That's the card you're going to play? Let me know when you've figured it out.

[downswing]

The bride price is returned for early widowhood. How will Jiang Wanyin reimburse?

[consignation]

We can die together then.

[downswing]

Painting comes after white silk.

[consignation]

You're already dressed for a funeral, it can be ours. Come along.

[downswing]

You crave my death.

[consignation]

Yes but I also crave my own so don't think that makes you special.

[downswing]

Then, together.

[consignation]

Great, let's go tell Wei Wuxian the good news.

[downswing]

Widowed and orphaned.

You wish this upon him.

[consignation]

He died on us first, fair's fair.

[downswing]

Wear whites.

[consignation]

You have spares?

[downswing]

You, lives to waste?

[consignation]

That's what everyone says I'm doing with mine, so. Must be so.

[downswing]

Self-pitying.

When the likes of lady Wen died a martyr.


( What have you lost, sir? )

[consignation]

[ BESIDES EVERYTHING???

but this admonishment won't work on him, not from you. ]

You don't get to wield her for a weapon when you stood by just the same.

Keep her name off your hypocritical tongue or I'll carve it out of your mouth, Lan Wangji.

[downswing]

You will attempt.

[consignation]

Make that gamble if you're willing to lose.

The indefatigable skill of Zidian is well remembered.

[downswing]

On your predecessor's hand.

[consignation]

If you are so eager to invoke the memory of my mother, shall I return the favor and invoke yours?

[downswing]

( And what do the sects know, to speak of her? )

A name humbler than that of Yu Ziyuan. Less accomplished.

[consignation]

[ enough to make the point that mothers should be off limits, especially when they are dead and gone. ]

That's enough. Are we going to see Wei Wuxian or fight to the death? I've lost track.
