Shen Yuan snorts. "It does please me, being right. And your discretion, as always, is a credit to you. I'm sure I already have made my judgements of him, if we've met more than once." Or even only once, if it was early enough that he was still assigning narrative roles to everyone immediately upon meeting them.1
He tries to think of someone he's met that might have some deeply terrible secret, and is met only with people whose deeply terrible secrets he already knows. He spends a long and fascinating moment entertaining the idea that it might be Wei Wuxian, which is a self-indulgent thought not only because the picture of them together is very appealing but also because it would mean Sagramore finds Wei Wuxian's crimes more unforgivable than Luo Binghe's, thus firmly placing him on Shen Yuan's side opposite Lan Wangji. But no, he's pretty sure Lan Wangji's 24/7 BDSM lifestyle choices or whatever aren't compatible with Sagramore's whole, like, deal. Even though he now knows more about Sagramore's BDSM lifestyle choices, which—he refocuses. He's being emotional support, right now.
"Would it help to tell me your judgements of the man? Before the final one, I mean. I'd like to hear what you loved about him, unless it would make you sadder in the telling."
