Which, yes, well, what the actual what? It's not that sex as a need or a curiosity is beyond Lan Jingyi, it's not. He's no saint, he's read things, he has hands, life is great, we all get on well doing whatever it is we do. He wouldn't even be surprised if people did this in other clans, kind of a one off thing with someone? Or something? Most the world is not Lan, and he's not going to tell people to be Lan restrained, that's dumb.
But he's also from a world with brothels, and his mind blanks out for a moment because that seems like the... worst... way... of getting laid. "I'm curious, who wants to sleep with me! Oh yes my best friend here that's totally going to keep us platonic." He's probably missing context, he's only on a minor adrenaline high from having used wind to stop himself from falling, and: no, he doesn't get it.
But at least Inigo knows that he kind of shot an arrow into his own knee over this, too, so that's... something? )
I, uh, okay. But he said yes. Do people just get that kind of intimate with their best friends around here?! Or in both your worlds?
( So helplessly confused looking here, his three world views are taking a heck of a thrashing. )
Has he been trying to do this with a lot of people? Does he casually go around asking for sex? Is it just with you? I swear this sounds just like the stupid dating everyone talks about, only neither one of you've actually said the words!
( None of this sounds like an accusation when he's saying it, his streak of absolute confusion is strong here. )
