It was nice in a way. Having someone worry about him. In a way that was different from Er-ge. It felt like they could be equal. Or more so than many others. He was soothed against him and even relieved that da-ge was out. He seemed to be angry that he was even breathing. He just wanted to cry.

“It’s not too bad.” He started but was surprised as he was gently lifted by a large Nie disciple. And at Huaisang taking charge. He was proud of him. He allowed himself to relax and for the first time in a long time felt safe.

“Thank you Huaisang.” He muttered softly. He was feeling rather woozy, after all. He would let his friend look after him, and maybe just maybe not think for a little bit.
