[ wei wuxian probably would have written a similar message sooner but he's had plenty to deal with. like personal monster issues. not that he intends to let on about that right here in black and white hahaha no sir. a n y w a y ! receiving this comes as a surprise! a pleasant one! this is new! ]
Me? Of course not! I'm too cute to eat anyway hehe. And what's this about a throne?
[ Oh. He is alive and obnoxious, that means he's doing well, right? Jiang Cheng doesn't actually know how to gauge what "doing well" means for this other Wei Wuxian but... It will have to do. At least until he has decided whether he even wants to care one way or the other. ]
A fancy chair then. Happy?
And you are a mangy deer, if anything that's why nobody wants to eat you.
[ it's a good sign in the way it's a good sign when a puppy's doing things it shouldn't be. ]
Oh no, you said throne. Is it here? I want to see! I did say we should figure out all the little things that aren't quite the same between what I know and what you know. That doesn't sound like a "little" thing!
And you only say that because you think anyone who has hair that's longer or slightly messier than yours is out of line.
Wei Wuxian, if you think I'm going to figure out how to take pictures with this thing just so you can mock my throne...!
It is here, yes. All of Lotus Pier is here. Or an eerily accurate copy of it, anyway.
And are you already insulting my throne? You haven't even seen it! It looks like a giant lotus flower because that is our SYMBOL. Did you forget?
[ Is this outrage ridiculous? Yes. Is it less awkward than actually telling Wei Wuxian if he wants to mock his throne, he has to come take a look for himself? Definitely. ]
Also: there is nothing "slightly messier" about your hair. It looks like it got chewed on by rats!
What makes you think I'm going to mock it? [ just ignore any and all historical evidence anyone could base that prediction on haha.. ] Of course I haven't forgotten! My memory is not so bad! Besides, that's why I figured you'd done it, for the symbolism.
[ it makes the most sense to him anyway. there's a certain energy about a throne that tapestries on a wall or flags on a gate don't exactly capture and anyone who stood in front of it would have to acknowledge. of course the yunmeng jiang sect would restore itself, it was right there in their symbol. he's still proud even if he defectedbut he can still tease just because it's fun. ]
Also, my hair's plenty neat! You just happen to catch me at strange times.
[ Why he had done it? That is enough to make Jiang Cheng pause and even forego all the perfect openings he is given to keep mocking this Wei Wuxian's hair and dress and everything.
The remainder of small, poignant differences between their worlds is just too sobering. ]
I didn't get that throne, Wei Wuxian. It's always been there. It was A-Die's before it became mine. This part of Lotus Pier has remained unchanged since he died.
