[ It wouldn't have made too much difference to Nie Huaisang in his current state, but the question is put forward and he looks around as if checking for anyone else listening in.]
Birds can eat bread if people feel the need to part with it. But ducks cannot, it makes them ill, but they still eat it if offered. They're like people in that regard.
Ah... well then. [ As he gets into the driver's side. ] Then
we won't feed the ducks bread. What do they like to eat?
[ At
some point, when Huaisang is... at least soberer, Xichen would like to ask
him what he eats when offered, but shouldn't. But right now that
might be a bit much. ]

... did the ducks do something wrong?
[ Innocently. But asking seems somewhat important? ]

[ The sect leader pauses, tapping his nose lightly with his fan as he vaguely thinks about ducks and bread.]
Huh? Oh! They can eat rice - cooked or uncooked. Grains are good too. But I wouldn't suggest owning ducks, they can be very loud.
