Wei Wuxian does not hide his laugh, but he does at least bite it back into something like a snort instead. He squeezes Lan Zhan's hand.

Yuan leans into that reassuring touch - it's actually probably good Zizhen is going by sword, it means there's no way for him to beg to go with him. He has to remind himself it's better for Jin Ling if he stays here - it just doesn't feel that way in his heart.

"I love you too," Zizhen says, unashamed despite their audience (but then he is a romantic) "I'll send word as soon as I can, and I'll be back here before you know it."

Probably with his parents in tow, if he can wrangle it.
