[picks up the cloth again and starts to wash his front, just as slow as before; but he keeps his eyes on his face, so it's not exactly as good of a cleaning]
his expression's stopped being distressed; heavy-lidded now, on the mellow side. leans helpfully into his hands, into the washcloth, looking quietly back at him]
[hesitates as the cloth brushes over the brand mark on his chest, his eyes flicking down to it briefly. the look on his face can only be described as solemn; but the real mess is lower down, so he dips the cloth under the water to clean his stomach next. when he brings himself to meet Lan Wangji's eyes again his expression is soft]
[a smile plays on his lips before he wraps his arms loosely around Lan Wangji and rests his chin on his shoulder; he can be moved around as Lan Wangji likes, but he is content to relax as Lan Wangji cleans him up. it might make it harder for Lan Wangji to actually clean him like this unless he does move him around...]
[it is kind of wild how easily Lan Wangji manages to do the gentle manhandling required without really disturbing him or moving his head away from his shoulder, actually. almost like...he might...have a lot of practice at it...?
[Lan Wangji is just naturally good at everything he does, of course! no need to overthink it.
since he isn't jostled around he does end up dozing again, humming in approval every time Lan Wangji brushes the cloth over a spot of skin that's gone cold from being out of the water, or runs a hand through his hair]
[it takes him twice as long as it should to do that--or not, since he's naturally good at everything!--because Wei Wuxian keeps laughing and trying to snuggle back into Lan Wangji when he attempts to get him into towels and robes]
Hanguang-Jun, I'm too cold without you warming me up!
[doesn't put up any more of a fuss; he does already know that Lan Wangji's face is too thick no matter what he tries to do. once they get to bed he continues to cling, long claws lightly poking at their robes]
