[oh no...

squeezes his hand, for reassurance :(]

[laughitoff]

D-don't worry about me, this isn't a big deal for me!

[strikingchords]

No?

[laughitoff]

No! I'm just worried about you, ah.

[strikingchords]

[...shakes his head...]

Do not.

[laughitoff]

I shouldn't be concerned that at this rate you'll never actually experience kissing someone you like?

[strikingchords]

...

[they keep walking for a bit... abrupt]

You said you had kissed many before.

[laughitoff]

I've had experience!

[strikingchords]

What was your first?

[laughitoff]

Oh? Isn't gossiping forbidden, Lan Zhan?

[strikingchords]

[just kind of tenses up and goes quiet]

...

[laughitoff]

[...relents and pats him on the shoulder]

I don't know who my first kiss was, isn't that funny?

[strikingchords]

[he doesn't immediately get his courage back, but he does eye Wei Wuxian a little, inscrutable]

[laughitoff]

I was blindfolded, and someone took advantage. To this day I still don’t know whether to call that maiden bold or shy!

[strikingchords]

[wait]









Blindfolded?

[laughitoff]

Mmmhm. I got pinned, so it's not like I could remove it and see who it was.

It was a very good kiss, though! Very forceful. I was weak in the knees after she ran away.

[strikingchords]

You were alone. Outside.

[laughitoff]

Haha, how did you guess?

[strikingchords]

...

[laughitoff]

Though I suppose you couldn't technically call that alone, could you.

[strikingchords]

[...

...

...

these will continue internally, but out loud:]

I would dislike it.

[laughitoff]

What, someone surprising you with a kiss? I suppose that makes sense.

[strikingchords]

Not knowing.

[keeps walking for a little...]

[laughitoff]

It would be nice to find out! But if a maiden wants her privacy and doesn't want anyone to know she did such a thing with the Yiling Patriarch, I can hardly blame her.

[seems to mean it, his tone easy]

[strikingchords]

I would rather kiss a friend.
