[ it's nice, having someone else with similar sensibilities and style and taste. just two sect leader/peak lords. it makes shen qingqiu easier to approach, and so lan xichen does, to talk about his experiences out of the lodge. he desperately wants to compare notes to figure out this place.
lan xichen has made them tea, as they sit somewhere cozy in the lodge so they can chat. ] Thank you for agreeing to tell me about your experiences. I found mine to be rather bizarre and I wondered if everyone's was like that.
[ it's certainly been nice not being the Only Sane Man in this situation. To know someone else out there understands at least a good portion of the shit he deals with.. it's nice. Which is a good portion of why he accepts, and just the pleasing company. ]
Of course, of course. It certainly isn't like anything else I've seen either.
The one that we had seen? There's not much to say, unfortunately. Given how the room was shrouded in shadow, only the barest hint of identity could be seen.
Hm... [ thinks ] I agree we weren't supposed to be here, but it makes me wonder what exactly we're dealing with.
When I was out with the others I believe we met the original owner of the cabin. He said he was studying something to destroy the beings trying to take over this place and turn it into a desert of ice.
I am not sure. Though it seems whatever was living here and what came here were at war? [ xichen chuckles, and makes that face a person makes when they are about to say something insane ] The best I could understand it is they were two warring um, species, that were at odds and fought here until one of them was wiped out.
It seems so. [ buddy you should be glad lan xichen cannot wrap his brain around aliens cause uh. wow. ] Whatever or whoever is here wants us out, by whatever means necessary.
[ sighs ] As long as it does not send those ice creatures we should be fine here.
[ we don't have enough time to turn big bro into a tin hat, unfortunately(?) ]
I can only hope that it doesn't require even more than we can provide to leave.
[ flashback to all those AND THEN THERE WAS ONE horror movie endings. after all, somehow he's pretty sure hugging binghe's thighs won't save him here ]
I think you're right - there's nothing else to be gained by killing each other.
[ except maybe whatever the fuck kray's problem was but that's another story,, ] Especially if what Bedivere said was true about slowly growing colder with the demon's curse. It lines up with this demon being able to control icy monsters.
Mn. We could sit here and speculate about that all day, but without any clear sign of proof we're merely left guessing. [ he frowns, ] We should have asked Bedivere where and how he met that thing before... [ sighs. ]
Unfortunately, I didn't think to do so. [ the call of his bed was Too Strong after the sheer chaos of the hours leading to it ] All we can do now is hope for the best and plan for any possible changes along the way.

Given the unnatural cold we've felt, I would believe such. It's just a matter of how and why that remain unknown.
