[ The day after Lan Wangji drops off the sketch, Wen Qing leaves a note for Lan Xichen, dropping it off in the middle of the night so she doesn't run into him. ]

Your artistic talent is appreciated, Sect Leader Lan. You have my gratitude for your kindness.

[lanclan]

Lady Wen is most welcome. If you would like anything else painted, please let me know and I would be happy to accommodate.

[silverneedles]

I would not want to impose, Sect Leader.

[lanclan]

No imposition. The offer stands, kindly intended.

[silverneedles]

Do you have stories about him, from his youth?

[lanclan]

Many.
It took some years for Wangji to finish his seclusion, by then I had spent a significant amount of time with Sizhui.

He never cried for long, was always well-behaved at meal-times especially, and he enjoyed playing in the mountain's first snowfall of that initial year a great deal.

He liked to learn calligraphy in my lap, before Wangji took over his lessons.

Sometimes he slept with me in the hanshi when he missed others very much: he had a habit of clinging, but on the whole he was a brave little boy.

It is a comfort to know he had your support during those years, and grew up loved. It helped make him the admirable young man he is today.
