Zizhen has to admit, he's intrigued and glad and just a little bit secretly thrilled when they're asked to come back into the room - given the way Jin Ling had basically confessed that he was in danger during their conversation last night, it was clear that something needed to give. They'd told him his uncles would be there for him, and now they would be able to prove it.
He'd never thought somebody would dare try and poison him here though.
He gives Jin Ling a nod as they return, taking his place on one of the mats, and he gives Yuan a small smile too - he noticed the way the other boy immediately had Jin Ling's back when everything went to hell.
Yuan, for his part, gets settled on one of the mats a little uncertainly, still feeling as though he's intruding but also glad he could be there for Jin Ling. He gives Zizhen a small smile and nod in return, even though they haven't yet been properly introduced, and he gives a nod to Jingyi as well, before turning his attention back to Jin Ling. He squeezes his hand reassuringly before letting go, and very pointedly drinks the tea first (after a cautious sniff, just to be on the safe side) to show him it's safe.
Wei Wuxian watches him approvingly, noticing how attentive they both are to each other, even in the midst of this chaos. Maybe Jin Ling doesn't have such dumb ideas after all (and he definitely approves of him trying to free the sweet boy from his current life).
"Right," he claps his hands together once everybody's settled "Jin Ling, why the hell didn't you tell anybody somebody was trying to poison you?"
