Nie Mingjue returned the greeting of the young man, unfamiliar with the face and he struggled to place his name. There were plenty men and their families and disciples here that he couldn't recall much information about, if he knew them at all.
His stomach churned when his saber was brought up. Perhaps it was the alcohol he already consumed didn't appreciate the lack of any other substance there to soak it up. He had never been one to consume a lot but it helped take off the edge of anxiousness that came with being surrounded by the chatter of others as of late.
"My saber's name is Baxia," he replied, sounding almost awkwardly, glancing at Deng Rong before he poured himself another drink.
deng rong was a faceless legend in the minds of many , a little fairytale that most people didn't care about because it wasn't possible to manipulate the weather to his will ; and it wasn't . rong had no idea how he does it , jin clan has had cloudy weather ever since rong had stepped into these lands . and sitting with such big men , leaders of bigger clans than his , wasn't something he wanted to do for his clan . war had ruined them , they couldn't even think about a sneak attack and the jins knew it . just as good as rong knew , that he had to sit with a welcoming smile , pretty twitch of his lips as they asked him about his father — withering away in front of his eyes . nie mingjue earns his respectful bows even when he doesn't probably wait for them , he's seated beside him . it's quieter , jin leader busy with his other business associates and thankfully had stopped talking to rong . his shoulders relax , long fingers toying with each other as he glances around , stares a little too long at the sword seated beside him . between him and nie mingjue . ❛ what is your sword named , nie-gongzi ? ❜ he mumbles with an air of exhaustion , without looking up , with a small smile . / @dreams-of-fate [ nie mingjue ]

an unexpected arrival. (A PROMPT LIST!)
so a lovely anonymous angel asked for a list of prompts relating to an unexpected pregnancy, and i made a list! i have two other lists over on my other blog that i'm gonna reblog over here, but there may be some slight overlap with these; however, unlike the other two lists, these focus exclusively on the unexpected part. DON'T ADD TO THIS LIST, DON'T CLAIM IT AS YOUR OWN! but do have a tonne of fun with them!
" so, remember last week, when i had the flu and i couldn't leave my house? turns out it wasn't the flu. i'm pregnant. "
" i'm telling you about this baby because you deserve to know. that's all. i don't expect anything from you. i don't need you to step up or whatever. i just thought you ought to know. "
" i'm sure you don't need to be reminded, but... getting pregnant wasn't exactly part of the whole life plan. "
" you're sure? i mean, you did the test properly? maybe it was a false positive. or, or maybe you didn't read the results right... "
" a baby... well. that certainly complicates things, doesn't it? "
" i don't even know if i want kids. "
" could you please just stop reminding me that this isn't part of the plan?! you think i don't know that?! we're having a baby, i'm terrified enough without you reminding me! "
" look. i'm/you're not the first person to get pregnant, and i/you won't be the last. we're gonna figure it out, alright? "
" my place isn't even close to being big enough for a baby... they need so much stuff. cribs, prams, diaper stations... and my neighbors complain enough as it is, they'll evict me if i have a screaming baby as well... "
" hey... why don't you move in with me? i've got plenty of space, and my walls are thick, so the baby could scream as loud as they want. you could stay as long as you like. "
" should... we get married? i mean, that's what you do, isn't it? when someone's having a baby? "
" okay, we're not getting married. i mean, i appreciate the gesture, but... there's plenty of single parents out there. what's one more, right? "
" god... we are so stupid. i mean, seriously! any idiot knows that condoms aren't 100% effective! if we're dumb enough to forget that, how are we meant to look after a baby?! "
" you... you're kidding, right? this is a joke? it's a fake pregnancy test, some weird, slightly out of touch belated april fool's prank? "
" it's honestly insane that we didn't figure it out sooner... i mean, those were some wild cravings, right? "
" when you say late... do you mean like, a few days? or are we talking... months? "
" no, no, this... it changes everything. EVERYTHING. i... i don't know if i'm ready for this, i don't think i'm parent material, i... "
" hey. you're not alone. you got that? it takes a village, right? i'm gonna help you every step of the way. we all will. this kid, if you choose to go through with it... they'd be okay. "
" you know i support you. whatever choice you end up making. i will always be by your side. okay? "
" if this is some weird idea of a joke, i have to tell you, it's not funny. i mean, you're having a baby AND i'm somehow the dad? a little much, no? "
" no, i want to step up. it took two of us to make this baby, and i want to make sure you know that, if you go ahead with this, there's gonna be two of us to raise them, too. "
" the father doesn't believe that the baby is his. "
" okay. so screw the father. i'm going to be here to help you. okay? we'll parent this kid so well, they'll never want to know who their real dad is. "
" so... you wanna tell me who the father is? "
" the surprise baby is actually not just one baby. we're having twins/triplets/etc. "
" hey, hey... don't worry, okay? it's alright. it's all going to be okay. condoms break, yeah? it's no biggie... "
" what do you mean, you think?! haven't you taken a pregnancy test yet? "
" that's a lot of pregnancy books you got there... got something you want to tell me? "
" have you told the father yet? "
" i guess, seeing how you rushed over here so fast to tell me the news, that you think the baby is mine? "
" look, we both made plans, right? and obviously shit happens, but... a baby is a pretty massive deal. "
" how many other people have you told about the pregnancy? "
" what do you want to do? "

From the Meishan.Yu sect, Deng Wanqing is cousin to the sect leader's children. As the only daughter out of five siblings, she's both been indulged lovingly by her elder brothers and able to get away with a few things over the years by her parents.
Of course because of that, Wanqing became a young woman set in her own ways when it came to what she studied and resistance to marry at an average age for most. It was viewed a bit problematic by others but she often laughed or shrugged it off. Marriage simply wasn't an interest at the time.
And from early on - everyone who got close enough to her would figure out she had the true heart of an auntie, even before any nieces and nephews appeared into her life.
