For his time, Wei Wuxian likes to think of himself as a fairly forward-thinking man, one who contributes research in both science and magic, pursuing lines that others wouldn't have dared. After all, how many studied demonic cultivation? Or thought to use resentful energy rather than put oneself at odds with it? And weren't his inventions used even some sixteen years later by other clans, among those, the prestigious Lan sect? So, to be treated like a child, to have his head patted and spoken to as if traveling to the stars is something so simple and obvious, it's enough to get under his skin. Just a little.
The rest has him... unbearably curious. But he worries that asking is only going to garner more amusement for Shepard. Or a change in topic, like those clones. It's enough to make his head hurt; other worlds and flying ships...
"Well, how does it work then. A flying ship? What powers it?" he asks finally. It takes a fair amount of spiritual energy for someone to fly on their sword alone. How would you even lift something that heavy? It was so impractical...
