She was worried. She did try to not bother Invictus with her personal problems; one part pride, one part embarrassment, and two parts not wanting to bother him with what was ultimately her problems, kept Lan from seeking him out the vast majority of the time.
Well that and her homework, she was terrible with her homework. She'd memorized roughly all of the book's contents, all of his annotations.. But she still doubted she'd do well in the face of being tested.
A small sigh, she made her request to see him, arriving at the time specified. Led around it was a private matter, the room small but open. The small table in the center of the room only decorated with a small flower arrangement. One that had Lan frowning internally. One of the flowers was tilted too far to the right, an unnatural angle. It bothered her. But she wasn't here to fuss over flower, she was here to fuss over her friend. Sitting down, she took a breath, closing her eyes to find her inner peace. This would not be.. an easy discussion she imagined. She did hope the tea she requested would come eventually. He might not drink it, but, the gesture would be there.

Bowing her head as he entered, she waited until he had seated himself before looking up. The flower fixed, she almost smiled. Almost. But it was held back. There was always a way in which those of the clan carried themselves, and Invictus did not look pleased. Yet as far as she knew, it was not directed at her, not yet anyway. A few moments of silence she spoke. "Thank you for agreeing to speak with me. I realize that you have other matters to attend to so I will try not to keep you long." The problem of just how to bring up the subject had been run in her mind a dozen times, none with a highly favorable result. Her eyes focused on the flowers, trying to find the right words, if there were even such a thing for the situation.
"You are familiar with that which has... affected Mengyao Miao?" She made it a question, less to if he was familiar with insanity, more if that the horsemen had it, and to the extent it had taken hold.

There was a visible tensing at his suggestions, ending with her jumping slightly at the ide she wanted Mengyao destroyed. "No! I-" She swallowed back down the outburst, the small lean gone as she resumed her posture in her seat. "I would never want that. Despite whatever grievances he causes, I would never wish him to be destroyed, not if there is hope." She let out a small breath she'd been holding.
"You overcame it, and returned to us- the clan. I have faith in Mengyao, but I worry that his actions will see him harming those he cares for at an even greater level. He attacked me in the woods-" the look in her face showing without words it had been an act of aggression, of rage, "-and later I find he had lashed out at the woman he loves, one who reciprocates his feelings. After we fought and he went unconscious I took him to the physician; I know he did not wish it, but I feel... helpless. His struggle is one I do not fully understand, and I fear for him. I fear this change in him, more, I fear I cannot help him. So I wish to ask, is there a way I might help him? Something to at the very least, ease what plagues him and his mind?" She hoped there might be something, anything she could do. She desperately wanted to hope that her friend might have some form of peace.

Part of her wanted to say that he was being helpful, even if he wasn't giving her some hidden trick to solving the problem that was Mengyao. She did not miss the motion of his hand, yet made no mention or signal that she did not understand the gesture. Overall, Lan waited, a silent listener. Her mind ran to the one person that she could see 'tether' Mengyao... who he had attempted to cut ties with. Foolish, stubborn mule.
"The clan is lucky then that such a bond exists. I do not know what might hold Mengyao to us, but, I have an educated guess to who it might be, if it is a person. It is a possible start." A small clatter, a horsewoman entered, quickly and silently pouring tea before leaving. The smell, if anything, was nice. Lan could have used it sooner.
"Is there anything you would caution me against? What might.. push him further rather than aid him."
