cultivator here. Add in anyone else from their world that's met her, and apparently she's untouchable.]

[She deserves all the protection across all the worlds. He can't take it anymore. He needs to be in the same space as her.]

Are you busy, Shijie? Can we meet up?

I'm never too busy for you. Do you want me to come find you? Or would you like to come to the house in Jeopardy?

[She won't be letting him go for a little while. And should talk to him about what he'd left her last time he was here.]

I can come to Jeopardy. I am out anyway. I'd like to see where you live.

[He has his own house with roommates. It's a little strange not being near anyone from his world but in a way it's been a good introduction to the people of this place.]

I can't wait. You can meet the bunnies then, you got them last time you were here. And Hua and Hui, they love in the library.

[She'll even get some treats ready for all the animals, in case he wants to treat them.]

[He tries to stifle a laugh behind his hand. Of course..rabbits..why does this not surprise him? He's going to blame Lan Wangji for that one if the man ever comes back.]

I look forward to it. I'm already on my way! You can show me around and introduce me to all of them.

[Oh, she''ll be tempted to burst that bubble but it's cute either way.]

I'll make sure the door is unlocked for you and have some stew ready. I'm sure the trip will leave you hungry.

[There might be a small stumble in his step as he realizes she is going to cook for him. A lump forms in his throat as he thinks about how long it has been since he last had her cooking. He will not cry..he will not cry..at least not until this call ends.]

I look forward to enjoying Shijie's cooking again!

I shalt be happy to offer any assistance thou desire, I hath made aquaintence of a fair few shops and those who alter clothing in my time here.

Really?

That's wonderful! I would appreciate any help you or your friends can provide. I'm afraid I didn't have to do terribly much when we first married.

Tis a now fortunate consequence of being taller than most here.

Hath thou any ideas for what thou desire, or art thou still seeking a starting point for such? I know that there are televised programs about brides chosing their gowns as well as myriad of books with photographs for a foundation of the shape that thou desire.

Twould also not be too difficult to find something akin to what thine homeland would offer thee. The... sole benefit of being an ImPort may be the local's willingness to attempt a great manner of things upon request.

If ever you need more help, I can make and mend clothing. Nothing so complicated as a wedding dress though, unfortunately.

[Despite her love for Yanli, Madam Jin might have killed her if she tried.]

I had thought something that flows? I'm from the Yunmeng Jiang Sect, Lotus Pier is surrounded by water and lotus flowers, something that flows easily like water might be fitting, I think.

I... if thou would consent to giving lessons I should like to learn such an art.

There is a style of gown where the skirt spreads in to a pool of fabric even whilst thou stand, the amount of fabric being a matter of thine choice and budget.

I'd be glad to. I'm not sure it counts as thanks enough for your help in this but it is a good start.

[At least it won't be so expensive as hand-dyed fabric from home?]

My brother left me a fair sum of money when he left, it should be more than enough. I suppose I'll have to see what kind of fabric would be best though, I'm not sure what else I might choose but soft silks?

Hi. I'm Lacey. I could help you look. Do you have any other needs beside the red colour? Like length, sleeves, neckline?

A pleasure, Lacey. My name is Yanli.

[Good questions, she hadn't fully thought about the styles until asked.]

I had thought of something long, that flows a bit? And I thought to wear gold jewelry, for the Jin sect.

Nice to meet you too. That sounds stunning. Very regal. I'm sure we can find something perfect.

[It is hard for her to admit when she doesn't something, but sometimes she has to.]

I'm not familiar with the Jin sect.

That's alright. The Jin Sect is a cultivational sect in my, ah, world.

[It's still strange to say.] Each sect has an associated color they wear. Mine, Jiang, wears purple. Jin sect wears gold.

Like a religion? [Back in her home town, cultivational usually referred to farming.]

Maybe you could look for a way to add in a little purple too. Like a bit of amethyst jewelry. Jewel tones and gold are a good combo.

Not exactly. Cultivators are those who use the spiritual power that we store in our Golden Cores to slay demons or combat malicious spirits. Or to purify an area and protect it from foul energy.

[She hadn't really thought of that. Her clothes, after moving into Carp Tower, had bits of both sects honored in the color but she hadn't considered it for the wedding.]

That's a wonderful idea. I'll have to shop for some earrings, I haven't gotten much of anything new since I arrived. [Mostly clothes.]

Oh. [That doesn't help her confusion. Lacey realizes they must be from different worlds. Golden core sounds more like an apple than anything else.] I've heard of using crystals to protect and purify. I don't know if they stored anything. I guess that's different, eh?

Oh, yes. I love earrings. [She practically had a new pair every week back home.] I know just the right stores to get you an import discount.

I do not know anything about the styles, but I will take you shopping for everything else you need. I have found a list.

It sounds like you need a lot.

A list!

[There's that much? She should know this, really, having gotten married once. But Guangyao had handled most, if not all, of the details. And it had resulted in a stunningly beautiful ceremony.]

Thank you, I would be so glad for your help. And you'll be coming to the wedding as well, of course?

If I am invited, of course I will!

[Honestly, he would crash it if he was not, but he figures if he lives with her...]

And you will need a veil and shoes and everything else. Who is going to do your hair! This is why you need a list.

[The internet has lots of opinions and Jingyi is zero percent discerning about which ones are actually helpful.]

Of course you are! I wouldn't have it any other way and I'm sure Zixuan would agree.

[He's getting far more wrapped up in this than she expected and it's so endearing.]

I had thought to pin my hair up in a few braids, really.

Ah, good! I will come and cry and everything. It will be great.

But I do not know anything about braids. [He says this very seriously.] I would have to learn how to braid hair. You might have to find someone else who already knows. Especially if you are going to have something else go in your hair.

Please don't worry yourself over so much of it. Even if some details fall short, I only care that those I care about are there and that I can marry Zixuan. That's all I need for it to truly be a happy day.

I guess...[He trails off, thinking.] If you are married at the end of the wedding, then it was a successful wedding.

But you should still have a lot of food there. I think that is a requirement.

If you have a design of something you would like, I should be able to create it for you. As long as you don't mind synthetic materials, that is. I have made clothing for my friends before. Though, I will admit, nothing so complex as a wedding gown.

[Hello new favorite person who is probably about to make a lot of money.]

I don't have one yet but I could try to make something for you. My brother is an exceptional artist, so I'm sure he'd be willing to help.

Oh, your brother is here and your fiancé? How wonderful! It is always easier when we have the support of people from home who we care about.

[ Momo is lucky to have her classmates and teachers here, but she does miss her parents. ]
