No Lan, once they've fallen in love. We're just one clan, not the entire world. It's not like we expect anyone to do what we do, yanno? Though this whole dating thing doesn't really sound like how... most things go for people in the clans, major or minor. You'd court, but it's a little different.

( We are sitting here wondering what Lan Jingyi now believes modern dating even is. Quite probably, even he doesn't know.

At the switch to introductions, he snorts, waving a hand at the screen before folding his arms across his chest. )

Lan Jingyi of Gusu Lan, nice meeting you. I dunno, sometimes small talk's the most painful kind. ( a pause. ) Is Rich or Goranski your family name?
