This is Halloween!

The Bar loves her holidays, but she is also capable of respecting religious strictures. That's why she put a lot of thought into finding a Halloween costume for Harrow that works with her face paint and general insistence on the monochromatic.
Harrow, for her part, is baffled by the white-pinstriped black suit and the oversized bow, but the gloves are very cool, and the buckled shoes suit as well. She has no idea what's going on but she can live with this.
The Bar seems even more unusually populated than usual, and there are a lot of gourds around. Hm.

"Lan Zhan, don't look at me like that," he adds without even glancing Lan Zhan's way -- and then, with the hug loosened just enough, he snakes a hand between them to snatch the shot glass from Lan Zhan's grip and down the rest of it in one go. "Hah! See?"
He punctuates this with a quick kiss.

He is smiling.
"Fine. You can be sneaky."
To Ingress, he adds, "Lying is forbidden. I will have to be careful."

Date: 2020-11-03 05:19 pm (UTC)âItâs less lying and more not saying âoh yes Iâm from a far away world you have no idea exists which might make me a threat to the kingdomâ, so it will be fine.â
no subject
Date: 2020-11-03 05:39 pm (UTC)...maybe the Atlantean really was as strong as Ingress declared.
"And if not, I will lie for him. All you have to do is keep quiet, zhiji. You're good at that. We'll play to our strengths! I'll talk and you... won't talk."
He dissolves into more giggles.

Date: 2020-11-03 05:43 pm (UTC)They all three are.
"Yes."
To both of them.
"It will be fine."
no subject
Date: 2020-11-03 06:41 pm (UTC)She sighs happily. Getting back to Haven after this is going to be a trick. Sheâs not entirely sure she can get out of this hug, much less the bar.
Sheâll worry about it later!

Date: 2020-11-03 07:01 pm (UTC)How wonderful is that?
no subject
Date: 2020-11-03 07:10 pm (UTC)"Mn."
He keeps his wing around Ingress, though, and his arm around Wei Ying.
no subject
Date: 2020-11-03 07:17 pm (UTC)âNo, donât want to be sleepy for birthday parties,â she mumbles, eyes closing.
no subject
Date: 2020-11-03 07:21 pm (UTC)"Noooo," he protests, jostling her very lightly. "Don't fall asleep! We could get you coffee. Lan Zhan, help, should we get coffee?"
no subject
Date: 2020-11-03 08:11 pm (UTC)"Perhaps just a little, otherwise. Ingress, have you had coffee before?"
no subject
Date: 2020-11-03 08:15 pm (UTC)âCoffee is nice. With the fluffy milk in. Bar knows.â
Bar will indeed know to give her a latte with plenty of frothy milk in.
no subject
Date: 2020-11-03 10:04 pm (UTC)"Just because I stayed up 'til yin hour one time," he says, mournful. "You'll never let me have coffee again, will you, Lan Zhan."
no subject
Date: 2020-11-03 10:34 pm (UTC)"Wei Ying. Do you really want coffee? Now?"
"Ingress, open your eyes. You will need to be awake to drink it."
no subject
Date: 2020-11-03 10:44 pm (UTC)She blinks up at him because while sheâs a tall woman, they are both taller still.
âThank you.â Then she mouths to Wei Wuxian, âYou can have a sip of mine.â
no subject
Date: 2020-11-03 10:50 pm (UTC)But she's going to share! So that's all right. A sly smile sneaks over his face as he whispers to her, "You're the best of friends."
no subject
Date: 2020-11-03 11:00 pm (UTC)"All right."
He turns carefully to face Bar-guniang and says, politely,
"Bar-guniang. May we have a cup of the coffee with milk that Ingress prefers? And--"
"--a small cup, otherwise. For me." Remembering how bitter it had been when he had tried it before, he adds, "Perhaps with milk as well."
A large latte manifests in a mug the color of Ingress's hair, along with a white mug of freshly percolated coffee with cream.
no subject
Date: 2020-11-03 11:09 pm (UTC)âDelicious. Just what I needed.â
She stands on her own two feet without leaning on either of her friends. Inside she still feels happy bubbles of love and contentment, but the coffee does help steady her. She takes another sip and then offers the mug to Wei Wuxian.
no subject
Date: 2020-11-03 11:22 pm (UTC)Wait.
Did Lan Zhan just ordered coffee for himself?
He shoves Ingress's cup back toward her -- fortunately, it doesn't slosh too much -- and grabs one of Lan Zhan's hands. "Lan Zhan! Don't drink that! What if it's like alcohol to you and you don't sleep at all for three days?"
His eyes have gone huge with worry.
no subject
Date: 2020-11-03 11:36 pm (UTC)He picks up the mug and takes a cautious sip, waits for a moment, then tries another.
no subject
Date: 2020-11-03 11:48 pm (UTC)âIâll sober up a bit more before I go back to Haven, but I think Iâm tired.â
And chilly. Sheâs ready for pants again.
no subject
Date: 2020-11-03 11:55 pm (UTC)Wei Wuxian pouts -- he doesn't want Ingress to leave yet! -- but relents soon enough to push the cupcakes over to her. "Take a few more before you go," he encourages. "They can be breakfast!"
And then he lets go of Lan Zhan long enough to wrap Ingress in a huge hug. "Thank you for celebrating with me. And for the wine. That was such good wine."
no subject
Date: 2020-11-04 01:20 am (UTC)"Be well, Ingress. Thank you."
no subject
Date: 2020-11-04 11:54 pm (UTC)Once she's safely home, Wei Wuxian sighs a long, happy sigh and leans back against Lan Zhan.
"I want to go outside," he says, peering hazily at Lan Zhan over the top of his sunglasses. "Can we?"
no subject
Date: 2020-11-04 11:57 pm (UTC)âIf you wish.â
