Well, it's still a very good gift, even if it's a little backhanded. And he does need help staying focused, that's always been his problem at home too. There's just too many other, more interesting things to spend his time and efforts on, like painting and poetry and birds!
Oh, he loves birds. There are so many pretty birds here too in Gusu, what he wouldn't give to skip a day of the lectures and go hunting birds instead.
Whoops, his mind was wandering there for a bit, wasn't it? He smiles a little. "Of course, young master Lan. Thank you for keeping me focused."
