[Wei Wuxian laughs and shakes his head.]

Don't worry about it, I'm sure you'll remember! And even if you don't, you'll get to know everyone yourself over time. [The thought of which brings a soft smile to his face. As long as Sizhui remembered Felix, the rest would work itself out on its own. He isn't concerned about the others getting to know him. Maybe he's biased considering he doesn't know him well, but he can't help feeling like they'll love him.]

I have other friends here too. Mal is another. But like I said, I'm sure you'll meet all of them eventually. [There is one though, one who he's failed to mention because this is one he does want Sizhui to remember. This is someone he's deliberately set apart.]

There's someone else I'd like you to know about, [He starts, his expression softening further as it becomes clear that this is not a man like Felix, this is if anything, his exact opposite.]

His name is Uchiha Itachi. If you're ever in any kind of trouble at all and I'm not around, reach out to him. Itachi is...[He pauses in consideration as he searches for the words, and Sizhui will notice the noticeably soft affection on his face.]

Don't ever tell him I said this because he doesn't like hearing it, but Itachi is one of the kindest people I've ever met. He can be prickly and cold, and he has little patience for careless incompetence, but he is, at his core, so deeply, deeply kind, Sizhui. [The warmth in his expression remains steady.]

He's dear to me. [He says simply, and the word zhiji lays dormant on his tongue.] I trust him more than anyone else here. He's a good man. The best.

[Wei Wuxian blinks, seeming to remember himself, and he flashes Sizhui with his smile.]

I hope you'll meet him soon.

Mmhmm, [he nods affirmingly, knowing full well that he'll meet everyone in due time, but he's still extra pleased to know names in better preparation for when the time eventually comes. ‘felix’ is definitely a name he won't be forgetting anytime soon though, given the circumstances, and with enough time, he will ultimately (hopefully) prove wei wuxian's assumption right.

mal. another name he stows away for later, which is for the best, considering how wei wuxian's expression shifts. the way he softens and his tone of voice, it's clear to see that whoever he's going to mention next is likely one of the most important people of all and sizhui's heartbeat pitter-patters with an excitement that's becoming harder and harder to contain the longer he tries. uchiha itachi, not a name he recognizes, so no one he's encountered on the space station yet, but he figures that will also come soon enough too.]

I won't tell, I promise. [because wei wuxian has said not to and because he understands how people don't like being told these sorts of things. nevertheless, this man sounds like someone he can trust even without wei wuxian's gushing, though it does lend credence to what's being said.] And I hope to meet him soon. Everyone, really, you've told me so much about so many people already.

[there are many questions he'd like to ask, mostly about itachi, and still he has the sense to not poke around too much in business that isn't his own. he can sense it, however, in the way wei wuxian talks, as he wouldn't verbalize nonsensically, and the fondness with which he does speaks volumes where words don't.]

My hope is that I'll make a good impression on your marvelous-sounding friends. [sizhui giggles.] It wouldn't do to embarrass myself right off the bat, after all.

[This child. Wei Wuxian huffs out a laugh and sets a hand on Sizhui's shoulder, squeezing once in assurance and then allowing his hand to linger there.]

Don't be silly, of course you'll make a good impression. [You're my a-Yuan he doesn't say out loud, though he's sure the sentiment is written clearly across his face. Before he can start to get more emotional again, he lets his hand drop and nudges Sizhui in the direction of the room they've come up on.]

Alright, alright, enough of me being embarrassing, let's get this tour started!
