"Aren't we the same age?" Wei Wuxian wondered out loud, asking no one in particular. "How can I be a brat to someone who's the same age as me? Wen-gongzi, you need to relax." Clearly the tension was getting to him.

"Da-ge," Nie Huaisang mumbled, barely seeming aware. He had to find a way to contact his brother. There were a number of ways, yet he wasn't quite certain how to go about it yet. He needed to have even less focus on him. Hopefully Wei Wuxian would keep drawing most of the attention. It seemed inevitable.

"This is idiotic," Jin Zixuan muttered, not that quietly. Were they supposed to just stand here all day? It was a disgrace.
