YEAH THAT IS BAD THOUGH, WOW. At least he's keeping his hands to himself and also Lan Wangji's hand to himself in a non-lewd way for now, using his palm to pillow his cheek.]
Mmhm, he's a good one to contact. The bookseller Ash sees plenty of people too, and I know of a few who seek him out when they're looking for information through text.
[As for the boulder cat though, he just smiles.]
Didn't hear of it! That cat's a patron of mine. That was the first time I'd ever heard it speak - asked if anyone strange had come through for a ride, and when I asked for clarification, it mentioned humans turning into demons. Quite a fickle kitty, though, so I can't guarantee I'll run into the dear again before you do. It's an easy cat to spot, at least - double tails, each with a blue flame.
[Ah yes, Ash... Lan Wangji's gone to his bookstore before, but only ever as a regular customer. He's a scholarly nerd!! But he files that information away with a quiet hum, stroking his thumb over Wei Wuxian's cheekbone in a gesture of thanks. He'd pull him back up for a kiss but I personally refuse to let them get sidetracked again STUPID FUCKS
But, oh, that's interesting. Lan Wangji makes note of that, as well, picturing what the creature must look like in his mind. Cat demons, huh... "fickle" is one word for them, at any rate.]
Where should I look?
[He generally doesn't ask Wei Wuxian about his customers or their destinations (unless he's being a dumb jealous fuck about it), but Wei Wuxian travels all over, while Lan Wangji barely leaves his mountain. He's got a much better chance at guessing a starting point. Still, if he doesn't have one, that's fine too--Lan Wangji doesn't mind putting in the legwork. If this truly is his ~divine duty~, or whatever, then he's willing to do what he does best, and work very hard.]
["I REFUSE TO LET THEM GET SIDETRACKED" but what if Wei Wuxian takes this opportunity to kiss Lan Wangji's palm and fingertips. HE HAS THIS HAND!! It's a good pillow, but also, they're cursed horny. At least he's just being cursed tender for now...]
Umite during the day, in spots cats would like to sun themselves. Yamate at night, but you'll probably have a harder time finding it then since I believe that's when it prefers to hunt.
[Wei Wuxian will help his ~divine duty~ by providing as much help as he can! They should absolutely never work together though, since all he'll do is fucking distract Lan Wangji.]
[STOP STOP STOP DON'T INDULGE THEM WHEN THEY'RE ALMOST DONE TALKING PLOT AND WE HAVE NO EXCUSES LEFT!!! Because Lan Wangji is the more cursed one between them and will just trace Wei Wuxian's lips with his fingertip. AWFUL. Wei Wuxian doesn't have to try to distract him because he's always being a cursed piece of shit anyway!!!!]
Mm. I will tell you, when I learn something.
[When, not if. He doesn't have confidence in his skills so much as in his determination--you can't lose if you just keep going until you win, right?]
[RANDY YOUR PLOT....... THEY TALKED PLOT FOR 2 DAMN SECONDS IN THIS ENTIRE CURSED THREAD AND GOT LITERALLY NOTHING DONE and now Wei Wuxian's already gently biting his finger and staring up with them big ol' eyes so they're fucking goners.]
How soon do you need to start looking? Can it wait a little while...? Just a little - I'll only ask for a crumb of the esteemed Hanguang-jun's time. Won't you spare me another kiss, good sir? Two more, if you're feeling generous. Can I ask that of you?
[Peppering this fool's palm and fingers with kisses and little teeny bites between words, he is TERRIBLE.]
Because Lan Wangji's going to pretend to look like he's thinking very seriously, even as he reaches over with his other hand to grab Wei Wuxian's arm (gently!!!) and tug him all the way back up to smooching range. WEI WUXIAN NEVER EVEN PUT HIS PANTS BACK ON]
Hm... it is a very serious matter. But I could be persuaded.
[I'm saying it again they're not allowed to have any more threads in private]

[As he leans in to take full advantage of being within smooching range.
WELL HERE THEY FUCKING GO AGAIN!!!! Maybe he'll actually put his pants back on after this round. Bye.]
