I think you're probably overthinking it. When they realize the extra credit was done, they'll know the rule was broken, right? They can tell you if there needs to be a punishment.
[Hmmm... he thinks about that, then nods slightly.]
...I will defer to their judgment. [That seems fair. Sometimes rules are broken outside of the Cloud Recesses, or for necessity--if this is a similar case, then that's acceptable. He looks down at his phone again, though.] Is this sufficient? It is not listed in the official rules list.
[Does it count if it isn't on the bulletin board :( lila help him]
Ohh, I was thinking I'd try and get it out of the way... do you mind if we talk about the people who matter most to us? It'd be nice to hear about your friends!
[You know, at this point Lan Wangji would probably still say he has no friends??? But this is an assignment, and Lila’s been kind enough to help him out, so the least he can do is return the favor for her. Or try, anyway.]
but he didn't say no or just turn around and walk away, so... sure, she'll start!]
For me, it's probably my mom. She's really busy with her work at the embassy a lot of the time, but she always goes out of her way to leave notes for me even if she has to leave before I wake up, so I know she tries to talk to me.
[MOM FEELS... does Lan Wangji even know anyone with a normal mom?? Maybe the Nies had one??? Mxtx why are you like this.
Anyway, Lan Wangji listens quietly--whatever he feels about Moms doesn't show on his face. But it's supposed to be a recipro conversation, right? So, in that case...]
ALSO WHY HAVE YOU DONE THIS me pulling shit out of thin air bc I don’t know anything]
He will meet with other sect leaders for negotiations or collaborative efforts. Any matters of major concern will be brought to him. He is also responsible for approving disciples who wish to join the sect.

It is unfair not to accept punishment when it would be expected of others.

Don't worry about it too much. You'll give yourself wrinkles if you concentrate too hard and end up frowning, you know.

[this isn't much better]
no subject
Yeah! Which means you're still young enough to develop good habits instead of bad ones so you won't get wrinkles when you're older.

What is wrong with wrinkles?

Oh! Hey, I just remembered. So, you were working on your extra credit, but did you already do your dorm war task?

Not yet. I have been observing.

Was that an "Mm" of agreement...?

Gentle. Patient. Kind to everyone.

no subject
Clearly she didn't see him talking to Catra
He has no good response to direct compliments, so he just inclines his head slightly to acknowledgment her words with gratitude.]
...He will be sect leader someday. [A day that is, terrifyingly, probably very close--but he can't think about that right now.] He is suited to it.
no subject
What does being a sect leader entail? I've never met one before.
