Wei Wuxian slumped down onto the bench and laid his head on the table. "This is a catastrophe," he declared, slightly muffled by his position. "I've recovered from the battle, gotten all cleaned up, and I am out of wine."

Wei Wuxian grins at Xingchen's smile. His uncle needed more happiness in his life. He was excited to find out from Wen Qing if his idea would work, but he wasn't going to bring it up until she signed off on it.

He nodded at the description of Xue Lang. "I am trying to be a better mentor to him. Our histories, orphaned early, lived on the streets, we started so similarly, but I was fortunate and he was not. So I try to temper my opinion with sympathy for that."

"Please, do not apologize. I do know...some of it. When we went to Yi City and discovered what had happened, I did Empathy with A-Qing and saw how the whole thing unfolded from her point of view."

"I feel like I need to do so." But he already burdens his nephew with so much. He is feeling much lighter with less weight. "And it pains me to leave her behind with him. I wasn't thinking in my right mind, and I wasn't strong enough to stand against him."

With a nod, "I'm glad there are many people teaching him and mentor him. He changed so much that I don't think he is quite himself the way I remember him. I hope he changed for the better this time and he learns remorse and regrets from his mistakes." The improvement he sees in him is significant.
