 t's very, very cold. It's cold enough that you'll see your breath fog in the air before you, that goosebumps appear on your arms and legs and a chill goes up your spine. You're inside, in a huge palace with sweeping arches and rooms, but it's no real shelter from the cold -- it's just as cold inside as out.
There's a throne room, a kitchen, various rooms and even a dungeon to be explored -- and outside, a frigid, frozen garden, a lake that's naturally frozen over, and miles, and miles of snow as far as the eye can see.
But be careful while you explore. The snowflake soldiers are naturally dangerous, but even more dangerous than that...there's that creeping sensation of numbness going up your arm, a pang through your chest, and the slow, slow freezing from the inside out.
Try not to leave any of your friends behind, okay? Even if they might look a bit too uncannily like some of the statues hanging around for decoration when they're frozen over.

But the lips. The lips? This is his second kiss in his entire life, and it was with a man! As for his first kiss, he never knew who the maiden was. He wants to cry out and shake his fist at the unfairness of the universe.
(Some part of his mind chooses that moment to observe what his reflection had, a couple weeks ago, to wit: Archer is very good looking. Unsurprisingly, this does not help in the slightest)
His brain is a mess and he freezes. He doesn't move from his position, although his eyes definitely widen. ]

Oh, can it be? Wuxian, can you hear me? Are you alive? [ It seems he’s as shocked as the guy is that it fucking worked! He’ll have to give Mr. Andersen his regards when he returns to base. ]

My dear Archer, I had no idea you felt that way~!
[ Option two is channelling Senior Mo and freaking owning this mess. If Archer flees, he'll count it as a win. ]

[ He seems perplexed for a moment, frowning at this strange response… ]
2/2
You are well!
[ Look at him; he’s so relieved he’s practically sparkling. ]

You! You're not supposed to do that! You're supposed to say, why are you touching me! Or, I didn't mean it like that! I was only kissing you to wake you up, don't get the wrong idea!

Someone as guileless as Archer should be simple to prank. He ought to be as easy a mark as Lan Wangji was, back in the day. But instead he just looks confused, an expression that—if Wei Wuxian’s ranting continues—will turn into a kicked puppy expression. Which, no. That isn’t any fun at all.
He throws up his hands and sighs. ]
You really are too pure for this world.
no subject
I’m…sorry? [ Should he be sorry? Stay tuned and find out. ]
no subject
That's all. You can go. Unless...
[ He touches the tips of his fingers to his mouth, his eyes alight, as if he's had a fantastic idea. ]
You want to sit with me, we'll attract more attention that way!
[ Archer's red hair will shine out like a beacon to the maidens. A girl kind enough to kiss one of them would naturally kiss both. ]
no subject
Certainly, if we wait any longer we shall be beset by the guardians of this castle. [ Is that…his plan? Why does he keep trying to attract monsters to himself, anyway? ]
Now that you are well, perhaps you should get some rest. It must have been harrowing for you, to have remained frozen so.
no subject
Being frozen? No, it's like napping. Really. I didn't mind it at all!
[ .........
Ugh fine! Archer's confused, pure face is too much for him. He throws up his hands. ]
I was just trying to get kisses! I got wept on, before! I was hoping for a pretty maiden, but instead I got you!
no subject
Ah, forgive me. I thought… [ Give him a moment— ] So you were seeking to take advantage of the women trapped within this castle.
[ Hmm, you’d better start explaining yourself, WuXian. ]
1/2
[ He crosses his arms, indignant. ]
If a maiden doesn't want to kiss me, she can simply keep walking. A maiden who does, will feel that she's done a good deed. She'll feel happy. You were happy, remember!
no subject
Why were you so happy anyway? That was ridiculous.
[ ....why is he using Lan Wangji's favorite word? Don't ask him, he has no idea. ]
no subject
You’ve succumbed to the enchantment for my sake. [ But then again, if Wuxian had been playing around… ]
At least…I thought you had. I did not want you to suffer simply because you chose to shatter the mirror to spare me.
no subject
[ He sighs. More seriously, he adds: ]
Don't apologize for something that wasn't your fault. The one responsible isn't you, but whoever created those mirrors in the first place.
no subject
Although Tristan doesn’t mind it himself, whoops. ]
That would make me very sad indeed…
no subject
Don't get sad for no reason! Honestly! It's like you seek these things out!
no subject
You are too kind a person to suffer from such a terrible curse as that.
