Lan Xichen

*Lan Xichen sighed with a strained smile. He had just come out of seclusion, but he hadn't expected that the first clan meeting would be so.... stifling. He tried to pretend that there was no heavy guilt on his heart, settling a heavy stone across his throat, preventing him from making a sound. Lan Xichen smiles even though his soul was screaming.* "Ah, thank you for your attention, Leader Yao. I do intend to return to my duties soon, just as you said."
