Will hasn't had to be strong for others for a very, very long time. It's so foreign to him now to rein in his emotions. And even though he knows Wanyin was worried for Riley too, he's grateful that his friend is being strong for him. He never expected that Jiang Cheng would come cry with him -- he didn't seem that type. But he's still just so grateful he came to be with Will at all.

There's a tiny spark of relief when Wanyin confirmed that he couldn't detect anything amiss. Will didn't sense any of the magics he's familiar with at play either. But in his distressed state, it would've been easy for Will to overlook something. Jiang Cheng, at least, had a little more objectivity.

Once Wanyin finished examining Riley, Will -- who was still on the floor -- reached up for his hand. Tea and incense could come later. Will needed his friend with him on the floor so he could lean against him, hold him, something, anything to wring out an iota of comfort.

"Thank you... for helping."
