She doesn't manage to catch Lan Xichen's eye at breakfast, but she does find him in the library after the meal ends.
"..........yes. Yes, he did. And then he wouldn't let go of Wei Wuxian and tried to fight Masozi, and on the way back he decided he was going to try to raid the shop cabinets for red envelopes and keep Wei Wuxian in his room all night and we had to physically stop him because he wouldn't listen when told that would kill them."
That is a sentence that has implications! Perhaps if Lan Wangji were not such a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma Ayako would even be able to tell what they were!
"I am informed that Wei Wuxian said 'you should get drunk with me' and then everyone agreed without further protest."
Yes, she can tell, and she has no scripts for it.
"Yeah. I, uh, don't know much else, I can ask the people who were actually there but it seemed important that you know about the curfew thing."
"Yes. I'll-- speak to the freshmen and let them know Wangji shouldn't drink. Although I'm very confused about why he did in the first place so I'm not sure I fully understand the situation."
(Would it kill whatever part of her regulates anxiety to tone it down about thirty percent, please? That would be great. She's doing fine! There is no reason to be like this! In fact it is an unusually bad idea to be like this right now because Lan Xichen's affinity is emotions and he can almost certainly tell! Usually knowing that would be enough to make her stop!)
"Fair enough. I'd been... avoiding bringing it up in public, I don't think anyone else knows? I guess he might have interacted with New York."
