Zizhen stares at her with his own bun half-eaten (he figured he'd grab one just in case Jin Ling ate them all), though he quickly spits out the bite in his mouth in the face of her panic. They've probably had about the same amount as each other at this point.
"Liling what's going on?" he asks "Weren't you with-" he looks down at the food and back up in horror as realisation dawns. Oh no.
The servant who ran is having a very bad day, because Fairy's barking draws the attention of one of the guards who's loyal to Jin Ling and he catches the man a little way down the corridor from the sect leader's room.

Yuan blinks up at his parents and Jingyi hovering over him, idly wondering why they're all so worried. He feels fine. Actually he feels a little bit like he's floating, and everything seems very far away.
"He's lost a lot of blood." Wei Wuxian comments grimly - there's a heavy red stain spreading from Yuan's shoulder and an unpleasant amount pooled on the ground, but Jingyi's makeshift bandages and input of spiritual energy seem to have stopped the bleeding for now, at least. "I'll know more once we can get a proper look at him."
They need to finish up things here, need to speak to the villagers about what happened, tend to the few other (much less) wounded juniors, but he's hard pressed to want to do anything other than whisk his son back to Cloud Recesses to be looked after properly. He wants to place his hand over Jingyi's and give his own energy to Yuan, but he can't. He looks up helplessly at his husband.

"Take him home? I'll- I'll handle this place."
