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.]
No. I have no wishes, as it would feel like cheating myself out of the place I've arrived at due to my own choices. And... I'm powerful enough. I don't want to attract more trouble.
[ He's confident in his own choices and mistakes, to the point he'd rather not try to go fix them, which is why he takes this question so seriously. ]
That said, I wouldn't hold it against anyone who does work with them in exchange for something.

No, not at all.
[ It's easier to be vague than to lie anyhow. ]
Have you considered that maybe I am just that great?
no subject
[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.

[ Despite his question there's... not really much judgment coming from him. He's genuinely curious. ]

[ 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?
no subject
[ It sucks to admit, but at least he's being honest about it. ]
no subject
[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.]
no subject
Anyway. ]
As do I. Iโve considered trying to look into it, but I doubt Iโd be successful.
no subject
Why not consider striking a deal with them?
no subject
[ He grins, giving Lobelia a shrug. ]
I don't like when people tell me what to do, so I'm sure you can imagine I'm not too keen on a compromise with them.
no subject
[Not that such an offer is on the table, but everyone has a negotiating point.]
