I. Nightmare (closed to Wei Wuxian)

Wangji had used to be fall asleep and wake up like clock-work. But that had been a lifetime ago - his sleep was troubled or light over the years of solitude, and while having Wei Ying in his arms made his rest easier, it was not difficult for him to return to consciousness the moment he could tell his husband was having a bad dream.

Arms still around him, he raises one hand to caress his face. "Wei Ying. Wake up."

II. Around Gazin - Open

It takes Wangji a coupl of days of looking before he accepts that Sizhui is gone. It feels... complicated, but at least he trusts that their son will be safer back home. There will be many who will take care of him, and his friends as well.

So he returns to his usual tasks. Some hunting, but mostly helping with preparing food at the inn. And whenever he has gathered herbs on his hunts, he visits the druid to replenish the stores. It is only fair, after all - the gift of understanding granted on arrival means much to Wangji.

With regards to cooking, he sometimes can be found around the market, asking about this or that. "What dishes does this usually fit?" People who have cooked with other herbs and spices know them better. He will experiment, too, but at least he can get some direction.

Wangji's eyes narrow, but he does not lash out. There are reasons why he usually avoids displaying what is happening in his mind - mockery is easy, after all - but he is more than adult enough to handle it.

"Mn. In stew, or raw?" Just sprinkled with herbs and spices, hmm. Just verifying.
