[semi-open] Lay me down let the only sound be the overflow

[zewu_jun]

Who: Lan Xichen, cultivators, and friends!
When: Around mid-month
Where: Lakeside out beyond the Wall (near the forge)
What: swimming, sitting, sighing, and shedding
Warnings: F is for friends who do stuff together.



Everyone probably has their own reasons for being at the lake. For Lan Xichen, working in the forge tends to lead to overheating (especially when he's been fighting off certain stress levels) and the nearby water provides a good way to politely cool off. Maybe you met him on his way and decided to join in or maybe you were already there. After several days this becomes a regular pattern of work followed by an afternoon soak, so it's possibly just a nice diversion when things are a bit too much to handle.

Whether it is swimming, meditating, having a snack, or just enjoying the fresh air along the bank, there are plenty of ways to share time with friends. The only possible warning will come from Lan Xichen himself if it looks like an argument is brewing--he will intervene. He came explicitly for some quiet time, so if anyone starts a fight, they'll probably have a half-naked Lan there to break them up. Maybe that's your thing.

[ooc: This log is a free for all for swimming and lake side games. All our friends are invited to tag in and tag each other. Basically, make up whatever you would like as a starter and cut in wherever if people agree! Non-cultivator friends and 4th wallers also welcome. If you need a specific prompt added, poke me at teaandreveries.]

( sure, nie mingjue’s had it “easy”, but he also died once upon a time, so it’s only fair. especially since his killer is still around, also resurrected.

now, now, if there’s something wrong with lan xichen… not exactly, and lan wangji vaguely shakes his head like he isn’t sure how to answer, a deep crease between his brows. he doesn’t want to step on boundaries, doesn’t think it’s his place to tell, but chifeng-zun is also one of the few men he completely trusts, and one who knows his brother as well as he does. so, here goes nothing. ) Jin Guangyao wished to bond with him. ( and he can’t be 100% sure, but it’s most likely a fait accompli. )

[Well yes there is that. That is never going to be an easy situation for... anyone involved, unfortunately. Especially considering what happened during the full moons.

Mingjue's brow furrows as well, into a trademark frown of generalized disapproval.] Yes. Xichen told me. Not until after he had already Bonded the snake, but I am aware. [Lan Xichen had asked for his forgiveness, but had been stubbornly resistant to being talked out of it.

He can tell Lan Wangji is worried; Nie Mingjue's worries echo his, judging from the way he sits a little straighter, expression set into the familiar face of the Nie Sect Leader.] Has he done something?
