The way Wrathion says that, the parallel that runs through Wei Wuxian's life, gives him pause. So much so that he in fact stills, observing Wrathion for a moment, before he nods.
"He's your soulmate." A translation of a concept that was deeper: the person who knows you better than you know yourself, who is there, who is incalculably important, having nothing to do with trappings of love or lust or bonds of social connections. Two souls, entwinned. That he happens to have found himself married to his own soulmate is inconsequential to the understanding of what two such souls are. "Do you know him best in turn?"
Does Wrathion know him best, and have time for him? Wei Wuxian finds that latter self evident given what they're doing, and Anduin is a man of patience, but not a man who is infallible. Most men are far from that, whatever their... species, he supposes, unsure of what word encompasses the variety of peoples he's met who are and are not human, but still mirrors of each other, in so many fascinating ways.
