Yuan lets himself slump back against the bed when Jin Ling takes Xiaowen's head off, a dizzying flood of relief rushing through him with such suddenness he almost passes out. As Lan Zhan moves to his unconscious disciple and Jiang Cheng embraces his nephew, Wei Wuxian makes a beeline for his son.
He helps Yuan sit up, pulling his robes back around him as he pulls the boy carefully into his arms, shushing him softly when he tries to speak - he can see the bruising, he knows speaking is going to be too painful for him right now. The shock and adrenaline of it all finally wears off and Yuan lets himself be comforted, the tears coming as his shoulders shake with gasping sobs that he can't stop despite the agony each one brings. He wants nothing more than to go to Jin Ling, but he doesn't want to intrude upon the moment he's having with his uncle - even if he could move, which right now feels a little bit like a step too far.
Zizhen nods firmly, looking up with relief at Hanguang Jun.
"I can keep going as long as he needs me." he promises.
