[ For a moment it looks like he might say something else, then it passes like a cloud behind the sunny smile that melts easily back into place. He pats Wen Kexing's hand and takes his back to sip his wine with. ]

I know. I was a shell of myself when you found me, now I'm more of the man I used to be because of you. Wen Kexing is always welcome in Gusu Lan, should you find your way there.

[wifedup]

( A hum. )

I'd say you'd be welcome in Mount Qingya, but the devils would probably eat you alive. A nice boy like you wouldn't even get you through the gate.

[lanclan]

Wen Kexing underestimates how many devils I have faced in the past, and handled.

[ Siiiiip! ]

Nice boys enjoy swords too.

[wifedup]

( Easily. )

Even better, kill them all for me. Well, the men. The women who end up in the Valley deserve a second chance.

[lanclan]

I've suddenly become a lieutenant! The honour is all mine.

[ Drink finished, he rises from his seat and gives Wen Kexing a nod. There is something small and prickly deep in his chest and he would rather leave to examine it in the privacy of his own thoughts and space. ]

Please let Zhou Zishu know I will be contacting him soon in order to arrange a meeting between us. I really must be going.

[wifedup]

Ah.

( Startled, he peers at Lan Xichen. But he won't press, and so he smiles a little, easy. )

All right, all right. But we'll see each other soon, won't we? Be good, call me if you need me.

[lanclan]

You be good too, I will know if you haven't.

[ He taps him on the head once as if to chastise, eyes bright with good humour as he heads to the door. ]

And eat something, for me? Don't only drink today.

[wifedup]

Yes, mother.

( A laugh, a wave. )

You too. Otherwise the girls will be cross.

[lanclan]

Mm, I wouldn't want that. Goodnight, Wen Kexing.

[ In a flutter of blue, he's gone. ]
