[What a rude brat, Wei Wuxian thinks fondly, shaking his head as Jin Ling rubs in his yielding to help. He can't be too offended though when it comes after the offer to make him his next round of medicine.
Wei Wuxian remembers that after one of his first meetings with Jin Ling he had been convinced the boy had gotten all of his father's and uncle's worst qualities and nothing of his mother. He's happy to admit that he had been wrong. Shijie is definitely in there, much as Jin Ling tries to hide that compassion away.]
Yeah, yeah, you know I'm not a complete invalid, right? [Even if he kind of feels like it right now. With one last snort, he allows Jin Ling to guide him to the freshly changed bath and then steps away to hold onto the edge of the tub. Once Jin Ling has gone (because he is absolutely refusing help beyond this point) he carefully disrobes and climbs into the water. It's a bit of a pain, but the water feels amazing on his much abused body and he can't help the long sigh of contentment he lets out.
It takes him a while to scrub the grime away partially because of his limitations and partially because there is just so much grime but eventually he feels clean enough to be a functional person again and he exits carefully, changing into the borrowed inn robe. He doesn't call Jin Ling over to help him back, instead pushing back the privacy screen and making his way over to the table where their food is laid out all by himself. Sitting down proves to be an adventure and he will definitely end up needing help standing back up, but that's a problem for future Wei Wuxian and he's not going to think about it.]

Look, I didn't even drown or anything.
