Perhaps, but what excuse would we have to all go out together?[also: will lan wangji be accompanying them?]
I'm sorry, Xian-gege. I've just gotten used to being the one who looks after everyone else while they drink. Ah, but if you had this sort of tolerance, it would truly be much easier for... a lot of people.
Doesn't the great Hanguang Jun suggest cultivators go where the chaos is? Whether great or small? Surely it's never a bad time for juniors to gain experience. [If Wei Wuxian has any say in the matter, absolutely.]
If all else fails. I can be VERY convincing.
I'm sure you'll have plenty of opportunities to play mother hen to the other fledglings. Would it be easier? I can't recall the last time I was too drunk to walk home, but I'm happy to make the attempt the next chance I get~
That's true, yes, and there's always chaos to quell somewhere. It leaves us with plenty of practice to be had.[rest assured, there's a high chance he will, which means if hanguang-jun is accompanying—]
I'm certain you can. I'll have to do my best to not make a fool of myself.
So far, it's what I am best at. Easier on everybody's pockets, perhaps, though I cannot speak for whoever may be trying to take you home. Since you shouldn't go alone.
Good. You are of course supposed to stay and listen to your teacher and show proper respect, but there are many kinds of lessons to be learnt. Sometimes the lesson is to make the smart choice, not the respectful one. Learn from Jin Ling. He treats me with respect but he isn't blindly obedient. I wish he were a little bit MORE obedient instead of running into danger all the time and forcing me to chase after
I'm picking up what you're putting down.[thanks, jingyi.]Which is to say I understand, I should extricate myself from the situation rather than just letting it happen.
[sizhui stops between messages, mostly because he reads ‘learn from jin ling,’ and has to muffle a laugh in his sleeve. he somehow knew jiang cheng was going to backpedal from that, but just for fun, what happens if he plays along?]
I don't know, he seems a good example, the danger aside.[the mouthiness, his hair-trigger temper, and extraordinary pride.]
Would you rather we be loud and boastful? Jingyi doesn't seem to have a problem with that.[like, he loves you, chicken boy, but you're the most un-lan to ever lan.
whereas hanguang-jun is the direct opposite (with maybe a few exceptions).]
You also just told me that sometimes, I shouldn't be so respectful.[do you see where he's coming from? be nice to his boyfriend.]
I'm not, I've stood up for myself before, but perhaps he can help me do better? Everyone can always stand to learn something, after all.[but he is respectful, g o s h!!
as back and forth as it is, at least sizhui's understanding most of it? ‘most’ being the keyword.]
I'm self-assured without being loud.[in more ways than one—]Yes, he is, he's just, ah... far spunkier than some of us.
He isn't "spunky" he talks without ever thinking before he speaks! Not even Jin Ling talks as much as that friend of yours.
Maybe learn a little from both of them. But not too much. If you lose all your good manners Lan Wangji will never let me hear the end of it. [ Maybe not with words but he knows the looks would be withering. ]
Oh, but imagine having them together when there's no one else around! They're both going nonstop, it's... really quite astounding.
I'll do that, though. The good things I can learn from both of them put together should be enough without my manners taking too much of a hit.[and thankfully, sizhui knows what's proper and what is not.]
