[ That's a fair read, he can't help but think. In the days since he's arrived, and that terribly long party, he's met plenty of people, all through happenstance and odd circumstances. If that's being facilitated by the House, as it's called, then it's goal must be when Aventurine describes. Or something like it. There's always the case that the goal might be malicious, underhanded. The yin energy this place is soaked in would hint towards that, after all.
Wei Wuxian looks thoughtful, scooping more congee into his mouth and answering Aventurine's first comment with a hum.
The idea of this place being a sentient being isn't unusual to him either. Though, he's never encountered a supernatural entity that's so grandiose. Any cultivator in their right mind would've put it down long before it got to this point, malicious or not. Something having this much power just isn't safe for anyone. And now he's here, trapped here, and at its whims.
He'll watch as Aventurine dresses himself, and then comes closer to serve himself something. The coffee. He doesn't know what that is, assumes it's some sort of drink, but he hasn't tried it. Better stick to the things he knows for now.
Eventually, Wei Wuxian speaks, having processed all that Aventurine's shared with him and come to his own conclusions. With amusement, he comments — ]
You've been here a while, haven't you? None of this is shocking to you at all.
