[ Luckily for him, even though Xue Yang is comfortable around Xiao Xingchen, he still hasn't let his guard down entirely. Even if Xiao Xingchen is only doing this as a cheeky way to get Xue Yang to strip, there are certainly things he could be carrying around that could be risky: those mysterious candies he arrived with, or some of the poisons he's managed to reconstruct from ingredients he's foraged.

As it is there's not much to be found; he leaves anything potent or suspicious locked away in his room unless he's actively using it. What's tucked in the folds of his robes right now are a few flowers from the garden cleanly harvested and a pair of clippers that he stole from the garden staff supplies to match. Should Xiao Xingchen make it to Xue Yang's sleeves he'll also find three knives between them (stolen from various eateries around the resort, one much more intimidating than the other two), but Xue Yang is quick to pull his arms out once offered the chance: he doesn't want any risk of Xiao Xingchen reaching towards his left hand. Xiao Xingchen can find anything Xue Yang is carrying on him right now, but he can't touch his hand. ]

Oh? You're certainly being thorough, daozhang. Do you really think I might be able to slip away now that you have me here?
