[Another pause, presumably filled with calming breaths and personal reminders as to why he was exploring this particular avenue for ideas.]
...it is my understanding that your husband will soon celebrate his birthday. As he is important to my sworn brother, I feel it appropriate to procure a gift. I was hoping you could provide some suggestions.
You want to get Lan Zhan a birthday present. JUST because he's important to Dabo?
I wouldn't have any high hopes about him getting any warm fuzzies about it, but I'm sure there's SOMETHING you could get him that he wouldn't destroy on sight.
[A long pause follows, though the dancing "..." that indicate the other party is typing start and stop several times over.]
Hmmm. You can never go wrong with some wine, anything sandalwood, spicy seasonings, some spicy toys, oh, anything bunny-themed is good.
[And if they all sound like things Wei Wuxian would be the one to enjoy, well, he reasons that the best way to curry favor with Lan Zhan is to make his husband happy first.]
[He ignores the other suggestions almost entirely. Though the gift would be more likely to see use if it appealed to Wei Wuxian, the risk of misinterpretation was not worth what would prove to be a minor reward at best.]
[The message shows as read, and for a few minutes the moving ellipses of a response-in-progress flicker on and off the screen... but he thinks better of engaging further.]

I mean, you can ask him, but I don't think he'll have sex with you either.
