[ He'll take note of that; if he were in a better mood he'd have smiled at the first comment, but it made him feel a little glad nonetheless.
So he'll sit on the bed, hands fiddling with something he took deep out of his sleeves. It's a red ribbon, which used to belong to Wei Wuxian. He's...trying to cope, and it may not be the best way with the loss of a friend. But he's lost so many people close to him that sometimes, it might be the only way you know how. ]
I'm doing my best. It's a little hard because this isn't the first time I've lost him.

Or maybe it'd still be that hard. It's always hard losing close friends and family...you know.
[There could be any number of explanations for that, but he'd be lying if he said his mind didn't jump to the worst one, the relevant one. He shakes his head after that's out there and moves to take a seat nearby.]
It is, ja. I truly am sorry for your loss, Huaisang. And I'm sorry that the trial today was such a mess, I can only imagine how difficult it was to sit through that.
There's some strange time differences going on, I think. But...this Wei-xiong was taken from a time before everyone back home turned on him a-and...killed him...
[ He figured that was the simplest explanation, really.
As Yeager offered his condolences, he wipes at his eyes. ]
I was scared...really scared we wouldn't catch his killer. It's not going to bring him back, and it was...hard, yes. But I guess I could take some comfort in that, if anything.
