And Chu Wanning's first thought was, then what are you doing wasting time with me when you should be with them?
But in a way maybe he already understood. Why burden them? Why go see them now as if to see them for the last time instead of going to find a way to maybe make it so you could have more time?
He frowns, then he turns his head away.]
Who would I even tell? [He doesn't even know your name is he supposed to just ask who was the family of the man from Gusu Lan?
The words are almost irritated but it's only because he's never known how to offer comfort. It's also a strange, roundabout way of making a promise to not tell...though probably not many people would understand it as such.
So he focuses on what he could do instead. There is no poison without a cure. He'd stated as much earlier so it stands to reason, the only thing to do is to find the cure.
But he can barely see and that's a problem that would have to be addressed first.
Whatever is afflicting them is sapping him of his strength and his spiritual energy. He didn't have enough to do much except...
Jiuge was a divine weapon but it is a divine weapon that Huaizui had told him shared a special bond with him, a weapon he could summon with no spiritual energy using only his own soul's energy to call upon it.
Such a thing was never necessary: since little he's always had spiritual energy to spare, even more so because of his high cultivation.
But now, he didn't feel like he could form a spirit haitang let along summon Tianwen.
So, he held out his hand, thinking uncharitably that Huaizui better not have been lying about this all those years ago.]
Jiuge, come forth.
[A brief flash of blue light and a black guqin appeared. It was...a little strange looking, with one end curling into a branch spotted in blooming haitang blossoms. There's a prick of discomfort when he summoned it in his soul but it wasn't particularly bad. Though, clearly, summoning Jiuge this way is possibly more dangerous than doing it the normal way.
Regardless, it's not a problem (at the moment).
The guqin is brimming with spiritual energy as it sits weightlessly in Chu Wanning's arm and it's this energy he siphons away into himself when he touches its strings with his free hand. It wasn't a permanent solution that would help treat the symptoms but not the root of the problem...but it will do for now.
When he's done, he lets the guqin disappear again before holding out his hand to his companion.]

Give me your hand.
