Lan Tian picks up Lu Meng gently from the floor, helping him to his feet. Wu Yun moves to his other side, supporting his shoulder.
The wound around Lu Meng's waist has started bleeding again. Wu Yun looks around the room looking for something they can stop the bleeding with.
"Take this," Xue Zhuan says, and unfastens the sash around his waist, letting his robes drape open from his shoulders like a sleeved cape.
Wu Yun wraps the sash tightly around Lu Meng with Lan Tian's help. Lu Meng lets out a huff at the tightness of their binding.
"Now I can't breathe for an entirely different reason," he says, running his fingers over the makeshift bandage.
Wu Yun pats his back. "At least this way all your blood will stay inside you."
Lu Meng mumbles, "Along with all my air."
