[At first Lan Xichen is sniffling when he connects to the network. There is a shine in his eyes where tears are forming, but he's still smiling as he gathers his composure.]
Ah, writing is beautiful. I did not realize that there were so many books like this in the city.
[In view of the watch there are a few examples of said books laid out on a desk. A closer look shows that these particular works have a certain flavor to them, portraying monsters and witches in obviously intimate relationships. He's... definitely found a collection, yes.]
If any of you have read things like this, I would be happy to hear of more. They are very moving.
[The ones he's picked out run more toward the feelings and drama side of stories rather than straight smut, but they certainly aren't high art. Wiping his eyes on his sleeve with light dabs of the cloth, Lan Xichen calms down and addresses the public more formally.]
I apologize for my appearance. I got carried away. What I wanted to speak of is more of a formal question.
[Even though he's been crying, he somehow managed to maintain his grace and noble appearance, keeping every hair in place. Half of it is tied back with a golden ribbon that matches the warm brown clothes he is wearing, accented in the same color. He put some effort into keeping up that look.]
Those of you who are studying magic or have some natural powers, perhaps you will train with me? I am working on expanding my skills and would like to learn new spells from others who have specialties that can help me improve. My range right now has been on elemental control, so perhaps we can work together on combining techniques?
I would like to gather a hunting party as well. I know many often venture into the Wilde and I would like to go out with some if you will accompany me on such a hunt. To explore.
[To dip his toes in again, really. He's mostly been hunting on his own.]
And- if this is too forward you need not answer, but I would be grateful. I am curious about those who have become something other than Witches. Usually these changes are difficult to discuss, but are there any positive experiences you could share with me? I know there are uncomfortable aspects, but surely not everything is terrible?
[He hesitates, then abandons a mouthed please.]
Anyway, thank you.
[ooc: For anyone wanting to join him in magical spell development or some hunting/quests, I have an open log here. Or feel free to hit me up for some stuff at
teaandreveries.]

no subject
There are some areas still within the city we could explore as well. The Shades are less common, but they do cause trouble. I'm sure that within a group we can safely support each other.
[A nice beginner's version of a night-hunt, even though hunting is never actually nice.]
A-ah, yes, I- I do.
[It's an awkward one, but he thinks that it has been going better recently. Maybe that's being optimistic, but they haven't had any disagreements recently...]
