Well, that's also sort of the logic behind concubines, except the need is to have an additional pretty girl around who has to pay attention to you. Wen Ning was the sort of sheltered and repressed who never had any particular thoughts about any shape to relationships, other than that if his sister did manage to arrange a marriage for him despite everything, he would probably like that. Either way, equitable is definitely not the feeling one generally got from a harem. But he does sort of see Husk's point. A harem belongs to someone who is not in it. "Equitable," he echoes a little lamely, buying himself time. Equitable is... sort of more than he expected? He tries voicing that in a way that won't cause even greater awkwardness. "Is equitable what you-- I mean, you were here first." Which is childish and quite possibly not even very accurate, thanks to weird barge time. He's probably known Angel about as long as Husk, not that he knows that. It took the two of them swapping shoes and histories to even distantly discuss what brought them here. He's always in the moment with Angel.
