[ So, the two said their goodbyes when the time had come.
Huaisang definitely was crying tears of happiness at the moment even though he tried his best to hold them back...the tears being happy because he knew he'd see McGillis again.
Upon his return to Qinghe, Huaisang also made his disciples and the elders who were already freaking out worry even more because he promptly fainted upon arrival. Look, he is a relatively delicate man, and after the excitement left him he had no energy reserves whatsoever. So he spent 1-2 days in bed, but you better believe he got a lot of painting done in the meanwhile, read McGillis' original farewell letter, and wrote some poems.
Wei Wuxian (the one from his current time) and Lan Wanji also visited him on account of dealing with his disappearance and he had a chance to bridge some of the gap between them.
But funnily enough, as soon as McGillis makes his appearance in Qinghe (let's say nearby the gates of the clan residence), it takes a shockingly low amount of time for Huaisang to be seen running visibly out of the gates and towards the blond. As if he sensed something new in regards to someone's spiritual energy or was alerted by his ... 'birds' (it was both, in a way.)
His disciples and servants AND advisors are exasperated because they were concerned about his disappearance and him just going out without protection all of a sudden without explaining anything...but he can't help it!! ]
McGillis! You're here!
[ Hope he's prepared for Huaisang to go in for an embrace. Sure he's been planning on dropping by to see McGillis himself soon but plans got derailed for awhile since he had to catch up on a lot of Sect Leader duties. Alas. But that doesn't matter now!! ]
