[How can you tell that Consort Shen has been married into royalty long enough to get used to it? Because in true celebrity 'what do you mean I'm not the most interesting person in the room?' fashion, he left the stream running while he fixed himself tea with Shen Yuan's new stove.]

[Clearly Xiu Ya is the one filming, because at a beep from his omni he picks it up and smiles, saying,]

Lan-gongzi! Well met, very well met indeed. The other Shen Yuan spoke highly of you as well, he seems to be quite the fan -- by which I mean he's a great admirer of Lan-gongzi's kindness and his skill as a cultivator.

[Right, he's not in Proud Immortal Demon Way anymore. Can't expect everyone to just fall in line with his modern slang or suffer Luo Binghe's wrath.]

Thank you for your concern, but it's not the first time I've gone off on my own without my husband, nor will it be the last. I'm determined to make the best of this adventure -- beginning with buying my other self some proper furniture.

[He grimaces, glancing around the apartment before sipping his tea. It's dire, y'all. Truly dire.]
