[Lan Wangji didn't search down the fight he was just in either, but it certainly found him. now, in its wake, he's still visibly marked up -- his own injuries from their night of festival chaos are further along than Wei Wuxian's, but he's added new ones. the marks are stark against his pale face, and Wei Wuxian will recognize the stiff movements that tipped him off to Lan Wangji's broken leg when they were force-marched through Wen territory, a few years and a lifetime ago.

Lan Wangji is clearly preoccupied with whatever got him in this state, because for once he doesn't instantly notice Wei Wuxian first -- he's busy gritting his teeth and concentrating on getting down the street without showing much evidence of injury, and Wei Wuxian can tell he still has his senses peeled for whatever might be going on behind him. Wei Wuxian has at least a few more heartbeats to decide what to do with this.]
