i wonder what happened on that staircase after lan wangji and wei wuxian left
lan xichen is like, “well, that was fun (no it wasn’t), thank you for having me, yao. i can see my brother taking a very wounded wei wuxian somewhere, and i really need to hurry back to gusu for completely unrelated reasons and prepare for a completely unrelated guest”
and jiang cheng is like, “are you fucking shitting me, zewu-jun, lan sect is fucking terrible at lying and it was obvious you knew that it was wei wuxian from before you got here. i’m not going to call you out on that tho, because i still begrudgingly care about my brother, but that’s non of your fucking business. so i’m just gonna go home and i’m taking jin ling with me, because this place is a fucking mess, bye.”
meanwhile nie huaisang is like, “yep, i’m also going home. also please don’t mind this huge carriage. it definitely does not contain my brother’s body and head, that i’m going to sew together when i get home. gosh this is so awkward”
and jin guangyao is just like, “what the fuck was that. i’m leaving the country tomorrow”
