[He really doesn't need to say them in this case, since Wei Wuxian understands perfectly well what he means. It tugs at his heart; he can't help but wonder over and over how, how did he get so very lucky? He turns his hand so he can stroke the side of Lan Wangji's face with his knuckles, soft and careful.]

I'm glad.

[Glad to have Lan Wangji's trust, glad to have the support that comes with it. He hopes their collective faith in Xie Lian will be enough to see them through.

After that, he lapses into silence for a second, expression devoid of whatever considerations may be running through his head. It's a tangled mess of what-ifs right now; he'd rather focus on nicer things, if only for a moment.]

—Ah, that reminds me. I had something else for you - I forgot to give it to you with everything that happened. Do you want it now or later?

[Cursed fuckin question to ask while he's sitting on Lan Wangji's lap.]
