[this thread is an exercise in me rapidly googling things to see if they're real life or just fantasy (china).]
Xian Le? Xian Le... [HM. He shakes his head after a second or two of consideration.] It's not familiar to me, no.
[He will have to date himself the old-fashioned way, by just slapping his ancient age out on the table. LIFE'S HARD WHEN YOU COME FROM DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF FANTASY CHINA.
At least they're both in a collective good mood, though. Good work team. Sometimes the positivity is just contagious even in an intergalactic kidnapping!]
Xie Lian, Xie-daozhang! [As if weighing both on his tongue and seeing which he likes more. The answer is "both" and also "he will probably use either interchangeably, because for some reason he enjoys calling one person ten names". Then:] It's good to meet you! A little familiarity is always nice - and I'm Wei Ying, courtesy name Wuxian. You can call me whatever you'd like, though!
[Like just fuckin "whoo" THANKS SHIGURE. It's been 500 years since he's introduced himself like this, anyway... FEELS FUNNY NOW, but he will do things Properly for this Proper Daozhang.]
