Ling fills his cup and Zizhen's before giving Jingyi a look. The Lan disciple glances between the two of them before also chugging his cup and passing it over. Normally he'd be the first to speak up, but he knows how easily he pushes his friend's buttons. Something was wrong and he didn't want to make anything worse.
So he gives Zizhen a brief, grateful smile for being the one to brave breaking the silence. Especially since Jin Ling's first move was to drink at least half his cup of liquor in one gulp.
"Yeah, I think so. I'm not sure," Ling answers unhelpfully. He cradles his glass, looking at it instead of his friends.
"Weren't you just in there with him?" Jingyi asks, carefully.
"No. I was talking with my uncle." Pause. "Wei Wuxian." Since, he has two here.
"Why were you talking to him?" Jingyi prods lightly. Who would go talk to Wei Wuxian (or any uncle) if they were in talking to someone they were clearly so infatuated with?
"To steal his liquor, what's it to you?" Jin Ling snaps, shooting Jingyi a glare.

Wangji bows his head in turn. "La Zhan, courtesy name Wangji. It's an honor." He quietly considers the young man for a moment. "Do you play?" He asks, gesturing to the guqin.
