[ His smile grows despite himself, fond and just a little bit wry.

Lan Xichen himself had asked the exact same question only recently, when realizing that speaking frankly was the best way to tackle his rather bold suggestion of a partnership for synchrony with Wanyin. It occurs to him now, to wonder if perhaps his nephew had not done the same thing.

If perhaps that might not be what he is here to talk about, and he shifts his thoughts a little, away from the concern about what had upset him and potentially towards an entirely different matter. ]

Please do. It seems as though this may be one of those matters that would benefit from frank discussion.

[oddly enough, seeing the faint lilt in his uncle's smile sort of further eases sizhui's nervousness, has his own lips upturning momentarily before he purses them again. what will be even weirder is if they decide to discuss their parallels aloud but, given who they are, perhaps it wouldn't seem that strange after all.

(it's not like he doesn't know a strong bond has formed between lan xichen and jiang cheng! but please, spare him any excess details—)

he reaches for his teacup, presses his fingertips firmly against it, swallowing hard then opening his mouth to, as he'd admitted, say in the frankest manner possible:] I met somebody here. Someone I've been— [a beat] —regularly syncing with. [a lot harder to say aloud than he'd been initially expecting but whoomp, there it is!] And I wanted to know if... if you might be interested in meeting him?
