[It's not surprising to hear that sharp catch. Honestly, Nie Huaisang figures that most people from their world would be concerned though likely for very different reasons, some more than others depending on how much they knew. However, to his knowledge, Wei Wuxian's the only one who could possibly know of his involvement other than Jin Guangyao himself now that Jiang Cheng seems to have vanished.]

Well, it's not just a bookstore... It has a lot of different things, including books. Have you been to Wild Things?

[He's yet to venture inside but it seems to be a one-stop sex shop for a variety of kinks. No one would question a Tamamo newbie visiting such a place, particularly his roommate. It's going to take a lot more time for Jin Guangyao to fully win back his trust.]

[He doesn't actually know that Jin Guangyao was the Chief Cultivator Huaisang spoke of -- the two narratives he got from them were just abstracted and mismatched enough that he can't piece the whole thing together quite yet. But he also wouldn't trust anyone from the Jin clan as far as he could throw them right now, no matter where they were in the timeline or what strange otherworld experiences they'd had before coming here.]

Ah! I know that one. I haven't gone inside for a longer look, but it was...notable.

Do you have time to meet there now? Or is the lovely Lady Tenko-hime keeping you busy today?

[Soft laughter from the end of the line.]

I think I can spare a little time for you, Wei-xiong, though I can't get up to anything too rambunctious today. I had an unfortunate run-in with one of the locals and well, I learned the hard way that this old body of mine is a bit more fragile than I'm used to.

[Not that Nie Huaisang has ever been a bubbling fountain of spiritual power but with his cultivation completely sealed by whatever power that rules over this place, he might as well not have a golden core at all.]

Getting out a bit and tasting some fresh air might do me some good, though.

[laughitoff]

Nie-xiong's been having some troubles, huh? We're all feeling a little more fragile here than we're used to, it seems.

I'll wander that way, then, and we'll distract you for a while. Just call me when you're close? But take your time, of course.
