[diabolique]

(( The face on the screen is smiling pleasantly. Wei Wuxian even waves to the camera. ))

There are so many new names and faces on the network lately. I've been here a long time so if anyone needs help with anything, feel free to ask me.

Hi! I'm Wei Wuxian. Tell me something interesting about yourself. I'll start: I was dead for thirteen years before I came back to life and then ended up here.

[diabolique]

It sounds like you've had an interesting life.

(( Interesting to him, at least. Her world already sounds very different from his, which makes him immensely curious. ))

I never knew him.

[song_princess]

Interesting?

[That... How was her life interesting?]

You never knew him? Then how or why did he offered a great sacrifice? Revenge couldn't just be it.

[diabolique]

(( Well, the whole learning while asleep thing is pretty cool if you ask him. ))

I was the worst monster he could think of.

[song_princess]

[It could be if she did it on her own free will.]

But my lord doesn't seem to be a monster. At least not to this one. My lord's eyes and face are rather kind but yet mischievous.

[diabolique]

Rumors of my misdeeds were greatly exaggerated.

[song_princess]

I take it that my lord was quite the trouble maker?

[She couldnt help but to giggle a little.]

[diabolique]

(( He chuckles and ducks his head before looking back to the camera. ))

That, I can't deny.

[song_princess]

[Okay, she couldn't help but to giggle even more.]

I guess I shouldn't speak with such a trouble maker lest I become one myself.

[She knew how silly it sounded and allowed herself to show just a little bit of playfulness.]

What type of trouble did my lord get into?

[diabolique]

Necromancy.

[song_princess]

What is it if I may be so bold to ask?

[diabolique]

I can raise the dead and control them.

[song_princess]

Oh... I... How? Why? Wouldn't they be allowed to rest?

[diabolique]

At the time, there was a war going on. People found the skill useful.

[song_princess]

Even for war...

[Was it her place to say something?]

For no other purpose, my lord?

[diabolique]

(( He's sure he's heard close ever admonishment for his abilities. A few more wouldn't hurt. ))

What better way to bolster one's numbers than with the dead of one's enemies?

[song_princess]

[A small frown as it seems like she is overstepping her place.]

My apologies my lord.... This one believes she understands your reasoning.

[diabolique]

It's alright if you don't. After all was said and done and our side won, the very people who benefited from my power turned against me.

[song_princess]

[And that surprised her.]

But you have aided them so much! Why would they have done such a horrible thing?

[diabolique]

Fear of the unknown, I suppose. Or coveting that power. Maybe a little of both.

[song_princess]

[She frowns and looks away at his words.]

Foolish....

It... Must have been painful to have to endure that.

[diabolique]

(( It was, actually. As much as Wei Wuxian boasted about walking the single-plank bridge in order to do what he thought was right, he was more alone than he could imagine. Especially with others manipulating his brother's insecurities and youth. ))

I endured it for as long as I could.

[song_princess]

[Her expression slowly changes and she couldn't help but to start cooing, gaining an understanding expression on her face.]

You.... You have endured something for so long. You are quite strong my lord.

[diabolique]

Well... I did die.

[song_princess]

....

[She stops her cooing as she ponders what she should say, what to do. She still feared humans but here was one, he had lived, died and lived a hard life.

She goes to take a slow deep breath and starts to sing. She isn't there with him to hug him but hopefully her song could give him the comfort he needed.]

[diabolique]

(( This isn't the first time he's been comforted by music. However there's a different kind of energy in Leanne's song than in the music he's heard before. It's warm and enveloping and makes him feel more at ease. Dark eyes fall closed as he listens and, only when she's done, does he dare to speak. ))

Thank you for that.
