He scoffs at the audacity of Huaisang. What was this act now? They'd been enjoying being so open with one another and now all of a sudden the silly man was getting shy? He rolls his eyes and almost wants to ruffle the pretty one's hair (he won't, that would be terribly inappropriate) but the urge is there.
"Now Huaisang, there's no reason to be coy. You said we were friends. Have I not shared enough embarrassing things with you that you can admit something like this to me? I give you my word, I'm not asking to go tell him. Don't you know me better than that?" Besides, if he ever made the slightest attempt to cause trouble in that marriage, he'd be run through with a thin, icy blade guaranteed.

Lan Zhan startles, a very rare incident Yuan would eventually learn, and looks around at the three boys before figuring out which one was calling him. When he spots the one needing his attention, he is quick to move to his side. "A-Yuan. How are you feeling?" He asks. He picks up from one of the edges of the carriage a water skin and passes it to him. "If it's too painful you can just nod or shake your head."
