Nodding along with Xichen's assessment of the things he doesn't need to know, he hums seriously. As reassuring as Xichen is trying to be—and Mingjue recognizes it for what it is, because Xichen is nothing if not practiced at reassuring—it's not. Or, well, his words are and Mingjue trusts them, but the way Xichen's reacting to Mingjue himself is still all wrong and Mingjue's not...actually sure how to fix it.

And he does want to fix it.

So all he can do for the moment is squeeze Xichen's arm in his own awkward attempt at reassurance and frown at him in concern. "Same with me. A couple days. Those things dragged me to a building and stripped me almost naked before I could get away, though, and after that I went hunting through this city for someplace with a bed that was mostly dry."
