It hurts. He wishes he had the freedom to be as warm and comfortable with Yuan as he was with Zizhen and even Jingyi. However, it's so hard. He doesn't know why Yuan never wrote to him and he doesn't know where he stands with him now. It was just.. a little easier dealing with his other guests and doing his best to ignore his presence. If only..
Jingyi knows he should be more attentive to Sizhui's situation and that almost-glance couldn't have been easy, but he is almost bouncing in his kneeling position as Zizhen comes over.
"Wh- but- you're getting to sit next to us?!" Jingyi nearly squeals with excitement. He really wants to jump into the other boy's arms, but he manages to have some restraint.. barely. "This is wonderful! I can't believe- oh! Hello Ouyang-zongzhu! Lady Ouyang!" He remembers to bow when the sect leader joins them with his wife.
As they sit, Lan Xichen bows to the other clan leader and strikes up a friendly conversation with him. He worries, however, if the Ouyang clan (and soon to be Yao clan) aren't a little too close to Wei Wuxian. If he can keep the attention on him though, perhaps he can spare his brother-in-law. It's not the most comfortable thing as the other sect leader almost immediately starts talking about the time he was secluded. Sigh.
