I wake up slowly. I let out a breath. At least, I think I'm awake. I hear the noises of the forest. The leaves rattling against each other. The birds call. It's flooding in like it so often does. I can't tell if I'm dreaming if I'm awake. I shakily stand up. 

"Lan Zhan?" I call.

"I'm here." I hear him call.

I nod.

"Did you go somewhere?" I ask.

"Yes." He says.

I don't really care if I want to know.

"How do you feel?" He asks.

"A little better." I stifle a cough.

"Wei Ying you should go to Lotus Pier." He says.

"Why?" I ask.

"To heal." He says.

"I'm fine." I say.

I can feel him giving me a look. Luckily, I can't see. I grip my stick.

"We should keep moving." I say.

"Alright but let me look at your wounds." He says.

I almost choke. 

"I'm not wounded." I lie.

"Please let me look at your injuries." He says.

I let out a breath.

"Fine." I drop off my stick.

I hear his arm reach out. I grab his hand. 

"My mask is off limits." I say.
