Ah, but I'm a genius of sound, Wuxian! Do you think I would settle for second best?
[He's not gonna damage that flute, but he is going to channel soundwaves through it to see if it sounds any different when the tune is coming directly from the instrument itself. Sorry he didn't ask permission first.]
Mm, so it's the humain element that gives the hymne its power, non? Necromancy runs contrary to my raison d'รชtre, so I suppose there's no need for further practice.
[But he will keep the tune in mind in case there's some way in which he can capitalize on it.]
I see... So it's not a magic that stems primarily from oneself. You're something of a conduit, aren't you?
[Curious! It might be fun to pick Wei Wuxian apart and see what special properties his body holds. The splattered remains of his brain matter may hold a clue or two.]
[As opposed to channeling sound, which requires a conduit outside of his own body and a naturally occurring force of physics. It's clear they practice very different forms of magic.]
Out of sheer curiosity, what impact does that have on the body?
Non, non! Not at all! It's poor form to boast when you don't have the capacitรฉ to back it up. That's all. I'm a genius, need I remind you, and you needn't do much more than ask for me to demonstrate the power of audiomancy.
[Meanwhile Merlin refused to show off for him! Huff huff!!]
Ah, truly such a shame! But I'm afraid you aren't alone in that. Our captors have somehow managed to dampen even my incroyable audiomancy! I do wonder how they managed such a feat...
[So yeah, he's not happy about it one bit, but you wouldn't be able to tell by listening to the enthusiastic way in which Lobelia speaks.]

I believe in your ability to get close. We can't be good at everything, can we?

Trying to see for yourself? Iโm afraid it canโt be replicated unless you practice my form of cultivation.

[ Lots of meditation, which he thinks Lobelia probably can't easily do, given his... everything. ]

[ At least, not one that Wei Wuxian is willing to admit to even himself. ]
It's dangerous only as long as you are unable to properly control it.

[Should he dissect the man and find out for himself?]
no subject
No, not at all.
[ It's easier to be vague than to lie anyhow. ]
Have you considered that maybe I am just that great?

[The bigger the ego, the harder the fall.]
In any case, I do hope you'll live long enough to Satisfais-moi. I have little patience for those who baselessly brag and boast, you know.

[ It's not like he can do that here anyway—can't raise the dead when he can't locate the dead to raise. ]
Go ahead, demonstrate your audiomancy for me.
no subject
[But if you insist, Wuwu. Lobelia snaps his fingers, splitting the chair Wei Wuxian's sitting on in half and dumping his ass on the ground.]
1/2
But if Lobelia expects Wei Wuxian to get mad, then he's out of luck. Once that initial surprise fades, he bursts out laughing. ]
Pfft! Hahahahaha! Good one!

I would love to demonstrate my own abilities, but I'm unable to channel them here in the same way I'm used to back home.
no subject
Mm, do you feel as if the รฎle has put a damper on your abilities?

Anyway. ]
As do I. Iโve considered trying to look into it, but I doubt Iโd be successful.

Why not consider striking a deal with them?
