[He's really only doing this because he's...fairly sure only Wei Wuxian and Pyra know his hexcode. So this is...basically anonymous, right?]

What would be an acceptable gift for a young maiden?

Anything related to cooking will not be considered.

[Look, he knows where his cooking skills are! And it's not in the kitchen.]

I lived there for weeks.

[In fact, given that they're both on their computers he's probably there right now???]

(2/2)

[regrede]

Are you HERE?!

[ this is yelled into the cottage, but sierra is in her room as she usually is, so it’s not like she would even know. he has no bloodlust to speak of! ]

[wooden_one]

[He's sitting in the living room, in fact.

And no, there is no one as lacking in bloodlust as him.

He doesn't quite yell but his voice does carry well enough.]

Where else would I be?

[He isn't even being sarcastic...]

[regrede]

Auuuugh!

[ sierra slams her laptop shut, probably loud enough to echo, and storms into the living room. clearly, she’s recovered from dying. ]

I can never tell when you’re in the house.

[wooden_one]

[Also, it's likely he won't even have bloodlust even when angry and fighting. What an inconvenient sort of guy.

He doesn't have a lot of experience being talked to like this before coming here.

But he's nothing if not adaptable.

So he's stopped being surprised anymore and just takes it in stride.]

You didn't mention what sort of jewelry you wanted.

[He points this out because since she's here then he should really measure to make sure whatever he makes fits.]

[regrede]

You…

[ she’s flustered at how she could completely miss his entrance like this, but his calmness sort of helps soothe her. not because she consciously appreciates it, but because it’s hard to continue fussing at someone who seems so utterly unfazed. ]

I don’t know. What do you think would suit me?

[ she’s pouting. ]

[wooden_one]

[He makes a face at that. And just because of how he is, when he's confused he looks a little mad.]

Why are you asking me? [Does he look like someone who would be able to answer that!?] I've only ever made weapons.

[regrede]

[ she doesn’t think he has the right to get mad, but again, she doesn’t actually sense any desire to fight coming off him, so the only thing she can do is pout harder. ]

You’re the one going to make it! You should at least have some idea.

[wooden_one]

[He frowned because...what part of, "I've only ever made weapons" is so hard to understand...?]

I don't know anything about jewelry.

[But he knows a delicate chain is probably out of the question so...]

Maybe a bangle?

[regrede]

A bangle…

[ sierra repeats his suggestion, considering it, and she lifts her own delicate wrist as if to envision what a bangle might look like on it. she nods. ]

Yes, a bangle would do nicely.

[wooden_one]

[That's good then. He wasn't sure what else to suggest if she didn't like it. A hair stick...?

He holds out a hand to her.]

Let me measure your wrist, then.

[regrede]

Hoho. I feel like such a princess.

[ sierra offers her wrist, even going to far as to kindly pull up her sleeve so there’s no cloth in the way. ]

You really know how to treat a lady.

[wooden_one]

[He wraps his fingers around her wrist, to give himself a general idea of how big it was.]

I'm have no idea how to do that.

[The only woman he interacts with on any regular basis back home was Madame Wang.]

I've never met a princess before in my life.
