"Do you know Disney?"

"Not really? My dad didn't disapprove, but he didn't really sit me down in front of it, either."

"Ooh! I should introduce you."

"--that seems hard to do in the Scholomance?"

"Nah, we all know the songs. We can do a performance and then explain the plot that happens in between the songs. Maybe if Nie Huaisang runs out of actual work to do he can draw some illustrations for mana."

"That could be fun--"

"Probably in a couple weeks, everyone has to get ahead on their homework. I'm doing all of Zaizai's because he's not allowed to leave his room because he might get murdered." (They arrive at the vending machine.)

"Is he okay?"

"Bored, mostly." He puts a token into the vending machine. "Uh, do you want... a ten-year-old bag of Doritos?"

"Can Doritos even go off?"

"Probably not?" He hands it to her. "I cheated it and I didn't get anything."

"It's probably safe then." She opens the bag and looks in.

It appears to be Doritos!

Wei Wuxian gets his own package of Cheeze-Its. "Not even stale."

"Lucky!" She eats a Dorito. "It's a bit stale, but the flavour's still good. That's the important part."

"Wanna swap?"

"If you want to, but I am happy with this."

He drops half his Cheez-Its in her hands.

That is. So many cheez-its. A bounty of cheez-its. She would hand over some Doritos as a trade except her hands a full of cheez-its. "Thank you."

"--oh, you don't know anything about magical theory!"

"...no!"

Does she want an INFODUMP about MAGICAL THEORY, the MOST INTERESTING SUBJECT IN THE WORLD

Too bad she's getting it whether she wants it or not.

Wei Wuxian is very good at infodumps. She listens attentively.

They should sit down over here (he sweeps for mals first) and then he can draw diagrams to help explain the concepts to her.

Unfortunately, to get close enough to see the diagrams, they're also close enough that their legs are pressed together and his arm could very easily go around her shoulder.

So this is very educational but also a teensy bit alarming. What is she meant to do? Is she meant to put arms over shoulders? Hopefully not??? She is going to listen and sit very, very still

He casually slings his arm over her shoulder while discussing the theory of mana capacity.
