[ the getup definitely catches ryouma's attention, but partly because he's usually the guy hanging around in all white. definitely different energy though, that much is obvious.
ryouma is bad at pretending like something isn't interesting, so catch him shooting looks across every so often to see if lan wangji will ever decide to speak up. or change expressions. honestly, it's impressive how long he just stands there. ryouma, meanwhile, has found it difficult to sit still for more than a few seconds since he got here.
later, lan wangji will have all of ryouma's gratitude because as of right now he's dreading having to sort out his financial situation for the foreseeable future and it gets expensive when you occasionally have to ply your contacts in other factions with food and liquor.
but back to the present. the moment lan wangji finally does speak up, ryouma expects... more than one line. it's not to say he's disappointed as much as he's confused. ]
Eh? [ hold on, it takes him a second or two to refocus on the point here. ] From who? You don't mean the Kappa...?
[ he obviously has his own theories — especially after hearing from others — but as with anyone he's addressed directly he likes to try and draw out the angle a little more before he starts filling in with his ideas. that helps him know if he's thinking clearly or just hovering around the easiest thing to blame. ]
