He really does have a true friend. Too bad he's too busy wallowing to notice yet. He's only grateful for more booze. Fortunately there's food coming so this bout of poor decision making was going to get slowed up to a degree.
Another reason he'd just found a true friend is Huaisang laughing at his inappropriate joke about family. It would've been so easy to take his comment to heart and gotten sad or hurt by it. As his sworn brother has discovered time and time again, little progress has been made on Wanyin's ability to curb what comes out of his mouth when his emotions get the better of him. What he says, luckily, doesn't always reflect what he actually feels.
"People are fools." He has no idea why Huaisang, even though he's a twit, hasn't found some strong man or woman to take care of him. In all likelihood, a man, but he wasn't the sort to doubt the ferocity of the opposite gender. Although another look at his dinner guest and he finds himself smiling just a little. No, a man. Only another man would put up with his nonsense. A man would find Huaisang helplessness cute while a woman would never put up with that bullshit. He thinks back over the years at some of the utter ridiculousness this man has done and..
"Hmm?" His gaze moves from where it had settled on the soft, pale skin of Huaisang's throat to his eyes. What was just asked? He hasn't the foggiest idea. "My apologies, Nie-zongzhu, I may not be the best company tonight. Perhaps you'll indulge your friend in some news from Qinghe?"
