( with the paladin they'd sort of rescued trailing in after them, it's also easy for wei wuxian to spin this situation. he waves toward the paladins, and they tense, but the sight of a fellow in known armour turns threats to situational reports, and wei wuxian inserts himself into the conversation.

the sitrep isn't necessarily helpful in full, but in particulars, there's enough to work with. he glances to bucky and flashes a smile to the group, a much more coordinated and calm man than he was when he'd been shrieking and latching onto him earlier, asking to be saved.

there's less dog. he's much more in his own skin when not scared right bloody out of it.

he clasps a shoulder, nods, and aims a grim smile at bucky, who has heard most of the conversations, he presumes. lifting his flute, he likewise lifts his brows. )

Heard about our paladin souls stuck in mires? I know where I can help. Can you watch my back while I play them out of their stillness?
