Okay. So I am Lady Macbeth, and I can dispel curses - but I also transfer all my injuries. I can do it once per week, and anything I've got in terms of injuries and curses goes to a random person.

Escha came to me because she thought I'd used it on you.

[disreguarded]

Ahhh, shit. [ escha :c ] Gods, now I owe her a double apology.

[ grumble. ] So what you told me was half right. Fuck, I was like - halfway there when I tried to point you out.

[ she's proud of herself for being smart? but also wow, that would've been so bad. ]

[ruffboi]

Hah. Yeah, sounds like you woulda been right on the money.

[Though he can't confirm too much.]

Nah, it's okay. I knew you didn't know we knew, so I saw you trying to push it on us and just, uh. Let you know.

[disreguarded]

Yeah. [ she scrubs her face. ]

... I really thought we were alone. [ slow, steadying breath. ] Is it weird to be relieved that we're not?

[ruffboi]

No. I'm really relieved. I felt like.

[He doesn't cry, but he does rub at his beard.]

If anything happened to me, I'd be leaving Flayn to deal with it alone, y'know? And I knew if I did tell Taako, he'd understand, but I couldn't.

[disreguarded]

Yeah. That's why I've been trying so hard, I didn't want to leave Wei Wuxian alone. He doesn't deserve that.

[ruffboi]

Now, I guess we can all agree. If anything happens to one of us, we'll look out for each others' partners.

[He smiles a little.]

I don't plan on going down after the crazy amount of shit Taako pulled to save me, but there are definitely some nosy teens on to me by now. It makes me feel better knowing somebody would keep Flayn from having to do it alone.

[disreguarded]

You're gonna be fine. [ she says, stubbornly. ] None of us are going to let anything happen to you, now.

Kind of like having a little fucked up murder family, huh. [ she rubs at her neck. ] Fuck, I can't believe Taako knew. I was about to lose my shit because he almost straight up accused me of murder.
