[Lan Xichen is reluctant to say too much on that matter, since he doesn't want to touch on anything too awkward or personal. It's not the kind of past that should be spoken of, but he also doesn't want to leave things he says too open to misunderstandings.]
I believe he is sometimes cautious, reluctant to express his heart because of how it may be received. To hear that he spoke of my concerns with another is... unusual for him. But you are right. It may not have been purely about my sect as I first thought.
[He sighs a little and shakes his head, although it isn't really with a harsh expression.]
It is a serious matter for me, but not one that cannot be overcome. If he seems too easily upset by my decisions, it's not something that has prevented him from staying by me. Are you sure he hasn't said anything inappropriate to you? If so, I will make sure he is properly corrected.
