Curse with(out) a cure
WHO: Xie Lian and mostly Wei Wuxian, but open to people who want to chat up a half-naked god.
WHEN: After Xie Lian is let out of the brig
WHERE: on the deck of one of the ships
WHAT: Cleaning up after the brig will bring some... revelations about Xie Lian, of the visible kind
WARNINGS: Curse explanations might delve into explanations of why they were put on, which include war, genocide, and Xie Lian basically being really awful to a lot of people, and killing a whole lot.
[A day in the brig was certainly not the most uncomfortable Xie Lian has been in his life - he could have called it downright cozy, to be quite honest. But still, once he's out, he's happy to finally scrub some of the grime off.
A half cut barrel full of questionably clean, non-salty water is all he needs, and he shrugs off the top of his robes to wash off with a cloth.
Now, you may not all know Xie Lian is a god, but some people have seen him fight and literally punch through things. He is, after all, a martial god. And while his frame is still mostly slim, because his body is still that of a teenager, it's easy enough to see he's pretty buff and packing at least some muscle on that frame.
And then, of course, there's the mark around his neck, the one usually hidden with a bandage. To most people, it will mostly appear as slightly incongruous tattoo. To people sensitive to these things though, it becomes quite obvious what this is : a curse mark.
And a very powerful one, given that it's constraining the rather enormous amount of qi Xie Lian has, cutting it off almost by half.]
