"All of them are?" That's something if the train has been able to make some of the items it has on it more durable than usual. Wen Ning knows how delicate some instruments can be, and he doubts everyone on this vehicle is going to be careful when using them. There are always those that don't care about that sort of thing. It would make sense, then, for the train to compensate if it's capable.

"Maybe I'll have to look at them after all..."

"As far as I can tell." He'd never actively tried to break them after all. That was almost a sin to a musician... and also in the Gusu Lan family rules somewhere.

"I can show you to the music car if you wanted to see it."

"Sure! I-I mean... if you want. It will be more fun to see it with someone else." Even if that someone else is Lan Wangji, someone who doesn't exactly exude a very 'fun' aura even on a good day. He's still a friend, so that counts.

"I'll even try not to touch everything right away." Despite the assurance of their durability, Wen Ning doesn't like the idea of accidentally causing and possibly precariously placed instruments to topple.

"Of course. We can go now if you'd like to see it."

He had no problem with showing him immediately. There was nothing that he really needed to do right now and he was showing Wen Ning around.

"R-right now?"

Wen Ning isn't sure what he'd expected when he'd asked. Had he intended to make plans for later? It isn't exactly like he's busy or anything. So he gets over his surprise quickly and nods.

"Sure! I'm up for it."

"Alright. Did you want to drop everything off in your room first?"

Since he has newly arrived, he might like to do that first.

"That might be a good idea..." Not that he has much to drop off. All he has is what this place has given him so far. He hadn't been fortunate enough to arrive with an item from home because there was nothing important enough to bring along that wasn't another living person.

"Should I meet you there? Or... somewhere else." Wen Ning has no problem letting Lan Wangji know where his room it. It can only be helpful in the future to have his friends know where to find him, as far as he's concerned.

Still, it would probably be nice to be able to put that bag down and not have to carry it around randomly. Also then he could find his cabin.

"We can meet there. It is not so hard to find."

One benefit of the train is that everything is a straight line.

It's all a straight line until it decides it needs double-decker cars.

"Okay! I'm very grateful for your help, Second Master Lan." Different worlds or not, it will be nice to spend some time with the man that doesn't involve Wen Ning basically being the third wheel. Not that he minded that either.

"I'll be there shortly."

Yep, that will make it more confusing, but still, everything had a theme so it shouldn't be too hard.

"You don't need to thank me. I am happy to help." He has been doing this a lot since becoming the Blue Team's leader. It was something that he rather liked doing since then he could help the new arrivals.

"I will wait for you there." And he'd wait for Wen Ning to board the train first.

Wen Ning bows to the man again, already feeling more comfortable about things knowing there were those around he knew. He can't help but thank him, even if Lan Wangji would prefer otherwise.

At the very least, this keeps him from dallying around outside the train for too long. He heads inside the rather frightening mode of transport with much more confidence, ready to find his bunk so he can toss his bag onto it. He's barely even checked to see what's in it.

WangJi bowed back to him as Wen Ning had bowed first. He was pleased to see that Wen Ning was now able to board the train less concerned than he had been when WangJi had first approached him. He knew that the train was strange to them and kind of frightening.

Once Wen Ning had boarded the train and since it was nearing the time of departure, WangJi would make sure the stragglers got onto the train before heading to the music carriage.

[ooc: we can either call it here and handwave the music carriage or we can continue, up to you]
