[ Lifting an eyebrow at this sudden change in tune. As in stupid, taunting double doggy dares as in raising stakes at the card table, there comes a time he can usually expect the other party to back down and reasonably disengage from his bullshit (whether it be losing the patience to humor him, or the wherewithal to keep bluffing him). ]
Cured yourself of performance anxiety that fast?
[ No shot he's going to take him up on serenading, right? ... And in front of people?
On that note, do not perceive him and his capacity to be guilt tripped. Sizhui already has power beyond that of the average man. ]

oh my GOSH you have no idea how pleased that makes me 🥹 you finally see the boy...
[this isn't sizhui's first go-around with being teased; he has other friends who have coerced him into things before and, for the most part, they haven't gone horrifically sideways! what's wrong with singing in front of people, besides not sounding the greatest? he's not even drunk, so he won't stumble over himself, get sick or anything extra silly like that.
any actual serenading will take a bit more coaxing, though.]
Not necessarily. More like I'm pushing through it for the sake of getting out there! Of trying something I wouldn't normally do!
[and no worries there, he may have perceived but he won't be outright, especially not when he has to concentrate on making sure he doesn't lose his cool. it wouldn't do for him to abandon where he's posted up now, not when some people are already watching him.]
[ By the Light, more exclamation points. Sizhui is either fantastically talented at pretending to fall prey to coercion for the long play, or this is... not going quite the way he thought. ]
Oh, now you want to switch careers to performer? I thought your signed your life away to do whatever it is your clan does. Oaths and all that.
[ Or is that just Aes Sedai? ]
Is this some kind of commentary about trying new healing arts when in a new place?
[can it be a little of both? because it might be a little of both; sizhui's easily coerced, particularly when it comes to handsome men who want him to sing, apparently.]
The nice thing about my clan is I can do just about whatever I want, as long as it doesn't break the rules.[of which there are four thousand but hey, when you've studied them for so long, you find the loopholes.]
Maybe! I'm always up for learning new things and healing arts are important, after all. My aunt knew all sorts of ways to heal people; she would be proud of me for branching out, especially when learning things like healing and medicine.
