Lan Zhan is quiet for a while as all the rabbits seem to come out from wherever they were resting to sit around him. A few brave or curious ones also circle around Yuan, finding his presence also pleasantly calm. His scent is stronger with some of the lingering perfumes of Lanling on him, which keep a few of the more shy bunnies away.
Stroking a rabbit's forehead with his finger, he begins to talk quietly. "If one of the kits were to get scared and nip my finger should I blame it? Did it do anything wrong? It doesn't haven't experience yet just instinct. And if you look at it from my point of view, a tiny cut on my hand is such a minor injury. I've been to war. I've watched loved ones die. I've watched this very place that I love burn. What real pain do I feel from something so trivial?"
His gaze turns from the rabbit to Yuan. "You're like one of these rabbits, Yuan. You might see a cut or a spot of blood but I see a little white rabbit learning to trust and relying on whatever instinct he has. This is not a bad thing and it's not costing me what you think it is. Be patient and be at peace, Little Rabbit.
