[WELL he’s walkin around which is already going against her orders BUT LOOK... school. I am hand waving that he was taught about showers and laundry and shit idc THE POINT IS he is clean and tidy with real bandages, thanks to her, though his forehead ribbon is probably tragically bloodstained and thus tucked away on his person. He looks okay, though!! He bows to her in greeting, eyes curiously trained on her books.]
I am well. Thank you for your aid. [Polite...] You attended class?
[Honestly, that makes sense. As much as he's fallen "easily" into this whole situation, it's mostly because he doesn't yet have enough evidence to judge anything--and he's not exactly in the best state to take a stand.
The mention of Wei Wuxian has his gaze dropping, though he predictably shakes his head at her apology. It's not her fault.]
...Members of his clan should be attempting to rescue him. [Not that they have any way of keeping track of that.] But they may be delayed. If his fever does not break...
[Even magical healing abilities can only do so much, when you're malnourished, dehydrated, and trapped in a cave.]
[It's a difficult question, though not, perhaps, for the obvious reason. It's more that answering something like "strength" would feel like bragging, treading too closely to breaking a rule ("Arrogance is forbidden").
But after some thought, and from his observations, it seems like most have interpreted it as a question about values. Not showing off, but discussing what's important--if he thinks of it like that, it makes more sense.]
[Technically yes, he supposes, but phrasing it like that feels... chaotic, somehow. More like Wei Wuxian than him. He’s quiet for a moment, thinking about it.]
It is important to consider all paths. Thorough investigation often reveals the best course of action.
[So yes, as far as necessary—but not in the sense of charging recklessly into situations.]
