Raafi awakes to some curious forest creature snuffling at his ear, where he's curled up beneath a tree; he startles, teleporting away, and only when he goes back for his bedroll and finds it missing does he remember that he'd gone to sleep in a farmer's hayloft the night before, and not a forest at all.
He cuts off a slice and offers it to him. "There's more in storage if you like it - only for today, conjured food doesn't last very long. I can make more another time, though."
After little enough time for the Owl's spell not to have worn off he sweeps back in, looking grimmer and holding a book.
"All right. I do have divinations prepared that'll let me check whether a plan is a good idea, if you'd like one." And he takes another bite of the apple, content to wait while Xichen works.
Nod. "If you'd like to go to Koi Tower any time in the next few days to talk about resurrecting Jiang Yanli and Jin Zixuan it would be extremely convenient for me to take you."
"Whenever you're ready. Maybe tomorrow, if they're going to want a demonstration of the same spells I showed you."
"I'll be ready, then." To Wangji: "And I can look for you this afternoon for the spell."
And Raafi heads out to explore the rest of the campus, favoring places where he can watch people going about their day or doing interesting things.
People go to and fro, occasionally exchanging a word with him but mostly passing by quietly, occupied by their own business.
The land around the buildings is clear and beautiful, smooth and grassy with little gardens tucked away here and there.
The entire place is cloaked with an aura of quiet serenity and peaceful contemplation.
Around noon, people start heading for a centralized dining area.
It's very nice, if maybe the sort of place that'll get boring eventually.
He follows when people start heading for lunch, peeking in to see how their mealtimes are set up.
Everyone eats at the same time; there aren't staggered mealtimes so a smaller space can feed more people. Food is laid out in large dishes in the centers of the tables and people serve themselves therefrom. The people closest to Raafi leave a space for him to sit down.
Nobody talks during the meal.
He takes them up on the apparent offer, taking a little bit of everything for his meal and producing a fork from his belt rather than try to use the chopsticks.
Afterward, he goes looking for Lan Wangji.
The fork gets a few odd looks but no comments.
Lan Wangji is to be found in the library.
