Zizhen waits until Jiang Cheng is gone to flop down onto the bed beside Jin Ling, debating with himself for the moment the best thing to say to try and help cheer his friend up.
"This is our opportunity to do some spying," he decides on - scheming is a great distraction, right? "see if we can figure out what Huaisang is up to."
Not that Zizhen himself expects the headshaker to be doing anything nefarious, but he's loyal enough to go along with what Jin Ling thinks.

Yuan nods slowly, lifting his fingers to trace over the silver sitting comfortably in the centre of his forehead. His father has been pretty firm about his declarations, hasn't he? He's not really left any room for misunderstanding, and his uncle is clearly supportive - he's been warm and welcoming the few times they've met, now, and he obviously supported Yuan being given their father's sword, so he clearly considers him family as well.
"I should have thought about it, but I just... it never really crossed my mind, before," he says softly. He'd say more, but he's conscious of those listening in, and he doesn't really want to give anything away by talking about how unfamiliar he is with any of this.
