[ Just a greeting. And a fair warning. This way, if she'd rather not talk, she can hang up before he bothers to lay down the details of another sort-of-favour. ]
[While she hasn't gone out of her way to talk to him, she's not going out of her way to avoid him, either. A show of good faith is keeping the lines of communication open, or so she's heard or read on some magazine cover long ago.]
What can I do for you?
[Because they don't approach one another to just chit chat.]
Nothing yet. But Lan Wangji tells me his soulmate is also at risk of Rathakku's thrall.
From what I can surmise, they're both powerful magic users. And married.
[ Which makes, he can only assume, Wei Wuxian the soulmate in question. ]
They're avoiding the Clawing with closed doors and close attention. I wondered if you could talk to them. Maybe add another to your watch list.
[ It's not fair to ask her to be the final defence for anybody else, but he'd heard soulmate and been unable to help offering to reach out to her for them. No name given to Wangji, not even the suggestion of gender to give away who might be his failsafe: this choice is entirely her own. ]
[She bites her tongue against the urge to make a remark about him caring about a pair of people now, and how he knows using the word "soulmate" would dig under her ribs. But she decides to simply take a breath before replying.]
I'll reach out to Lan Wangji. Can I tell him you brought this to my attention, or should I make it a very strange coincidence?
You can tell him. He knows I'm asking someone to call, just not who.
Thank you, Wanda.
[ He almost ends it there, having impressed enough on her time... but. ]
I never asked, and I'm sorry to bring it up now, but what's the last thing that happened for you? Before coming here.
[ The very last thing. Because the last he saw of her, the Darkhold was falling around her. And if that's the case, all this talk of Clawing and they've never addressed another elephant in the room. ]
Nobody invited you to wizard school, Wanda, you missed every class.
[ That's not her fault. In fact, really, if it's anybody's...
It's said without too much weight, wizard school a flippancy he'd never usually allow if it weren't to soften his own blow. But there's understanding there. How many magic training campuses are there, really? ]

[ The favour's not for his own benefit this time at least, not that the first one had particularly been either. For his peace of mind, maybe. ]
Do you know Lan Wangji? And Wei Wuxian.

The last I remember... I was bringing down the castle.
[To end a few problems, once and for all. However--]
I don't believe I'm a risk. I wasn't quite dead yet.

A moment of quiet, but finally - ]
It worked, by the way. The Darkhold is gone. Entirely.
no subject
Good. I didn't know what it would do to me, when I first got the book. I thought I would be able to resist.
[It's no excuse for all that happened, of course.]
I missed the mystical objects class.

I'll let you go. Thanks for the help.
