"A-Sang." He isn't sure if he'd meant it as a plea or a warning, but mostly it just comes out quiet and tired. He has already fractured too much, during this conversation, and he doesn't have the energy to gracefully accept what Huaisang is saying.

Or, even worse, to have to explore what it means that Huaisang believes that after everything, or to think about just how many ways Lan Xichen had allowed himself to be blinded and wonder if, perhaps, this is now another one.

"I am here, and I am looking forward. That is enough for me."

It's more than he had back home, anyway - and still he makes no move to pull away, either. If it brings Huaisang comfort, he will stay like this as long as he wants, particularly when it selfishly brings him comfort as well.

"Wuxian is working on developing one, but it's complicated with our spiritual energy mostly sealed."
