That is where he has the upper hand. He leans down so he can whisper in Lan Wangji's ear, not wanting to startle anyone that might be in earshot of their game. "I actually know for a fact that there are spirits here. I talked to them." He seems rather pleased with himself even though he isn't sure how long he will get to enjoy this ability and it's not like he can get rid of them in anyway. But even just discovering they exist is a step in the right direction.

He sits up again, shifting so he can help Lan Wangji also sit up and not make him continue to lay in the water. "So when we get our abilities back, we will night hunt." because he feels like it's only a matter of time.
