[Lan Zhan does seem surprised, but thankfully not upset, which was his biggest worry. It reinforces what he's been trying to tell himself; it's not a big deal, it was the best decision he could've made, even if the ones that followed might have been lacking. He lets out a breath he hadn't realized he'd been holding.]

Ah. Yeah, that's why.

[He shakes his head though, not wanting Lan Zhan to dwell on the what ifs and maybes.]

But, dangerous? No, no, Wen Qing was very skilled, it was nothing, just a little inconvenient. And now I have this body anyway. It's not the same as where I was, cultivating, but it's got potential.

[He squeezes lightly in return, his eyes searching.]
