"Oh, I'm sure," Huaisang says firmly. Lan Zhan is actually marginally more his type, though he does prefer his men more expressive, but he decides not to share that little tidbit.
There's sympathy in his gaze at that last muttered comment, but only a little, and he decides not to make a big deal of it, instead he just shrugs casually.
"I thought he was great, I'm impressed by his skill, I respect him as a friend and ally... but I'm not attracted to him." He explains easily - he doesn't intend to sing Wei Wuxian's praises in front of his brother, but he also knows Wanyin will be far more likely to believe him if he's honest about how he feels. "I was never attracted to him."

Home.
There's a tiny spring of hope, somewhere deep in his chest, a longing ache - home and family, it's what he's always wanted. But can it really be home without Jin Ling? He rubs his fingers idly over the ring he's wearing, a calming reminder that Jin Ling was always going to love him, would always be with him in a way - just not the way he really wants.
He's nervous, too, because it's Cloud Recesses. He knows the Lan clan from what people say about them - upstanding, honourable, kind of prudish...
"But I'm..." he says softly, looking down "I'm not... could I really be welcome in such a place?"
