A brief silence follows, as Lan Wangji thinks. He sets his hands atop his knees, a casual version of lotus pose, and says, "The library pavilion. It was burned, along with most of the Cloud Recesses, in the war, but we rebuilt. There is a magnolia tree outside its window." Aside from his own home, the library is easily Lan Wangji's favorite building at the Cloud Recesses. There is a reason he refused to burn it, as meaningless as that effort turned out. "The gentians outside of the jingshi, and the bamboo grove that grows around the hanshi. You would enjoy the treasure pavilion, I suspect." He gives Claudius one of those looks that is not a smile, but that may as well be, to someone who can read the flash of warmth in his eyes. "The back mountain is populated with rabbits. I care for them when I can."
