The frustration at least tempers him a little, because he's not assuming to
generate more of it right now, and Jiang Wanyin isn't being the version of
himself that begs for talking back.
(He's not insulting anyone Jingyi cares for. Very easy mark to miss.)
Behind him, his tail gently continues it's back and forth tailtip swish.
"Mm. He's known to be friendlier, but that's how he smooths things over. He
hides everything behind that smile, like Teacher Lan hides things behind
his sternness."
Lan Qiren being a less flexible man who had to step up when his own elder
brother so failed the sect and any duties that even his eventual children
were left in his brother's care.
"It's good that he's telling you anything more than things meant to
placate, huh? Having opinions that aren't easy for everyone else to
swallow."
From the one who loudly shares his opinions, but still barely anything
acceptable social limits.
