[confused math lady.jpg]

Of course. Is something wrong?

[his mind is already racing with possibilities on what Xichen might’ve heard about that Meng Yao needs to do damage control on]

[unimpeachable]

I just want to talk, without an audience if possible. I can meet you at the park where we spoke before, unless you have a better option.

[firebranding]

I can meet you there shortly. Would you like me to bring you anything? Something to eat, maybe? I’m sure I could find something on my way there.

[unimpeachable]

I don't think I could eat right now, but thank you for the offer.

To action

[firebranding]

Then I will be there soon.

[True to his word, he arrives at the park where he met Xichen before, expression mildly concerned as he waits. When he sees Xichen his face relaxes somewhat and he bows politely.]

Zewu-jun. Shall we sit? [he gestures to the ledge of the near-by fountain] Or shall we walk a while?

Re: To action

[unimpeachable]

[Xichen returns the bow, although his normal smile is more strained than it should be.]

I think walking for now. At least until we find somewhere quieter to sit, perhaps. [And there's a pause as he considers his next words.]

I needed someone to talk to and I have very few people outside my family I can turn to.

[He supposes there’s some sort of logic to it. Meng Yao isn’t the same one Xichen knows, after all, so there’s some degree of separation there.]

I’m honored. I can’t say I can offer much help beyond an ear to listen with, but I’ll do my best. What did you want to talk about?

...Zewu-jun... Did something happen?

[unimpeachable]

I... had a conversation with someone from my own...timeline I suppose is the right word and it demonstrated to me how different even the people I consider close here may have different views. [It had been enough to make him leave Wangji's house, trying to sort himself out. ]

I... You have been here longer than I have and if you're like the other version of you, you might be able to help find somewhere that's a temporary residence. I find it more difficult to keep my thoughts clear where I am currently.

[Meng Yao is quiet for a moment, not hesitating so much as assessing.]

...I do not have a second home procured already, but I can get one for you. Some place quiet and out of the way. [He can’t imagine who Xichen could’ve had a conversation with to shake him up this badly. There aren’t that many of them from his version of their world, is there?

Well, no. There’s at least one person who comes to mind]

Was it Nie Huaisang you spoke to?

[unimpeachable]

I would appreciate it, Jin-Zongzhu. [He's focusing ahead, although the question is enough to have him pausing.]

I was impatient with him and the conversation went poorly. [An understatement for what had been said, but he's not going to go into detail on that.

Not with his current companion]
