Wei Wuxian makes his already tiny body seem even smaller as he clings to the man's shoulder. It's not a bad way to travel. he holds the green prize tightly in his paw as he looks down at the book in the man's hand. Anytime a staffer walks past he holds very still as if he was just a stuffed animal. Of course at this point he probably just looks like a pet and nothing for them to be too concerned over. Not that he has really seen any pets in this place before but he has been a rabbit..and hopped around and was carried around in such a form so it can't seem so strange to see a random monkey.

"You have some interesting pictures in that book. What was all that?" Because apparently his curiosity can't wait to be satisfied. He knows that Cloud Recesses has a pretty extensive library but he can't say he has seen anything quite like the man's drawings in it. Of course he also has only flipped through a tiny fraction of those books and only when he was locked up..a lifetime ago.

"Was your grandfather a cultivator?" He can't think of any other reason why he would be hunting such creatures. And the man has mentioned is grandfather so whatever this is for, it is because of a family business or hobby. But he also used the world 'tale' so perhaps it is all a work of fiction and they are a family of writers. Whatever the reason, Wei Wuxian wants to know more.
