[They're never talking about that. Ever. For Reasons.
When Itachi gets there, he'll find Wei Wuxian in the middle of a kidney shaped hole in the ground, sleeves, pant legs, and robes rolled up, and smudges of dirt on his cheek and nose. He wipes his forehead with the back of his hand when Itachi approaches and grins up at him, crawling out onto level ground.]
Hey! Figured if you can fill a lake, you can definitely fill a pond, hmm? Would you mind?
๏ผ it's easy to follow the faint wisps of resentful energy to what is quite obviously an area built for a pond. in taeum, he'd spoken of lotus ponds, and it's obvious by the shape and wei wuxian's triumphant grin that at the very least he's intending a decorative tribute.
itachi kicks a rock off the edge of the pond, noting that its bottom and sides have been reinforced such that the water won't evaporate or seep into the soil, and nods once. he indicates with a gesture that wei wuxian should stand back, and performs the seals for a suiton jutsu. a dragon coalesces in the space of the pond, a flash of bright eyes as it roars with the force of cascading water impacting upon rock, and then collapses on itself. the water rolls gently like an unbroken surf, lapping delicately at the edge of the pond in its wake.
job done, itachi is absolutely just turning to leave, thanks, bye. ๏ผ
[The hell dude. Is Itachi ever going to stop impressing him with his ridiculous powers? Probably not. Wei Wuxian watches the dragon fill the pond with water in obvious delight, smiling as it calls to mind their dragon adventures and then turning to his about-to-vanish friend with a grin.]
Show off. [He reaches for Itachi's arm, catching the fabric of his sleeve and giving it a gentle tug to keep him there.]
[Oh my god you dramatic bitch, he removes his hand!! With a completely unrepentant grin.
Until Itachi's words catch up with him and he pouts.]
You could at least pretend not to know! [The pout doesn't last for long though and the grin comes back a moment later, his excitement at the prospect obvious.] I am! Normally they don't grow at all in the cold but I've arranged for some heating arrays underground to keep the soil around them warm, so we'll see! If they do grow, I'm going to bring you some of the first lotus seeds. Have you tried them before?
[A frown because has he asked that before? Who knows, not him!]
๏ผ he's not terribly adventurous about his food, okay. he eats what works to keep him going, rarely for pleasure unless he's indulging in something sweet, and carries on. ๏ผ

My favorite food is lotus root soup. [He blinks and the moment passes, his grin returning.]
If you like the roots, I'm sure you'll enjoy the seeds. They're very mildly sweet.
