[ He hums, the sound caught somewhere between reverence and delight. None of his own hunts have led him to quite so auspicious an endpoint, but it makes complete sense to him that Lan Wangji would be bright and interesting enough to have caught one's attention. To even cross paths with one! Or is the other way around, now? He tells himself that's what the undercurrent running beneath his skin is, that he is maybe luckier than the spirit had been. Not only does his path cross Lan Wangji's, but falls in alongside it. Again. Auspicious all its own, perhaps, to have one of the Jades of Lan appear at his call. It's really more power than he should be given.
He strays away instead of answering, off the path and into the grasses to collect his wayward mount. Little Apple responds much more willingly when he's armed and ready with the right reward and it takes little to no coaxing to convince it to wander back to the lantern light of Lan Wangji's whites in the moonlight.
All the things they need to broach and still polite conversation feels safest. ]
Aii, they're not worth the breath, yet. You don't want to hear about them! Save it for if they work, at least that'll be something. Then you can marvel at my genius. How is your brother? Is he still in seclusion?
