Acceptable and more than, says his encouraging nod to Lan Zhan, lips pressed in some determination to deserve this title (though also suppressed amusement--how could this not be a little funny? Now the baby Lan has nearly the highest permission to find him respectable, and Wei Wuxian is surely going to put that through some stress-testing despite his best intentions.) But really, truly, all hilarity aside, he understands this disciple is important to Lan Zhan and he definitely will take this responsibility to heart, while also being glad to not be outed as a revived scourge of the cultivation world. Really complex stuff, here.

The look he turns to Lan Sizhui is more gracious, but still a little on the sprite-ish side, would be conspiratorial if only the boy were actually in on anything going on here, besides getting squashed. So quickly the storm of uncertainty and identity-concealment has passed, with Lan Zhan's complicit support and absolutely no stabbings or other drama resulting, how could he feel slighted? How could he do anything but bring out his best attempts at both sincerity and nice-making? Everyone has to understand He Gets It. "No apologies needed! I am indeed familiar with your Hanguang-jun, so I understand. This place is a lot to take in at first. Especially on your own! I hope as your senior in this place I can also help you feel more at ease, though I perhaps haven't made a good start."
