[Beggars can't be choosers in this situation. Xingchen is simply lucky enough that someone, anyone was there at the right time to drag him out of danger. Not that he knows what is going through Zhou Zishu's mind right now. At least he's here.
He can hear the strain this has put on his friend and under any other circumstance he would do everything in his own power to help ease it. But Xingchen is...weak. So he settles back against Zhou Zishu, his head resting against his shoulder while his still-good arm reaches to touch where he can, to reassure.]
I don't think comfort is a priority at this point.
[There's a little puff of air, an attempt at a laugh. He had to laugh or he'll end up letting despair swallow him whole.]
