You owe me quite a bit indeed! And that is better than nothing of course. It must be lavish.

He left me on read.

[inventive]

You can host, if you'd like, the Lan sect has terrible banquets.

Talk to him in person. He's not gonna respond to a question like that over messages.

[eternalgrief]

I would be honored and certainly you can't let the Lan sect host it. I'll make sure there is plenty of wine flowing.

Maybe I should take the non-answer as a sign.

[inventive]

Nah, you just have to be persistent. He's not good with processing things like that. Ask in person.

[eternalgrief]

But in person he could throttle me.

[inventive]

His bark is worse than his bite, he won't throttle you. I bugged him all the time and he never throttled me that much!

[eternalgrief]

You never bothered him about something like this I'm sure! Men can be quite unreasonable about these things.

[inventive]

Uh huh and who told me to gain some courage and talk to Lan Zhan, who is also unreasonable?

Talk to him. Or I'll talk to him for you.

[eternalgrief]

No! You can't talk to him. They're also different kinds of unreasonable but fine...

I'll talk to him in person.

[inventive]

They're different but still unreasonable. Have you tried arguing with Lan Zhan?

Do it soon, so when I tell Jiang Cheng about eloping he's too distracted to yell at me.

[eternalgrief]

The situation is quite different, you know! He obviously loved you and we don't even know if Jiang Cheng is interested in men at all. Maybe I'll just tell him you guys eloped and then ask so it won't seem like such a big deal.

[inventive]

Oh that would save me so much trouble, you can do that. And then he'll be annoyed enough that he'll be honest and not get flustered.

[eternalgrief]

Right. Sure he will. It won't make him forget about you.

[inventive]

He might be so overcome with shock from both the news and the question that he falls silent.

[eternalgrief]

I doubt this is going to go as well as you think it is.

[inventive]

It'll be great! When have I ever been wrong?

[eternalgrief]

Do you want me to answer that honestly?

[inventive]

Are you saying I'm wrong, Nie Huaisang?

[eternalgrief]

I’m saying you could be.

[inventive]

I'm so injured, Huaisang, my honor has been tarnished.

[eternalgrief]

I'm sure you will survive.

[inventive]

It's been tarnished worse in the past, so yeah.

[eternalgrief]

I really think this conversation isn’t going to go well with him.
