There has been a seismic shift in the pinball status quo and Grantaire unwittingly brought it just by mentioning the game at the wrong time. Or the right one, really. Watching Magnus play was honestly kind of amazing, but it also was a very fast shift in fortune, especially with tales of Alex even beyond that. And if Grantaire wanted any hope of keeping any Rs at all on the high score list long-term, he needed to refine his game. (Sometimes it's easier to be spurred on by someone clearly ahead of you than someone coming up behind.)

So he is, of course, in the game room one dark (and Dark) evening, working on improving. Of course, as always, his plans are fully subject to change when previous offers come back to the forefront.

Lan Wangji keeps a perfectly calm, immovable expression in place. "Alex. Magnus' companion. She can change her shape."

"An elephant would find it difficult to fit inside the mansion," Lan Wangji agrees placidly.

"Mn." One can hardly argue with that. Again, further speech on Lan Wangji's part seems wholly unnecessary.

Grantaire remains impressively endearing. Lan Wangji waits, again, to see if he will remember what they are doing or if the tragedy of the hypothetical motherless elephant will prove too distracting.

A hypothetical travesty indeed. Lan Wangji puts on a perfectly neutral listening face and continues to wait.

That little profanity makes Lan Wangji's mouth twitch the slightest amount. "It is impossible to say whether elephants in other worlds are proficient at weiqi."

After a considering silence, one that he allows to shade toward potential disapproval entirely on purpose, Lan Wangji says, quite gravely, "Let me visit as well." He sets a stone down.

"Better than the rest." The agreement comes with a touch more sincere emphasis than most of what he says.

"Lung Tien Xiang?" Lan Wangji inquires with interest. Somehow, he had not imagined the dragon would be forced into these routine humiliations along with the rest of them.

Truly, no one was spared. Lan Wangji is unsure whether he would have preferred to awaken in the form of a dragon, but it might at least have been distracting. "Then there was also a dragon in the form of a man that day."

Lan Wangji allows the barest upward quirk of his eyebrows to convey the follow-up question for him.

lightbearinglord: (where the chaos is)
From: [personal profile] lightbearinglord
"Interesting?" Lan Wangji echoes, again fairly dry about it as he glances down at his own clothing. As always, he is dressed in several layers of crisp white robes.

Not that Lan Wangji was actually offended, but the hasty explanation serves to amuse him a little regardless. "Christening gowns?"
