( How easily he gives up parts of himself. If Wen Kexing were in a mind to abuse his trust it would prove far too easy. But, well. He isn't. There's very little point right now. Unless Lan Xichen proves to be the mastermind behind all of this - doubtful - then Wen Kexing will do nothing but take him at face value. )
People are complicated, that's true. ( He does it himself, Philanthropist Wen. But usually the air of playful confidence is enough to soften the blow. Nobody can accuse him of lying if he only ever delivers the words with an air of mischief. ) And goodness can mean many things. But I'll believe it of you. You've fed me, helped house me, and I a relative stranger who merely encouraged a bit of ... borrowing. ( A teasing smile. ) Have your friends returned your missive about the spice? I hope they appreciate the thought.
