[He sets his plate down, too, so that he can accept the paper with both hands, studying it carefully.]
Do you have a safehouse prepared? [Wei Wuxian may be effectively neutral, but he still has strong enough ties to Xian Le that he can probably pull strings, if he has to.] I can ask Chuuya to reach out to our contacts.
[If they. Actually have any outside the city?? PRESUMABLY THEY DO even though they're pretty territorial... but if not they probably know a guy who knows a guy. Either way Lan Wangji operates on the assumption that Chuuya doesn't tell him everything.]
I've done my best to set up what I can, but any extra help would be appreciated. [He'd rely on pulling those Xian Le strings if he could, but--] I don't want anyone in Xian Le to risk seeming like they're favoring me, you know?
[Jiang Cheng had sure made that reminder blatant! But he hadn't been wrong - Wei Wuxian knows he'd lost rights to requests and expectations the second he set foot outside of Westside.]
Mm. [Wei Wuxian isn't wrong, though Lan Wangji's thinking of other things.] It may draw unwanted attention.
[It's Moris who are being kidnapped, but that doesn't mean Xian Les aren't being targeted in different ways. Chuuya does his best to keep his people in line, but he can't control everything, and with the violence spilling into Middleton as it has been, anyone with Xian Le ties is going to get looked at unfavorably, to say the least.]
[He sighs as he nods his agreement, slipping back into his chair like his body's just a little heavier than it was moments earlier.]
It might, and that's the last thing I want. We've already got something of a target on our backs.
[Considering they're harboring kidnapping victims... Even though Brie can't talk well with her tongue cut and Bianca and Bennett never made it to the warehouse, he wouldn't be surprised if the people responsible wanted to shut them up for good, anyway.]
[A small nod; he knows exactly what Wei Wuxian's talking about. He's thought, more than once, about asking Chuuya to send Mori guards to Yiling Ridge, but he'd ultimately decided that that was going to draw more attention than they wanted.]
Have the safety measures been working? [HAVE ANY CHICKENS TRIPPED THE ALARMS]
