He is weary to the bone, in countless ways, but he remembers now that it is over. They completed their work; Aornis is gone. Luo Binghe will soon lose the power of fear over them. Claudius will walk into his wedding day unburdened, and Lan Wangji will walk beside him. Claudius' fingers are soothing as they pet his hair and forehead ribbon, and Lan Wangji considers telling the weight of the tiny gesture he has just made, but he keeps it to himself for now. Claudius likes slowly uncovering information. "You have known how much I care for you since that truth spell."
