"Of course we should," he responds, and then looks at Wei Ying. "But we must be careful." That's something that Wei Ying doesn't regularly consider: his own personal safety. He just charges forward, whatever the first draft of plan A is. He is a man of action, uncaring of political landscape or others' power.
Lan Wangji is the opposite, and he is out of his element, because he doesn't know how to behave. He doesn't know how to greet the others, what etiquette to use while eating, what rules there even are to break. It drives him mad, that he wishes not to expose their hand too quickly, but he doesn't even know the rules of this game.
But as long as Wei Ying acquiesces to being more subtle - that's all he can hope for. He doesn't want to argue with him, not over this. He knows, ultimately, whatever Wei Ying decides, he will come along. He takes a breath and reaches over for Wei Ying's wrist, looking at him with a sympathetic gaze. This will be difficult to traverse. He knows.
But he also knows this place that bears the banner of Cloud Recesses, and Wei Ying's room. They are copied as if directly from memory. Which means they already know, no amount of physical violence against his personal form would matter. They have already demonstrated they know it's separation he fears. It's what they do to the one he loves he fears... How is Wei Ying the last person to know this?
