I will take that as the compliment that it sounds to be. Thank you.

Your hard work today proved your wisdom and grace, but those that take care of others should also have someone ask how they fair.
Another day, I would like to hear why. [ not today, probably. he doesn't want to associate the knowledge of yves' most important person with what happened today.

It was. Confusing, with many pieces that didn't quite fit together until the very end of it all. As we started getting closer... I'm not sure what I was expecting. What answer, or confession.
I was thinking the same, but I wanted to ensure that Mister Jiaoqiu could get as much time to speak with him as he needed. So I thought it best to wait until later this evening.

You remind me of my grandpa sometimes... Jing Yuan did, too. [ warmly, still so fondly ]
I'm okay. I told Jiao this, but I'm an elder in my island, you know. So I think I've got some wisdom and grace in me.

[ soooo proudly my god. once their glasses are filled enough, he'll put the bottle off to the side for now ]

... me neither. And I'm still not sure what to do with what he gave us. But... I'll have to visit him later and see if he's feeling any chattier.
[ sips his wine... and takes a moment just to smile about it ]
Oh, it is good. Just like you said.
