❰ it's no surprise to her that wei wuxian's focus is on doing something, not simply fussing over her. not that she would ever shame or belittle jiang cheng's reaction to situations, he's simply known as the hot-headed sibling. it's what makes him easy to tease, and also one of the ways to know his heart is perhaps the largest and softest out of all of theirs.

regardless, she's grateful for wei wuxian's surety. if anyone would be able to find an anecdote to this ailment, it would be her middle brother. the one hand that she has that can be moved settles against one of his own and offers him a series of small pats. ❱

There is nothing to fear, A-Xian. I've been fine up until now, please don't fret over timeliness. ❰ which is all true — she has nothing but patience in her heart, a symptom of her upbringing. it doesn't betray her anxiety, though, that does prickle with the possibility of release. that this may only be an affliction she has to worry over for a few more hours is a blessing, one that she can't wait to come to her. ❱ I'm grateful for your capabilities at all, and your jiejie will be alright.
