[ His brother knows him all too well. He stays standing there for a moment before turning back the way his brother came, except a little more at an angle, really. ]
Come on.
[ Wuque might, just might have to make sure he doesn't run into anyone or anything. Especially when he started walking in the direction of where the water should be, compared to what his brother told him. Compared to the map in his mind. ]
[Keeping his hand on him, Wuque only adjusts Xiaoyu to help him avoid people or other obstacles. Otherwise, he doesn't interfere. He knows how good his brother's memory is and with enough details, his twin can handle this place without trouble.
He's just here to make extra certain of that fact.]
[ With the way his memory works and the details that were given to him, people wouldn't know that he was blind. Putting the place to memory is another reason he likes walking the city. Not just in case he goes blind, but so he knows where things are later, without looking them up.
Maybe later he'll even draw a map of the place. He turns almost last minute, still in the same direction, but further south before stopping. ]
Should be...
[ He cants his head slightly picturing what was in front of them. ]
[Wuque nods and gentle releases his arm. He's already got his qi ready just in case, gathered in his hands and fan held before him as he approaches the water. If anything is planning on jumping out he's clearly ready to stop it.]
[ Xiaoyu listens to Wuque's footsteps, but he's also listening for anything that might be in the water, as well. ]
Minding my own business. I was kneeling beside the water, it's cooler the closer you get to it. I turned, intent on coming to get you, and drag you out here with me.
[ He's glad that he hadn't dragged his brother out with him now. ]
[He has a feeling like he's missing something but he trusts his brother. If he feels it's not important that he should know then it must not be. So, he turns his gaze ahead of them so he can focus on getting Xiaoyu home quickly.]

Four feet in front of us.

What were you doing here when you went blind?

Minding my own business. I was kneeling beside the water, it's cooler the closer you get to it. I turned, intent on coming to get you, and drag you out here with me.

It's a beautiful place.
[He's trying to offer comfort to him, of course. Even as he investigates.]
no subject
Where you're at you should be able to practically see to the bottom.
no subject
[Perhaps whatever creature did this is no longer here? Unless it's hiding in the mud beneath the surface.
Wuque steps back and returns to his brother.]
I think we should ask about water beings who might cause blindness, gege. There might be a clue in that.
no subject
[ He feels his brother at his side and turns slightly. ]
We should head back home. Do you want to grab anything first?
no subject
[Reaching out, he moves to touch his brother.]
I only wish to get you to the safety of our home. I'll lift you now if you're ready.
no subject
[ He feels that touch and nods. ]
I'm ready when you are.

[Wuque then sweeps Xiaoyu right up into his arms before taking off, ready to carry his brother the whole way.]
no subject
[ He leans into his brother and laughs. ]
I bet this looks the sight.
no subject
[Wuque looks down at him in confusion.]
A sight?
no subject
[ The confusion in his brother's voice has him laughing slightly and he pats his brother's chest, shaking his head. ]
Most people don't carry others, didi. Much less their siblings.
no subject
[He literally is still confused here. This is a perfectly logical thing to do to him.]
no subject
[ He tries not to laugh and instead listens to the area around them. ]

We should look up some of the lores of this place too. We've run into a few things since being here.

[Honestly he can see things that Xiaoyu can't as well but he's too humble to say that.]
no subject
[ One way or another. ]
