He does change his underlayers as well, grateful for the privacy however unnecessary it feels - the fact that Jingyi thinks it's necessary is what makes him smile.
When Jingyi compliments the robes, he almost says they were a gift, but bites back on it, trying to push the thought out of his mind - he's been doing so well this last part of the journey, he doesn't want to ruin it. Instead he sits quietly and enjoys the feel of somebody else combing his hair, letting it calm him.
Zizhen nods at the assurance "Exactly, you'll make the perfect young master and nobody's going to think you're anything else. Because, well, I guess you're not anymore, right? You're one of us now, and Jingyi's right, we're going to do everything we can to help you. You've got both of us, and your fathers too."
"Thank you." Yuan says softly, genuinely, fighting back the tears that threaten to spill. Everything's changing so quickly. He takes a deep breath to centre himself.
"I might write to my father and tell him I'm going to stay a few days, would that be allowed Hanguang Jun?" he asks, turning to the older man. He thinks it might be nice for Yuan to have an extra friendly face around for a little longer, that's all, it's definitely nothing to do with wanting to make absolutely sure Jingyi makes a full recovery.
