[ Yeah, Dean is definitely moving on for the moment, but he'll talk, if pressed. ]

...You can't run? The hell kinda rule is that?

[calmness]

One intended to test one's dedication. [ he says after a moment, looking a bit wry. ]

Like many of them.

For example, drinking alcohol is forbidden in the Cloud Recesses.

[ruinously]

...In the Cloud thing, or like -- in general?

[ This sounds like a terrible place, Xichen. Dean is horrified on your behalf. ]

[calmness]

In Cloud Recess. [ xichen clarifies. ] But the Lan bloodline is not known for handling alcohol well so many of us avoid it.

[ruinously]

Well, I dunno. You seem to handle it pretty well.

[ he remembers a very specific incident where the night was spent in prison. oops. ]

[calmness]

Would you like to know a secret? [ xichen tilts his head. ]

I burn most of it off.

[ruinously]

Really?

[ he looks surprised, then interested. ]

How? Are you a wizard, Harry?

[calmness]

Something like that. [ xichen raises his brow, susprised he hasn't mentioned it before. ] A cultivator.

I burn off the alcohol before it has time to take effect with a golden core. [ he lifts his hand, palm up and produces a small light blue ball of light. ]

[ruinously]

[ it wouldn't be surprising if he had, there's been a lot of shit going on and Dean's my memory is a little foggy sometimes. ]

Ooh. [ he wants to poke it. ] What's a golden core? Do you have a heart of gold?
