For the first time in a while, he's in a very good mood. For someone who so recently broke off his marriage, his heart was light. He arranged for Huaisang's room to be facing the peony gardens, to have fresh, high quality wine and tea available, a box of sweets in a box with golden paper, and a set of fine quality paints with colors native to the area in lovely vials set in a basket for when Huaisang retires.
When he goes to greet him though, he has a smaller bundle tucked in his robes. The lotus cusp, proudly on display on his wrist. He enters the room and smiles, relieved that this time the friend is for him not Jin Ling (and he doesn't have to feel guilty since his nephew already has one). He bows politely to the other sect leader. There are other eyes on them or he might have greeted him another way.
"Nie-xiong, it's good to see you. I trust the trip went smoothly?" He asks.

Jingyi smiles brightly. "Great! Well, whenever you feel ready, you're welcome here. I'll clean out the other trunk for you. It.. there's nothing important in there, I've just picked up some random stuff from our travels." He smiles a bit sheepishly. They weren't really supposed to keep so many trinkets but they add up! Especially with Jin Ling as a friend.
"You're also welcome to use my qin until yours is finished. It can take a while for new ones to be crafted. They have to then be blessed and tested. So it's a bit of a process until you have your own."
"Want to keep going or do you want a break to chill in private for a minute? I know this is kind of overwhelming."
