Zizhen thinks if all their kids ended up like Yuan, that wouldn't be so bad - but he wisely decides not to give voice to that particular thought.
The question makes him frown a little, feeling his heart break for his friend.
"I'm sure you will," he says encouragingly - the wound is bad but it'll heal, right? it has to. "And... oh, if the worst comes to the worst, you'll just have to train with your other hand, right?"
He thinks - but again, does not mention - that the biggest problem is probably going to be archery. If his shoulder is injured beyond repair, if the damage is permanent, he's never going to be able to shoot as well again.
