"Punishment, ah... well he broke one of my bottles of Emperor's Smile, that was punishment enough. Then, he used the silencing spell so I couldn't even finish drinking the first one!" he makes a face, little bits of that night humming to the surface of his memories.
"Took me to Lan Qiren and Lan Xichen to decide punishment, writing lines or something, probably," he adds, "ah, but Lan Zhan, you'd already welcomed the Jiang sect visitors into Cloud Recesses while I was gone and didn't even mention it! I tried to thank you, but you were so prickly then!"
