Another small frown appears on Lan Wangji's face. He allows silence to win out for a long moment. "I'm not certain how to advise you," he admits, "because I am surprised that Luo Binghe thought you a potential candidate for friendship at all. I would have thought him canny enough not to make that request of someone so close to both Claudius and Galahad."

If he understood how much pain he had caused, he would never have bothered to put Magnus in this position in the first place.
