"Me?" Zizhen shakes his head "I barely even knew this place existed."

Yuan, meanwhile, is looking around. The place is so clean and tidy and calm, he thinks he might have fallen a little bit in love with it already. The views are particularly stunning, the garden is beautiful, it feels so far from anywhere else he's ever been - the Golden Hare had been ostentatious in a tacky way, desperately showing off wealth that wasn't really there, the gold all simply painted on. Carp Tower had been the most opulent, wonderful place he'd ever seen. This, though? It had an understated elegance, obvious wealth without showing off, there was something wonderful about that.

Zizhen is sitting at the table partly to wait for tea and partly because he doesn't dare stray too far - it's alright for Yuan, this is his home now, but he's too scared to touch anything.

Yuan does come back and join them at the table eventually, sitting down with a smile.

"This place is beautiful." he comments "Cloud Recesses, I mean, not just here."

What he'd seen of it walking up, anyway. He can't wait to see more.
