Imagination 16; Video - Open, Some Closed

[achickenformylove]

[Where else did WangJi post an important video that he wanted to let people know about? Sitting in the greenhouse with Little Radish the white rabbit sitting in his lap, gently petting the rabbit as he spoke]

I wanted to inform my fellow passengers that my partner, Wei WuXian, and I are intending to wed again on the train. It will take place at the end of this month. The ceremony and the reception will be open to everyone who wishes to attend.

Private Messages to Lan Xichen, Lan Sizhui, Wen Qing, and Xiao Xingchen
We are planning to privately have a tea ceremony as part of the wedding arrangements as is traditional. We would like for you to be in attendance.

This is true. Whatever time you decide on though, I will make sure my schedule is cleared, but I'm sure there won't be much I'll be busy with.

[because that's exactly right: there's only so much to do and so many places to go on this train, most of which sizhui still has yet to explore.]

[achickenformylove]

Yes, I do not believe that it will be too difficult to arrange.

[Even if they were trying to gather more than just four people, there wasn't enough on the train to be too time-consuming]

I'm glad that you will be able to join us.

[deferences]

Good. [a moment's hesitation then,] Do you need help with anything else?

[sizhui might as well make himself useful since he's been invited and all. (also while he has nothing else to do at the moment, this is a nice way to distract himself from newly arising problems.)]

Ah... I, I'm glad I will be able to as well.

[achickenformylove]

[WangJi thought about that for a moment] We need assistance with cooking and decorating. Someone has offered to play music. However, he plays flute so you might be able to accompany him if that is what you which to do.

[He can't help a faint smile that Sizhui is glad about being there as well]

[deferences]

I can most certainly help with both of those things! And, if he doesn't mind me doing so, I could accompany him on my guqin.

[he's grinning rather exuberantly despite knowing he shouldn't show such emotion so outrightly, but he also knows of all people, lan wangji certainly won't mind.] Might I ask who it is that's playing?

[achickenformylove]

[WangJi did not mind at all that he did. Being excited about things was good even though WangJi's level of excitement was very subdued. Being overly excited was too much, but this was not that case]

Thank you. It is Curufin.

[deferences]

[it's fine, sizhui will just have to be overtly excited for the both of them. alongside wei wuxian, he's assuming, anyway.]

It's my pleasure, Hanguang-jun. Oh, I know Master Curufin! I hope he's alright with it, too.

[achickenformylove]

[It was perfectly fine for Sizhui to have the enthusiasm for both of them. That's how it usually was between them]

I will approach the topic to him. [He couldn't imagine that it would be a problem, but since the offer had been made to him, he'd check with Curufin]

[deferences]

[and it is quite likely how it will always be.]

That sounds like a plan to me. [he imagines curufin is nice enough, he won't mind, but sizhui also won't outrightly make an assumption about someone he doesn't know much about.] What sort of dishes and decorations will you need help with?

[achickenformylove]

[He had always thought that Curufin would be the understanding sort. Besides, it was so that they could perform together, not that Curufin's offer to play for them was being rejected]

Hmm... I would like to have some dishes as close to what Gusu Lan offers as possible for others to try and dishes that are good for weddings if possible. [Supplies on the train were more limited] I still have some of the decorations from our previous wedding.

[deferences]

[that's exactly right! and even if curufin doesn't want to share the spotlight, it's fine, sizhui surely won't fuss when there are many other things he can do to help.]

The greenhouse should have vegetables, yes? Regardless, I'm sure we could collect ingredients we've been provided, go through them and see what could possibly be made. [an almost too excited-sounding noise, though he reels it in somewhat before continuing,] Whatever you have leftover, I would love to help put them up.

[achickenformylove]

Yes, it should. The kitchen usually has a good supply even if some of the ingredients are strange.

[Like... really strange]

Your help is appreciated.

[deferences]

[‘strange’ is almost putting it mildly (looking at your teddybear-shaped lunchmeat, void train—), but they are nothing if not able to improvise.] You can say that again, [followed by the softest snicker.] Wonderful though, as I am pleased to help.

[and excited. really, truly, to be honest, because his fathers are allowed this.]

[achickenformylove]

[Yes, it was things like that made WangJi question the sanity of the train]

Thank you.

[The unspoken comment there: You always make him proud, Sizhui]

[deferences]

[can a train have sanity? if so, it's certainly gone off the rails. (ha. haha.)]

You're welcome.

[it needn't be said out loud, he obviously knows, which is exactly why his tone of voice sounds so fond.]
