Despite how similar the Lan Zhan from his world is to this Lan Zhan, the differences make it difficult sometimes as well. The little tells he knows from Lan Zhan's face don't always translate, and reading one or the other can be hard with that alone. If he had to guess, this Lan Wangji seems... both irritated and rather down, and he really hasn't mean to contribute to either of those feelings.
If his soul-twin had been intoxicated when he was caught, he supposes Lan Zhan has fair reason to worry. The drinks here could be strong, a lot stronger than the stuff back home, but he was pretty sure he knew his limits. He'd only drunk beyond them the one time at that nightclub! Okay, and maybe that other time when he and his soul-twin had tried to drink one-another under the table. Still, only a couple times in as many months that they'd been here wasn't so bad.
"So, you're worried I'll make the same mistake?" he presses, setting down his glass, his fingers idly tracing the condensation.
"That's easy enough. I can just make sure to only drink with friends. Or with Lan Zhan. Or back in my room even," he didn't particularly like such rules, but drinking was more fun around friends anyway. Wei Wuxian might have his vices, but even he understood the difference between having sneaky drunken parties at Cloud Recesses and letting his guard down around an enemy.
