🌸 ┊ letter received from @mischever Wei Wuxian : “ i can stay, if you want. ” / from a meme that i lost my bad.
Mulan knew that she should be able to handle this, after all, she had been training for situations like this since she was seven years old. yet, as she stood near the side of the room, watching as family members argued with each other, each blaming each other for involving cultivators in private matters and accusing one another of bringing this misfortunate upon the family, she felt uneasy.
shifting slightly, the young cultivator inched closer to the man dressed in black and red, ❝ i do not wish to burden you... ❞ she whispered softly, her gaze shifting from the family to meet with his own. ❝ but, i also would not mind you staying. ❞ she paused from saying more as the voices grew louder, and she could sense her Sect members growing more uncomfortable. taking in a breath, she knew that she needed to step up and be in charge, and so she motioned them closer.
❝ this could take a while. i will remain here to try and calm the family, so we can gather more information and permission to investigate the situation. go into the town and find out what you can from the locals and we will meet you at the Inn where we will regroup. ❞ each bowed to them both, thought they exchanged glances as they knew that her skills lacked when it came to negotiations. but they departed without complaint, leaving her alone with Wei Wuxian and the arguing family. fighting her nerves, she lowered her arms before glancing once more back up at the man, ❝ will you stay and help me ? ❞
