Lan Wangji doesn't particularly relish the thought of speaking with Asmodean, but at the very least he is externally well-mannered, unlike Shen Yuan. Good manners are no indication of virtue, and that is a lesson Lan Wangji has learned a hundred times over or more, but they can make an unpleasant interaction go by more smoothly.
His face expressionless and his back straight, he is walking the halls of the mansion in search of the man whose power he should not, perhaps, have unsealed. He has yet to decide how keenly he regrets that choice, but on this day, he has to admit it may prove advantageous. He is certain that Asmodean will agree to speak with him. The balance of the debt between them ensures it. Lan Wangji rarely cares to call on such debts -- the help he offers most is contingent on no promises of repayment -- but it would be foolish of him to discard something potentially useful at a time like this. He keeps a quiet but keen awareness of his own qi, the rush of it through his meridians and the simmer of his golden core, as he walks. Asmodean could best him in a match of power, he knows, but power is not the only way to end a confrontation.
