Lan Zhan seems content enough to hum softly, so he just keeps playing with his long hair, separating out some strands so he can start to braid it. It's silky between his fingers, and makes him feel special, somehow, that the Hanguang Jun who is so picky about letting people touch him, is curled up with his head in Wei Wuxian's lap.

It pulls at his heartstrings to hear Lan Zhan ask so earnestly. Even if they both know he's not the Wei Wuxian this Lan Zhan is waiting for, he wishes he could give him a comforting answer, say that he's not going anywhere. Unfortunately, he knew just as well that it would be an empty promise.

"I'll stay as long as I can," he assures with a soft laugh, "even if you fall asleep on me, okay?"
