Oh. The hug is a surprise, but a far from unwelcome one. Despite how long it's been since Wangji hugged him, it's still instinct to return it, and Lan Xichen's arms have closed around him before he even processes what's occurring.
By the time his mind catches up with him, Wangji is already pulling away and moving aside to allow him in, and -
No, thank you, if Wangji is going to initiate a hug tonight then Lan Xichen is going to return it the way he wants to. He steps into the room and pulls his brother back into his arms - both of them, and if this is one of the first things that he does now that he has two arms again, he could ask for little better. For a long moment, he lets himself fully sink into the hug.
Then he pulls away, looking past Wangji and expecting to see Wuxian standing there, just to the side. His brows furrow when he doesn't see him, and then he stills as his gaze sweeps the rest of the room and settles on Wuxian's unconscious form.

"He has not returned?"
