"A walk sounds like a really good idea, actually." Zizhen says encouragingly, he's pretty sure Jin Ling is ready for that - even just a short one - and the sooner he starts pushing himself the better it will be, he thinks, before he starts second guessing himself too much.

He tries to think if there's anything they need but he's pretty sure they're all good so he shakes his head.

"No, thank you Jiang-zongzhu."

At least with Jiang Cheng away, they might get a chance to try and figure out what Huaisang could be up to.

"Alright," Wei Wuxian nods, turning away. He does not look convinced, but he's willing to let Jingyi cover for the other disciples - if it was anything serious he's sure they'd be told about it, if it was just usual junior bickering they could handle it themselves.

Yuan is just relieved he doesn't try and get the others in trouble, because no doubt they'd blame him for it rather than Jingyi - not that he expected Jingyi to be anything other than totally loyal to all his friends.

"Yea," he offers Jingyi a small smile "it's fine."
