[Now Huaisang is the one who will have to rely on a stranger, but he thinks he understands. Xingchen needs more emotional protection. Huaisang will manage just fine with social negotiations, whereas Xingchen will let people take advantage of him. Huaisang's grateful to have him protected.
He nods, not especially happy about it but willing to accept Wuxian's reasons.]
That will be good. I'm glad to have you and Wangji both in a safer area.
[He knows that Wuxian does just fine with roughing it, but Huaisang would prefer that his friend doesn't have to.]
[ Huaisang shouldn't have to rely on a stranger at all. Wuxian knows how Xingchen and Xue Yang met again after their last meeting. It would be hard for Huaisang to be tricked in the same way and should Huaisang need any more protection, Wuxian is willing to step in still. At least, that's always been his plan. ]
What? The Down wasn't so bad. It's more that I had choice-y friends who complained when he came to visit.
I think you are picking on me, Wei-xiong... [There's a whiny pout in his voice, though he doesn't really mind being picked on, as long as Wuxian is having fun and still likes him.]
But there's no way to get to the bars in the Down!
That's very thoughtful of you, Wei-xiong. I hope they are cute but not as cute as me.
No because then we'd have to take the elevator. And also go to the down. And I'm only willing to endure those things if a really good friend needs me to.

We can still visit some of the bars in the Down. They're more fun.

[ He is teasing, but it's in good humor. ]
No way? We can still go down.

Is it really so scary? I think they're fun.
