[ it's nice, having someone else with similar sensibilities and style and taste. just two sect leader/peak lords. it makes shen qingqiu easier to approach, and so lan xichen does, to talk about his experiences out of the lodge. he desperately wants to compare notes to figure out this place.

lan xichen has made them tea, as they sit somewhere cozy in the lodge so they can chat. ] Thank you for agreeing to tell me about your experiences. I found mine to be rather bizarre and I wondered if everyone's was like that.
