Yes.

Do not accuse others.

[HE'S GETTING A PIECE OF PAPER OUT OF HIS BASKET.]

What--you didn't tell me, though!

[he is getting genuinely aggravated again; Lan Wangji can tell]

[pauses in whatever he was starting to do with the paper and lets out a breath; more quietly]

Seldom intend action without your knowledge. I do not prize it. Do not say this.

You are usually perceptive.

Perhaps, because you thought us enemies.

[his mouth thins, but he doesn't retort further.]

[...

waits for a response for a minute and breathes out a near-sigh when one doesn't appear to be forthcoming...]

[LISTEN SOMETIMES THE CHOICE IS 'NO ANSWER' OR 'AN ANGRY ANSWER' AND OCCASIONALLY WEI WUXIAN IS CAPABLE OF PICKING THE FIRST ONE]

[he's left in silence to think about it for a little bit, anyway; Lan Wanji is writing something.]

[shifts a little restlessly, but doesn't actually break from his tense pose much]

[...he's still writing...]

[OKAY THIS STATE OF AFFAIRS WILL CONTINUE UNTIL HE FINISHES, HAVE MERCY]

[never!!

...

looks up when he's done, sincere]

...

Do not be angry.

[just gives him a look; he can't turn it off even if he's being restrained about it]

[is he really that mad that Lan Wangji didn't accept total responsibility for what Wei Wuxian refused to see...?

...he can't do anything about that. Wei Wuxian is determined to blame him; all right.

shakes his head a little, hands him the paper, and stands up, moving a few feet away to look out over the rest of the cemetery]

[HE'S VERY GOOD AT DRAWING HIS OWN CONCLUSIONS ABOUT WEI WUXIAN'S FEELINGS

looks at the paper]

[his biggest conclusion is that he wishes he knew how to make Wei Wuxian un-angry :( but, well.

the paper has a list written on it.]
