[ Wei Wuxian is not sure if he is happy or not that he's been told he can stay. Part of him balks at such emotionally fraught conversations, especially with people he doesn't know too well. He can't say he knows Xiao Xingchen as well as he'd like to, even their brief meeting in his lifetime was just that — brief and left him with admiration. Now, this Xiao Xingchen doesn't seem to have that memory which is a little sad.

For now, he takes a spoonful of congee into his mouth and gives a soft hum around it as he tries to think of what to say. How to continue this conversation in a way that isn't uncomfortable for them both. ]

How long have you been here? At this... resort. I only just arrived, still a "wildcard" for whatever good that is. It's... strange, and new. Must be difficult with you without your sight.

[ He doesn't know what else to say other than to move on, to change the conversation to the here and now. He thinks of what Xiao Xingchen has said — that the only thing that could matter is what sort of man he is now. There's no way he can just tell him the type of person he is now, because that's not how it works. No, he must show him through his own actions.

So, a soft reset, just talking about the Golden Peacock instead. Their experiences here. That's... got to be better than continuing to pick at each other. ]
