Yuan takes everything in with interest, starting to build up a better mental picture of where everything is - the quicker he can find his way around Cloud Recesses, the better, he doesn't want to embarrass himself again. The library fascinates him now that he actually gets a chance to look at it - he's never seen so many books in one place, and he suspects he'll be spending quite a lot of his free time exploring here.
The dining hall is intimidating, but he just sticks by Jingyi's side and tries his best to follow all the rules he's being told, mimicking the way the other disciples are acting.
He smiles and greets everybody he's introduced to, though as Jingyi suspects he is hopelessly lost with everybody's names. He bites back a laugh at the comment - he's so glad to have Jingyi at his side, because he feels like an awful lot of people are staring at him.

Zizhen finds he doesn't actually mind taking a nap with Jin Ling curled up at his side. There's nothing inappropriate about it, it's just warm and comfortable and he's happy to give that kind of comfort to his friend when he clearly needs it - he knows they'd both rather be snuggled up to other people, but it's kind of nice to be able to have that closeness as friends, in Zizhen's opinion. He suspects it won't last after Jin Ling's feeling better.
He looks up when Liling enters, noting the look on her face as well - she seems so flustered by something and he's honestly intrigued.
He pats Jin Ling on his back when he chokes, but really he's in just as much shock and he's almost doing it on autopilot. Jin Ling's uncle just broke off the wedding to his cousin, how could he have taken somebody to his bed so soon?
"...who is it?" he asks slowly, and he doesn't know whether he's appalled on his cousin's behalf or just really, really interested. Who else is even here? Or is it a Jin?
