( Days later, after arriving at Tehr'adun, merchant city of the endless deserts. )

I too may earn coin.

A gentleman offers three sheep and a vase for you in matrimony.

Comments

[downswing]

We do.

He loves you, for all necessity has taught him to emulate me.

[weifinder]

That's enough. I'm glad for it, and his emulation.

Though with how grown up he is, we do probably need to be prepared for his own marriage adventures.

[downswing]

Yes. A hard challenge of the next decade.

[weifinder]

Or less!

[downswing]

Wei Wuxian.

[weifinder]

Be prepared!

[downswing]

A decade.

[weifinder]

Preparation is key!

[downswing]

Speak further. We add time.

[weifinder]

I can't tell if it's funnier you think he'll wait if he finds his person or if you saying it is just the more amusing part.

[downswing]

He will court honourably, at length.

[weifinder]

Learning from the example of his father's second courtship, ah?

[downswing]

From Lan An, our forefather, bound to romance.

[weifinder]

Was that for the better or the worse?

[downswing]

You find us so wanting?

[weifinder]

No. I simply question if such a thing is ever enough. If part of the value, a hundred and more years ago, was in equity.

I don't know that any of the great clans considered so far.

[downswing]

You cannot love, where you see no value.

Thus, the good are called to the good. The worthy to the worthy.

[weifinder]

Meng Yao loved himself most. Yet I don't think he failed to feel love also for others.

[downswing]

For my brother's sake, I would wish it so.

But must wonder.

[weifinder]

People aren't simple.

Justice, likewise, is more complex than people appreciate. It's easier to blame than let go. I know that. I've lived it on both sides.

[downswing]

And you forgive him?

[weifinder]

No.

I can understand, to an extent. I don't forgive so much as... let go.

[downswing]

Easier, when you did not live with the consequences.

[weifinder]

No, I had myself alone to blame, as far as I knew.

[downswing]

And an estranged sword to fall on.
