[ what's up with nie anyway ]
MEME HERE LATER
[so the thing is that anya is sort of just wandering around the manor after getting her hand bandaged up but
she's so
befuddled by this bed
so she's going to stare at it, where it's crashed on first floor]

[ah... the bed...
nie huaisang pauses nearby, just sort of watching her staring at it for a few moments, because this is honestly very embarrassing.]
I really didn't think that would happen...

[ . . . she looks back at him and
offers a soft smile. tired, but sincere]
... not your fault. Помощь. You were trying to help Jin Ling, yes?

One bed for three people is... difficult to arrange, and no one was using that one anymore...
[and this is what came of trying to help jin ling. rip.]

[honestly she just
nods]
... I know. Хорошая попытка. It was a good try.
nods]
... I know. Хорошая попытка. It was a good try.
I thought it was worth an effort, but I do feel terrible that it caused confusion... we really didn't think this would be the result.
[and wow, did they ever not need more confusion today.]
[and wow, did they ever not need more confusion today.]
[ . . . ]
Not your fault. Of things to feel 'terrible'...
[she shakes head]
Несчастный случай. Accident is not one.

Still, we should have expected that, or... not done it in the first place. Miss Peach was right about trying to move the whole thing...
[he exhales a sigh, shoulders slumped a little.]
Enough about the bed, though, I think. [maybe he can forget it if he tries very hard.] Are you all right, miss, um-- oh, I don't believe we've met.
[this binch doesn't read profiles.]

[oh - she offers a soft smile and then uses her good hand to pick up her skirts in a curtsy]
Anastasia - but 'Anya' please. [she also imagines it's easier for others to say]
You are friend of Jin Ling, yes?
Anastasia - but 'Anya' please. [she also imagines it's easier for others to say]
You are friend of Jin Ling, yes?
Miss Anya, then. My name is Nie Huaisang, Sect Leader of QingheNie... but Sect Leader Nie is fine.
[he also imagines it's easier than 'nie huaisang'. she gets a nod in response, though, a little smile along with it.]
I do know him, although-- really, I'm more a friend of his uncle.

[she blinks at that
before shaking her head]
'Anya' is good. [no miss!!!!]
Mm... So you are also like uncle to him?
[that's how family works right]

I'm not sure I would say we're that close... Brother Guangyao and I are, of course, but I rarely see Jin Ling outside of conferences.
[he's a loud fighty child and doesn't think much of huaisang, he doesn't exactly try to spend a lot of time with him.]
But he'll eventually be a Sect Leader as well, I'm sure-! Then we'll be on a more equal level.

[she hums softly]
It is important role, yes? He is very proud of it.
[that's what she thinks anyway!! based on everything that she's heard from him....]
Престижные? So you are very important?

[well it's
it's late when she actually comes by to knock on his door, but she will knock politely.]
Nie?
Um... Please open. It is Anya.

[he sounds miserable! this is fine! (he's linked to beau so it is Not Fine.)
he's just settled in a blanket and pillow nest on the floor of the room, sort of curled in on himself but still sitting up, eyes a little red. other people's feelings are Overwhelming.]
Forgive me for not being very presentable, miss Anya.

[ . . . it super isn't fine but.
anya's bringing in a tray of something - it smells good! it's lotus root soup, actually, in case nie would recognize the smell beats me i don't know the canon
but it's here and she is approaching]
'Anya' is okay. [softly, but,]
... You had a not easy time. Приемлемо. No apology.
[and then as if to explain what she has:] Jin Ling likes this soup... I thought maybe you would too. But if do not like, I can make something else.

[he probably does! he'll accept it very carefully, though he's being more careful with how he moves his left arm now.]
No, it's- I truly do appreciate it, Anya.
[after a pause, there, he manages-]
I'm sorry. You stayed with him, didn't you?
No, it's- I truly do appreciate it, Anya.
[after a pause, there, he manages-]

[ . . . . .
ah.
he's taken the soup from her now so she can
completely bend at the waist, bowing her head to him]
... I did.
I am sorry. I did not know sooner - the person he was.

Anya-
[he shakes his head, but holding on to the soup keeps him from doing anything else. trapped by bowl...]
I didn't either, until... until the other night. It really isn't your fault at all.

..... lived with him. Stayed with him. So much time to know.... but did not.
[she doesn’t know if it’s really equivalent - but when she rises, she just hugs her arms around herself and can’t meet his eyes for a moment before she looks up. ]
Сожалею. Because of him, you were in scary place for very long time. People were mad - but it is not because of you that someone got hurt.
I am very sorry.

It couldn't be because of you, either. I don't think someone like that would have let you truly know him.
[there's a short pause, there.]
But I truly do hope you're safer now.

[ . . . She’s quiet at that, but she nods.]
Think so. Think we all are.
[a beat]
I do not know if I can say thank you but.... I think you did something to protect us, too.

-I'm sorry there wasn't another way. I really... really don't know what else could have been done.
[he's not strong enough to have restrained him, or anything... he just sort of had to act.]

....? Why do you say sorry again and again?
Because I still-- I really never wanted to harm anyone here.
[he's still a murderer, even if it was self-defense murder.]
