Not that I think you're on the road to becoming besties. But if nothing else, it's impossible to avoid things here, which usually turns out for the better, as much as I hate that.

Oh, I keep very close records. I have since I got here! I'm that kind of person, and I especially was back then. I keep track of the days and the passage of time. As far as I can tell, one day here is about equivalent to a seven-day week, on average. I don't think it passes at a steady pace, either, but I can't prove that!
Er, weeeeeell, it's my diary too, and some of it's very personal stuff. It's not only the passage of time I'm keeping track of, you know. I keep an eye on the passage of Magolor, too!
I didn't think you would. But since I do like helping you out, if you're interested in an abridged calendar version, that'd be easy enough for me to do for you! Going back 85 days . . . that's when I arrived.

Not so different. Was born to my Sect and clan. But I want it.

The years have been long. For all.

[he lifts up to turn and give Lan Wangji a hug. huff!!]
You're too kind even when I've disappointed you. But this is all pretty nasty all around . . . I do think it'll get better.

Avoidance may be best for harmony.

How long, since my arrival?

[He does some quick mental math. But it's probably saying something that it's not hard mental math, and he can access it very quickly.]
Seventy days, ish.

Perhaps four months ago.
Time is strange, here. But nonetheless.
no subject
I see...so it's still that raw. I didn't realize just how recently you'd come off of everything that happened.
no subject
Thirteen years difference. Thus.
