Oh. There it is. Beyond more logical and arguable reasoning, the actual reason Lan Zhan hasn't actually openly courted one Wei Wuxian.
Well.
Sometimes Lan Xichen thinks that their mother's ghost haunts the Cloud Recesses, for all that her presence is still felt. He's fairly certain, however, that no amount of Requiem would send her on her way. Not when Wangji can still feel the chill of the snow that surrounded him, as he waited for a door that would never open. He'd been angry, the way young boys are angry, when he realized no one told his brother that their mother wasn't just 'gone', but dead. It wasn't until later that he realized no one had actually told him either - he was just old enough to understand the meaning behind the words and heavy silences they were given.
He sighs, heavily.
"Wangji... how safe will he need to be, for you to speak to him?"
