Kazoo 16 - Video Post

[The video opens with a very somber-looking WangJi. Even more so than he normally looked for those who were actually able to tell. Even from the angle of the video, a very obvious pair of white ears from a rabbit kept bouncing into frame for a moment as WangJi made the post while holding Little Radish]

For those that knew him, Wei Ying... my husband... is no longer on the train. There are others still here, but he has departed the train.

[It was as simple as that.

For those that wish to find him, he can - predictably - be found in the Greenhouse with his two rabbits, Little Radish now snuggled in his arms and being a good comfort bunny while Little Carrot played with a random leaf that had been on the ground]

[Wen Ning is more worried about them somehow ending up in a stew pot, but then maybe that isn't a concern on this train. No matter whether or not people enjoy what's on the menu at any given time, they probably aren't likely to steal someone's pets to make dinner.]

I-I mean, if you want to bring them and you're sure it's safe...!

You should bring them if you want. I'm sorry. They're probably a comforting presence.

[No one was going to put them in a stew when WangJi was there. He never let them be alone in the kitchen... or anywhere on the ship aside from his cabin and the greenhouse]

I will bring Little Radish. He is well-behaved. I will be there shortly.

Okay!

[Sizhui had told Wen Ning about the cutely named rabbits but it's completely different hearing the names out of Lan Wangji's mouth. It's so strange and endearing.]

I-I'll meet you.

[Yep, rabbits with cute names given by Sizhui. Of course, WangJi was going to keep calling them that. Radish and Carrot were the perfect names for them]

I will be there shortly.

[It didn't take long for him to get there though he had had to catch Little Carrot and put him back in the hutch to ensure that he didn't wander while WangJi was gone. But with the rabbit safe and happy with his leaf, WangJi was able to head to the kitchen with Little Radish. When he arrived, he stepped inside, looking to see if Wen Ning had arrived yet]

[Wen Ning is there, as he'd been able to go straight over. He stands up from where he'd been sitting and waves cheerfully to the other man. Seeing the rabbit only made his smile brighten.

He knows it isn't the happiest of times for Lan Wangji, but it's not going to help either of them if they drink their tea gloomily.]

Second Master Lan!

[He follows up with a bow.]

[Little Radish was a good traveling companion. He didn't object to being carried so he was completely still in WangJi's arms as he carried him in]

Wen Qionglin.

[He gave a slight nod in greeting and set Little Radish down on the table. The rabbit hopped over so he could look at the other person and sat up on his hind legs. Hello, person]

Thank you for coming.

[It's still strange to hear his courtesy name from someone other than Wei Wuxian. Very few people use it. It stopped bothering him some time ago.]

Of course! You're a friend and... it's good to relax with friends.

[Especially if that friend is going through hard times. Wen Ning smiles at the little rabbit, glad that it's behaved enough not to immediately jump off the table.]

... He's very cute.

[He's just very formal and that is his formal name]

Yes, it is nice to spend time with friends.

[Yep, he considered him a friend.

Little Radish looked up at him, nose wiggling as he sniffed in his general direction before dropping down and rubbing at his ears as though washing them]

He is. He is also a good friend. You may pet him.

A-ah?

[Something about Lan Wangji telling him he can pet the rabbit sounds very funny to Wen Ning, and he has to bite back laughing around his smile. That might be seen as rude.]

He is very pet-worthy, for sure.

[He reaches out hesitantly to gently touch the head of that cute little ball of fluff.]

[He had wanted to make sure that Wen Ning knew that he could pet the rabbit since he was sometimes unsure about things]

He is.

[Little Radish is good with pets and in fact looks like a very happy rabbit as Wen Ning pet him. Yes, petting rabbit is good]

I'm glad that you get to have them here. I-it seems like they would be good company.

[He's sure Lan Wangji would prefer to have the company of Wei Wuxian, of course, but it does help to have something. And he knows the man must do a very good job of taking care of them.

Wen Ning scratches gently behind the rabbit's ears.]

He's well behaved, too. Does he know all the Lan rules?

Indeed. Little Radish is better behaved than Little Carrot. Not that he is bad, but Little Carrot has more energy.

[Little Radish had been his comfort rabbit once before when WuXian was gone. The white rabbit was doing it again this time.

Happy rabbit at scritches with a very content look on his face]

I'm sure that he does know some. I have recited them around him before.

Ah...

[Wen Ning gives the rabbit a little boop on the nose with one finger.]

You're a Lan now, little rabbit. Make sure you listen well.

[Thinking back on the rules now, there's a surprising amount that this tiny creature would actually be capable of breaking.]

[Little Radish wrinkled his nose, looking up at Wen Ning as he poked him. Yep, he was definitely a Lan bunny. So many things to remember]

He listens very well. I don't know that he'll be able to copy the rules well.

[A little joke there. But yes, surprisingly they could break a number of the rules without even knowing it]

I'm sure calligraphy is difficult with those tiny paws.

[The little joke isn't lost on Wen Ning, and he's pleased that Lan Wangji feels comfortable enough with him to say it.]

Just repeat them in your head every day! [He addresses the rabbit again, grin only widening.]

It is. I don't know that it would be very legible.

[Little Radish sat up as Wen Ning said that to him. He looked around, bobbing a little as he did. Kind of looked like he was bowing. It was rather cute, WangJi thought]

Edited 2021-05-09 00:48 (UTC)

[It does rather look like bowing. And even though Wen Ning knows that it isn't, he still returns the gesture with a could nods of his head.]

Yes, yes. You're very cute and polite, little Lan bunny.

[He gives him another poke on the nose.]

Do they make headbands in his size?

[WangJi smiled watching as Wen Ning bowed back to the rabbit. Little Radish didn't know what he had done... but it was apparently interesting]

He is very polite.

[Little Radish lowered back down and walked on the table a bit, sniffing. He knew food came from this place so maybe he was hopeful]

I don't believe so. Though I'm sure the spider here would be able to make one.

The... spider?

[Wen Ning looks up from where he'd started to hunch down at the rabbit's level.]

There's a spider here that makes clothing?

[It would have to be a rather large spider, he'd imagine, or creating that much spider silk would take forever. And wouldn't it be sticky?]

Yes. She is a rather large spider who makes clothes for a cost, usually snacks.

[Yes, he was not lying about this]

She has made many items for me including my and Wei Ying's wedding clothes.

[It's so odd to think about the two of them being married - even though he'd teased another version of this man about that same thing. Knowing it had actually happened is completely different.

It's also odd to think about a spider who made clothes for food, but there are a lot of weird things on this train. Hopefully that food isn't actually other travelers.]

That... must be something to see.

[It sounds downright magical.]

I really need to get to know all the passengers here...

She will certainly help you. She has made clothes like ours before. Last I heard, her price for new customers was one bag of the treats the train provides.

[He nodded his head once] It is a difficult task to get to know them all when it changes so often.

If the train provides them... couldn't she just ask the train for them?

[Or is there some limitation here he's missing? He doesn't plan on asking for new clothes just yet regardless. He can fight in what he has now and that's what's most important.]

That doesn't seem like much in the way of payment.

She can. But they also cost points, so I assume that it is her way of getting paid for the work. She does not have to spend the points on the treats in order to get them, just has to work.

Ah - that's true.

[The train provides many things, but not everything is free. Points are really the only form of currency on this train, so it would be a sort of payment. Then again, couldn't the same people buy clothes from the train just as easily? Unless the food costs less, which would make sense.]

If it works for her that's all that matters, I suppose.
