"Just like we did when we were younger," Jiang Cheng agrees, voice soft and quiet.
When it had been him and Wei Wuxian and Nie Huaisang in Gusu, playing around and getting into just enough trouble that he had been worried about his father finding and scolding them. As much as he worries about a-Ling - the both of them - he recognises that this is now part of them growing up.
His fingers brush over the charm again before he laughs softly.
"It's better than not having it," he agrees. He wishes that he could say more - do more, even - but there's not all that much he is capable of right now. He feels a little awkward thinking about all his gains and losses, but at least he is trying.
