[continues with the soothing motion. concern is growing, but it's still not alarm. he's dealt with a small Lan Wangji and different versions of himself. this is almost the same]
[everything is fine and normal there is just water dripping down Lan Wangji's face for some reason and he shakes his head a little, not a refusal, but because his throat is locked tight]
[oh no oh no oh no??? he tricked himself into thinking it was a trick of the light, that Lan Wangji might settle if prompted to speak; he should have known better, really.
Lan Wangji can feel a spike of distress before Wei Wuxian thinks to dampen the connection, muffling it down to an odd extra murmur of emotion that is easy to ignore. wraps his arms around him with familiarity and ease; the hug is warm, the steady thrum of his heart easily felt]
[pets his hair and makes soothing sounds; he doesn't know how to deal with people crying, especially not Lan Wangji, but he goes with what feels right. lets him get it out for as long as he needs, offering the occasional it's alright and I'm here. he is gentle and unmovable]
[he's clutching at him too hard, honestly; torn between anxiety for the Wei Wuxians he seems to have left behind somewhere for the moment and meeting this one again, this one familiar, remembering, knowing...
he doesn't make a single noise, though he trembles a little before the tears finally begin to subside.]
[it isn't an apology, if only because he knows Lan Wangji wouldn't want that. but it is an acknowledgement, that he knows why it hurts even if it was outside of their control]

It's alright. Whatever is going on, we can handle it. I'm here for you, Lan Zhan.
no subject
Miss you.
[an encompassing statement: he misses his husband and he misses the Wei Wuxians he's just left behind]
no subject
[light, teasing; he knows it's more than he understands, as he brushes a hand across his cheek, wiping away dried tears]
It's not quite appropriate when it's not the Jingshi, but I'll say it anyways. Welcome home, for the moment.

Wei Ying.
[it feels like an eternity since he has been able to say his name.]

[says his name, in turn, those two words so unbearably full of love]
Who upset you this much? Tell me so I can take revenge for you.
no subject
No need.

I know it wouldn't make you feel better, but it would make me feel better. I don't like to think of you being treated badly.
