๏ผ his attention drops to the brush of mccoy's hand, but he does not move away. simply remains perfectly still, as if the only alternative is to bolt. he does not speak until mccoy has reclaimed his own space, although he continues to look down at his cuff a moment longer.

Losing her would devastate Wei Wuxian. We should both take care, to be there for him if on our return she is gone.
๏ผ mccoy gets a bit of a look. just faintly annoyed, in that oddly fond way he has. ๏ผ
My threshold for being anything other than fine is higher than most.
๏ผ he is already mourning the loss of this world. the oddly familiar sensation of a sort of... preemptive grief that feels just a little like drowning threatens to swallow him whole any time he is not directly occupied with something else. ๏ผ
Ask me after we return to the Ximilia, perhaps.
๏ผ it's a vulnerability. maybe. if you squint. ๏ผ
( he is immune to such looks, jackass. the glimpse of vulnerability though... he'll handle it with care. )
I'll hold you to that.
( bones heaves a sigh, glances back the way they came, and comes to a decision, lowering himself down to a seat against the stalk of the coneflower, long legs stretched out in front of him. )
Think it's best if I lose my earpiece for an hour, 'til they tucker themselves out. ( he puts his hand to his ear but waits, turning his gaze up at itachi. ) Thank you, for hearing me out. Again.

If you tell me you're fine, I'll swat you.

๏ผ his attention cuts to the earpiece, and then: ๏ผ
