I might have been a poet in another life.

( Airy. )

But how refreshing to have someone not disgruntled with my chatter.

( If Zhou Zishu ever does turn up, then Wen Kexing will use Lan Xichen as a shining example of how someone really should react to him talking. )

But tell me more of Lan Huan, I have talked of myself more than enough. I know of his brother, of his nephew, of his feats in battle, but not of what makes him smile. Is this place so lacking in them?
