Zizhen considers this for a moment, glancing around the room and trying to estimate how many more clans were still to arrive and how long they had until the banquet was due to start, and then deciding he doesn't care. He nods quickly.
"We can do that, absolutely." If anything went wrong he could always just claim he needed to go... check on something, for the tournament, and Jingyi was just helping him. That was totally believable, right?
Sizhui squeezes Jingyi's hand back and gives him a gentle nudge - everything would be fine, so he should go take his walk with Zizhen. Nothing bad would happen while he was here with the rest of the Lans.
He hopes.
Zizhen grins over at him and jumps to his feet, motioning for Jingyi to follow him as he slips out towards the back of the room, hoping nobody's really paying attention to them.
Wuxian grins easily up at his brother.
"I don't know what you're talking about," he says innocently "is it being a bad sport to just be better than everyone else?"
