Wei Wuxian can be as miffed as he wants. And distrustful. Xue Yang is content with himself now, for the most part. And with this life he's carved out in Gazin. Song Lan and Xiao Xingchen have his loyalty. He'd do anything for them, anything at all. Right up to and including disarming himself as much as possible. They'd been the ones to rearm him.

Being watched is nothing new. Wei Wuxian will come to accept the changes he's made in himself, or he won't. He'll continue as he has been.

He grins and takes a drink. "For us it's nothing. For these people, it isn't. So those brought here like us are leaned on for help."
