[Lunch is an adventure in the new and unexpected; Lan Xichen gets his second glimpse of coffee and, yes, unfortunately, it really does smell like that. Actually trying it will be an adventure for another day.
But really, it's the art stores that are most captivating. The sights! The colours! The selection! Lan Xichen spends an hour alone just marveling over varieties of paper he's never seen before. (What is construction paper? Who knows! Why does it come in every colour of the rainbow? Don't ask Xichen, he's just happy to be here!)
A block of wood is thrust right under his nose, his nostrils a hair's breadth from getting splinters. He can smell cedar.
He steps back, eyeing it with interest.]
...That is very kind of Huaisang.
[Please leave his yearning paintings out of this, he painted those when he was like, 20, and he keeps seeing all the mistakes he made (not unlike his life).]
Is Huaisang planning on trying his hand at woodblock prints...? I'm afraid this er-ge is only passingly familiar with the process.
