[His gaze on Lan Zhan is hungry, but he drags it away to the table and his objection to doing anything first fades away when he sees that Lan Zhan has even brought him a bottle of emperor's smile. He grins, pleased]

Alright, a drink then...

[graceandguqin]

[For a moment, Lan Zhan is disappointed Wuxian accepts his offer, but pushes that aside. It was silly and this was just a treat for his love before his 'punishment'.

He steps over to the table and sits down. He opens the bottle and serves his partner a glass.

They could wait to get physical after drinks, but there was nothing that said they could start the verbal sparring, was there?]

What made you think to text me such a thing?

[patrianarchy]

[Wei Wuxian was the talkative type, this unsurprisingly did not stop in the bedroom, so he's more than happy to have this conversation. He settles himself at the table and takes a sip of the liquor with a satisfied sigh before he answers, though, drawing it out deliberately. He gives Lan Zhan an impish smile]

I was just considering some of my favourite memories and thought it was only fair that I share one you were involved in.

[graceandguqin]

[A blush rose along Lan Zhan's ears, but he was doing his best to look disapproving. It wasn't working!

With a shake of his head, he took the glass from Wuxian and refilled it.]

What is someone were to see something like that? What would they think?

[patrianarchy]

[Wei Wuxian grins unashamedly at the other man - he delighted in being able to make him blush - and shrugs easily]

They would think I am very, very lucky.

[graceandguqin]

[His jaw fell open and he held back the second glass.]

Wei Ying! You would not let others see that!

[You were so going to get it!]

If you didn't want to know you shouldn't have asked in the first place

[He knows, he's not sorry]

[jc_superstar]

Casual curiosity that immediately went to 'nevermind,' Wuxian! You should have respected that!

[patrianarchy]

But I wanted to share my successes with my brother :)

[jc_superstar]

Wonderful. Congratulations.

You're not keeping the chickens here.

[patrianarchy]

You don't sound very happy for me, didi

[jc_superstar]

No one has come to me about a wedding.

[patrianarchy]

I don't think we're there yet

Including you, didi

[jc_superstar]

We are not talking about me, Wuxian!

[patrianarchy]

I just want you to be happy, is that so bad?

[jc_superstar]

What if I'm already happy?

[patrianarchy]

Are you?

[jc_superstar]

I am content with my duties to my people.

[patrianarchy]

That's not the same thing, didi

Captain Wei drops to his knees, sword clattering onto the deck as it becomes increasingly clear they are fighting a losing battle. The navy has them overrun and half his crew have either already surrendered - if they're not dead or too injured to move. He can see their ship's surgeon being held back by two officers as she tries to get to her brother. The brother in question, his quartermaster Wen Ning, is slumped on the deck with a hand pressed against his side. He's going to need medical attention soon and he's not the only one. Surrender is their only option to prevent any more death.

He lifts his hands behind his head, gaze seeking out the navy captain in charge here as the last pockets of resistance amongst his crew fade into nothingness. He just hopes he can rely on the navy to patch up their wounded and take them captive rather than kill them outright - no doubt they'll be taken back to port to be hanged, but a certain death in three days is better than a certain death right now, and a lot can happen in three days.

[stillyoursoulmate]

The Lans, for the most part, all were part of the Navy. He is none too pleased when he does come upon the pirate ship. Despite the fact that he's not one to show emotion, those eyes show enough. Annoyance. Anger. He also notes the pirate captain before sending the rest of his men to gather up Captain Wei's people. Of course, the first thing that happens is medical attention.

Lan Wangji was not an animal. He was not one to just kill everyone on sight. There were some in the navy that would, but he wasn't one of them. Which is why when the ship's people are taken captive, the wounded are patched up, and they're even fed. That's not to say that the navy captain doesn't make sure that things were well taken care of.

These pirates would live and avoid death, as long as no one acted out, before their three days were up.

[patrianarchy]

The crew follow their captain's lead and for once he's actually behaving himself - as soon as the wounded are being looked after he's downright docile, not wanting to cause any more trouble for his crew.

"We are now on our way to be executed," Wen Qing observes pointedly as soon as they're closer to one another again. Wuxian gives her a cocky smile "Don't worry, I'll figure something out." he says easily, earning a glare from her. Unfortunately, she glares at him a lot, so it's lost its effectiveness when she doesn't have any weapons to back it up right now.

There is one thing he wants to take care of, though, so before they're herded off their own ship and into the navy ship's brig, he does make just a little bit of a nuisance of himself, just to attract attention.

"I need to speak to your captain," he tells one of the officers cheerfully.

[stillyoursoulmate]

Luckily, for Wei Wuxian, the people that worked for the navy captain took his nuisance with a grain of sand. They'd dealt with far worse than Captain Wei. If they hadn't, then their captain had.

The officer doesn't even say a word to Captain Wei, merely turns and expects him to follow. If he wanted to talk to their navy captain then he'd move and follow him. When they do get to the captain, however, he's overseeing a few things.

Which means that golden eyes look towards the pirate captain. The navy captain wasn't one to show emotion, so the pirate wasn't bound to get it. "Something I can help you with, Captain Wei?"
