[Okay he wants to harp on this some more but that's very distracting information.]

We're not done talking about how many friends I have but wow, that sounds awful. Does that mean they pick what you eat and when you sleep and everything?

[blackfire]

Presumably.

[singlelogbridge]

do you have someone in mind to do it?

[blackfire]

Do you expect I trust anyone here that much?

（ which is not an answer, but. ）

[singlelogbridge]

Who would? [That sounds like a nightmare even to Wei Wuxian.]

I'll help you with it then. If you'll let me. It'll mean putting aside my many many friends, but I'll live with it somehow.

[blackfire]

We'll discuss that possibility later.

（ possibly never??? weird. also, remember that list he talked about?

yeah he totally made one up and sent it over. ）

Select something from this list. I don't care which.

（ predictably, it's all very serious (and thoroughly disseminated) things. line items such as 'tell what you know of my past to someone' etc. some of what is listed is downright cruel — which is to be expected with someone possessed of so little personal regard for himself.

look, at least no one can ever complain he's not thorough. ）

[It's a couple of minutes before he responds again, and when he does, he's switched to audio. Sorry Itachi, he barely tolerates text as it is, and for this he wants him to hear his voice.]

I'm not doing any of those things. Not for this or ever. [He'd suspected when Itachi made the offer that it would be something like this, but it still makes him angry to even consider any of those as options. Angry that Itachi has even offered them up. (It doesn't surprise him exactly, that Itachi would throw his own privacy out there as ammo like this, but it still makes Wei Wuxian want to shake him.)

When he speaks again, his voice is level and there's a determination in it that's impossible to ignore.]

I'm not interested in breaking your trust. I won't ever reveal your past to anyone. Consider that a promise.

[blackfire]

（ weird time to switch to audio, and he is absolutely not following suit. ）

It is not a promise I require.

Most of my life is public record in my world.

（ which clearly makes it fine. ）

[singlelogbridge]

[You people and your text!!! That's fine, he switches back. He only wanted to make himself clear so he'll return to text now.]

If you required it, you wouldn't have made that offer, I know. But I'm telling you regardless.

If you want to get on the network and tell everyone every detail of your life, that's up to you, but the point is it's your choice who you tell, not mine.

[blackfire]

You are missing the point of betrayal.

[singlelogbridge]

I understand betrayal just fine. I am opting out of it. At least like that. [Maybe watch your brownies though.]

I told you, remember? I won't do anything that would make my Shijie disappointed in me, and she'd be very disappointed in me if I harmed a friend.

[blackfire]

Annoying.

（ sasuke had to get it from somewhere... ）

Very well. Then agree to help me with my goal and break your word.

[singlelogbridge]

How is it even betrayal if you get to decide what it is! This just feels like you trying to get out of me telling you what to do. I'd be very good you know, I wouldn't even make you eat anything terrible.

Hey, what's your height? We're about the same, right?

[blackfire]

Why?

1/2

[singlelogbridge]

Because I'd get to pick out your clothes, right?

[singlelogbridge]

I'm teasing. Mostly.

[blackfire]

（ ??? ）

How is that 'teasing'?

I do not care especially about what clothing I wear.

（ have you not seen his collection of terrible, mismatched t-shirts and hideously eye-searing pants? he prefers black because it hides blood, but the truth of the matter is, clothing is clothing. so long as it serves its purpose he is not particularly married to its aesthetic. ）

[singlelogbridge]

[He actually laughs out loud, sitting there in his compartment with his work spread out in front of him.]

Well if you wouldn't care then I'm not teasing. Some people care a lot about clothes though. I can't say I'd love someone picking out clothes for me, and can you imagine trying to tell Gwen to wear something she doesn't like?

[blackfire]

This is not a productive conversation.

Do you agree or not?

[singlelogbridge]

Fine, I agree to it. And conversation doesn't always have to be productive. It can also be fun, engaging interesting, and number of other things.

[blackfire]

More than likely, yes.

But that sort of conversation is not for everyone.

[singlelogbridge]

That's because this is text. You have to actually pay attention and read what I'm saying unlike how you usually just tune me out. Obviously this means I should come and see you in person

[blackfire]

（ yeah he's not even going to reply to this.

good luck finding him in one of the 120 cars, wei wuxian. ）

[construing]

〈 no powers suck, but a few spiders remained loose, and communication is open. 〉 He's in car 〈 #.
