Okay, so maybe he felt like he had something to prove. The last couple fights he'd been in, in Wonderland, had ended with him getting thoroughly trounced, or just playing support and even then he'd cracked a rib or two(though his croquet mallet had come in real handy thank-you-very-much). Even before he'd been dragged to this world, it'd been a long time since he was on equal footing with Lan Wangji in a fight.

He has a few new bruises, by the time Shepard pulls the other guy off him, his nose running blood, but he's grinning, just like always, in spite of it. Wei Wuxian is just trying to twist enough to throw the guy off him, but scrambles to his feet instead, wiping his fist through the mess under his nose and spitting a little blood to the side. It's good to hear a familiar voice, in all the chaos, and he just laughs in response.

"I definitely would've had him!"
