[Well, after she leaves the meeting and the rest of them disperse, he will come find her. He doesn't say anything, or even get particularly close--he just sits down with his guqin nearby. Music therapy for both of them? Music therapy for both of them.]
[music therapy for the both of them!! lila is hiding in a pile of pillows and blankets in the nap room, but she lets out a sigh as lan wangji comes in to start playing, and shifts a little so that she can peek at him from under the blanket.]
[Honestly, he doesn't blame her. He's not the type to hide under the blankets, but he did go spend time meditating after the trial, which is basically the same thing for him.
This, too, is calming for him, and it seems to do the same for her, so--he plays this song.]
slowly, her vibes start to mellow out. she's still resentful and bitter and ragey and sad, but. it's becoming a little more muted as he keeps playing.]
[His own vibes, if she gets close enough to sense them, have also mellowed a little. It's more of a sense of a slowly receding tide. Strong emotions that are still there, always there, but gradually starting to ebb in the face of his focus. Concentrating on the song, on helping her, helps him stay calm too.]
[He sighs softly. She's been here as long as he has--and while he'd said he was alright with staying behind, he thinks it's perfectly understandable that she isn't.]
[He's quiet, at that; his emotions shift between agreement, resignation, and concern.]
I've considered asking Sally if there is anything further we can look into here.
[He doesn't know if she'll know, but... something to keep them (her) occupied would help, he thinks. He is not a restless man, but even his patience only lasts so long.]
[Okay, that gets his expression to shift very slightly, but it's enough to clearly be a look that reads that's because you are sometimes openly rude in his stare.]
I'm fourteen. Sometimes my temper runs away with me. Did you see the bear earlier, while we were watching the trial? It was totally scared of me and I didn't even do anything.

...this is almost over, right? At the rate the seasons have been changing, we only have to do this for a few more weeks...
no subject
Mm. I believe the others mentioned eight weeks in total.
[He doesn't know how this works so he can't say whether or not that's an appropriate guess.]

[since the dorm heads have to be invited here and all...]
The bear might know more since it's been here longer, maybe?
no subject
A pulse of tired exasperation.]
It has been exceedingly unhelpful.
[Like, maybe. But he doubts it.]
no subject
[she grumbles]
...but I guess it's scared of me, so maybe it'd be more helpful with someone nicer, like you.
no subject
He glances up at her, brow furrowed slightly. Is. Is he nicer? HE BARELY TALKS TO PEOPLE.]

...you're more polite than me, at least.

He would like to say "I wasn't a brat when I was 14"
but he attacked a cute boy with his sword for drinking on his roof at 15
so instead he just sits in the hypocrisy for a minute and lets it go. Anyway.]
I am willing to ask. But I would not expect a useful response.
no subject
Since... he's the one who told Rupert and his group all of that stuff. He might know more, actually.
no subject
I have never spoken to him.
[lwj doesn't even speak to his own dorm head, terrible]
