He doesn't know what he is going to like or hate, having never done this before, never thought to research it or investigate it, so he will simply have to take what he is given and hope he is a swift learner. His hand lifts to touch Xichen's cheek, his face warm, but his expression as close to tender as his angry features allow. ]
