Imagining Hanguang Jun with a flock of tiny Lan sect children playing in the forest with rabbits, that at least, sounded like a fine measure of happiness. He felt a pang of painful memory himself, thinking of how quickly A-Yuan had taken to Lan Zhan. He didn't seem the sort that children would run to, but once they realized how soft he could be under that cool expression, of course they'd be charmed right away. And what child could resist playing with little animals?

"Fun like that, in Cloud Recesses is allowed? Ah, how much has changed," he smiles, a hint of teasing to his tone.

As for the legacy of troublemaking he'd left behind, well, it would take a devoted effort to cause more trouble than he had without actually getting himself kicked out of Cloud Recesses.

"Isn't it? Occasionally I can do something useful," he laughs.
