I have a need to hire a writer. I aim to be bonded officially to my wife as soon as I have the appropriate vows written, but words are not my area of expertise. I therefore ask this community to help me compose my bond vows. I will compensate you for your contribution, should I judge your writing worthy of my use.

[ ....... ]

I also have need of coin. I have the money that came with me through the mirror, but the currency here is not the same. For now, I can pay you in silver or gold. If that is unacceptable, then as soon as someone can point me to a means of income then I will pay you in the local tender.

That is all.

you just might be surprised.

but in the end shijie doesn't want the perfect words. she wants your words. speak from the heart and complete your bond, before she realizes she has options.

[ He'd like to think Yanli wouldn't turn him away in favor of bonding with someone else (aside from Jiang Wanyin, who she has already bonded with). There's room in her heart for both familial and romantic bonds. Right?

Shame that matters concerning his wife are the one area in which Jin Zixuan lacks his typical peacock confidence. ]

I hate to say it, but you're right. I will get past whatever hurdle is stopping me, and bond with her right away.

[weiward]

[the whole world could fit in jiang yanli's heart, that's his belief.]

see, you're getting better with your words already.

[jin zixuan telling him that he's right...it almost gives him the creeps.]

besides, you still have other things to consider. like how you're going to support her and jin ling.

[disasterstraight]

[ You couldn't just take the compliment could you? You had to turn it into a jab. ]

I intend to look at this "board" to see what work is available that would suit my skill set.

That is, unless you have a better suggestion?

[weiward]

vegetable farming.

[disasterstraight]

Don't be ridiculous.

[weiward]

what's ridiculous? vegetables don't grow and harvest themselves. you have a capable body and the manure can't smell any worse than it did at the wens.

pick some peppers for me.

[disasterstraight]

I am not picking you any peppers.

[ Says the pompous prick to the pigheaded punk. ]

Surely I would be better suited to some kind of work that would actually use the skills I have honed through years of cultivation. Swordwork, archery, anything other than gardening.

[weiward]

[say that three times fast!]

uh huh.

it's fine, i'll be here to support shijie and jin ling.

[and by 'he' he actually means 'lan zhan', of course.]

[disasterstraight]

I will support them! Do not presume to imply that I am incapable of providing for my family, Wei Wuxian.

[weiward]

bond with shijie and get a job, jin zixuan

[disasterstraight]

I will. But not because you're ordering me to. Because it is right and just.
