He had to let go of Wei Ying's arm, but it was a worthy sacrifice, as it meant he could loop it around the man instead, steadying him against his shoulder as he pushed healing energy into him.

A warmth spread inside him at the words, an almost guilty pleasure that would have felt a lot more guilty had he been sober. Instead, he just made a low noise - "Mmn." - and continued with his work.

Unfortunately, he couldn't concentrate quite as well as he would otherwise, so after a few minutes his hand dropped and he looked down at Wei Ying, waiting to see if he was any better.
