"Right. That's all I was saying." Jin Ling says with a shrug. Except it wasn't really. He was saying he was really horny, lonely, didn't think he'd ever see Yuan again and if he did Yuan would have moved on by then. For self-preservation, he needed to start distancing himself some more emotionally from Yuan since the physical distance didn't seem to be enough.
He glances over at Zizhen, curiously. "Do you have close friends besides us?" Were there others in the young man's life he might have been with if Jingyi hadn't been around? If Yuan wasn't in the picture, Jin Ling could see himself being interested in someone like Zizhen. Although, maybe his emotions were just all out of whack after sleeping next to the man for the past couple weeks and having him witness some very vulnerable/ intimate parts of his life. Who knows?

Jingyi remembers once a while ago he was really upset about something and Hanguang Jun had put his arms around him. It hadn't been quite this firm of a hug, but it had felt as genuine. It brings tears to the young man's eyes now and he buries his face in Wuxian's shoulder for a moment. He tries to cover the emotion as he steps back with a cough and some blinking- like way too much to not be obvious.
"Right He'll be fine!" He says overly enthusiastically. A little embarrassed, he scurries back to his best friend's side.
Lan Zhan looks up from where he was holding Yuan. He has to direct the young man to put the salve on the wound since their patient has passed out. He helps Jingyi with his son's robes but looks to Wuxian while the young man works on his shoulder, knowing he'll do that part well.
"Everything go alright?" He asks, not hiding his worry. There are traces of weariness in his tone, but they both knew he wasn't going to stop doing what he was currently doing unless he was dead or Yuan was well, so there was no point mentioning it.
