Wen Ning starts at the motion and then gently brings his arms around Sizhui. Part of him wants to hold tighter, but he's not sure he can trust his own strength right now. The pain of losing his sister again is much too fresh. And this is supposed to be about comforting Sizhui, not himself.

Still, despite whatever else he intended to say just now, what actually comes out is, "Mm, you are... still here."

[sizhui]

Sizhui himself knows that the hug is for both of them. Much as he wants it to be purely comforting for his uncle, that would be lying to himself.

Then again, he has lost Uncle Ning twice already since the time he came here. And once... back then, even though he forgot it for so long.

So yes, he is offering himself for comfort, but he is taking comfort, too.

"I'm here. I will probably be spending a bit of time with Jin Ling, as someone who matters to him disappeared, too, but I'm here."

It would be unfair to not warn, but also he knows the kind of need that Jin Ling feels, for reassurance and presence, as everything is so raw for him. And Jin Ling was there. When Senior Wei disappeared. When Jingyi disappeared. When Zizhen disappeared.

In this place... apparently this is how things are, the time that they have twisted by losses, over and over again.

"Tell me if you... need anything?"
