[It was quite the sight, he had never seen a place built to accommodate a horse body before, but then he had never met a half-horse half-woman before either! Life was filled with surprises.
He wasn't particularly accustomed to taking off his shoes, but he was also good at going with the flow, there was a clear divide kept and it wasn't a completely alien concept to him.]
I think he was trying to tease, but, he is a good man none the less. And I promise to be a good choice.
[If life had a record scratch sound effect, it would be playing right now, as a clatter of hooves and clinking ceramic signals that something has happened in the kitchen...
Before Konoha pokes her head back out in alarm.]
He was teasing?
[Lan Wangji can tease??? Was she supposed to have noticed??? Did she accidentally strongarm a man into working for her over a joke???]
He raised his hands patting the air in an attempt to sooth what he can only assume was worry.]
Me, a little bit, he can be like that sometimes, but. That’s part of his charm? When you get to know him well you see those little subtleties. But, don’t worry, it backfired on him.
[Konoha's hands fly to her chest as if to settle her heart- But she has two, so the motion is... very odd, one palm pressed to her human breast and the other to the bay coat of her lower chest, still shocked at the idea of the very stoic and elegant seeming man she perceived Lan Wangji as... making jokes.]
Eh- But you really don't mind taking the job? This isn't part of the joke, is it?
[Patting both of her hearts one last time, Konoha lets out a sigh of relief, sidling back into the kitchen and talking all the while, a few clinks of ceramics audible between words.]
I'm really dumb sometimes, I would have just gone and hired you without knowing it was a joke, and then you would be been troubled because I didn't get it... and then all the cultivator people would have been laughing and laughing...
[Before she returns with a tray holding a teapot, two cups, and a plate of fresh mugwort dumplings stuffed with sweet red bean, which she sets down in front of her guest before lumbering carefully to her belly so as not to tower over him.]
Here you go... The dumplings are fresh from this morning, so help yourself!
[At least she doesn't seem too depressed about thinking she was dumb?]

Of course not! I do enjoy farming. And I really did have a small farm for a little while!
