[He bows, just as polite, when Hanguang Jun answers the door. After
he straightens, he offers the tea, glad that the other takes it to use. He
follows the gesture and enters the house. The last time he'd been there was
to fight and save Wei Wuxian's shadow. His brother. He'd called him his
brother. He waits patiently as the tea is prepared, mentally trying to
prepare himself for what he wishes to say to him.]
[ Lan Wangji, meanwhile, takes his time making the tea, and also prepares for them a little spread of fruits and other snacks. This is a formal meeting, so he must treat it with formality. ]
[he frowns. No, that sounds like the beginnings of a negotiation. He
must allow himself to be vulnerable. Even if it is to Lan Wangji. ]
…a happy and loved future. One where he would always hear the truth and
never be hurt by deceit. If there’s a way for children, perhaps adopt some
disciples who have lost their parents, provide him with a large family. I
would never take him away from Gusu. We’ll simply work out a system between
time spent in our homes.
[A soft smile touches his lips as he thinks of what a family they
could create.]
But no matter where we are, it would be my pleasure and bring me happiness
to see him as happy and carefree and loved for all of our days together.

[The fruits and snacks are nice and he waits patiently until he's set everything out and started the conversation.]
I do.

I wish to ask for your permission to wed your brother.

And once he is done, he finds himself satisfied, and nods curtly. ]
So long as this does not change, you have my permission to wed my brother.
