[okay, so here's the situation as Lan Wangji sees it:
- there is a small bell that he knows, from Ritsuka in the conversation that made him conclude that he guesses he'll die for her now, is meant for calming animals. - there's a cage that looks like it's meant for a small animal here. the cage is shitty. - whatever is in the cage appears to be both badly taken care of and hiding from the world after being stuffed into a shitty leather bag. it is presumably not calm. - the bell is not on the animal. - Wei Wuxian is frankly bad at small animals and has probably been a dipshit about this one.
all of these facts together may explain why instead of doing anything else here, Lan Wangji frowns at the cage for sixty seconds
carefully draws an array immediately around the cage that will keep anything from fleeing into the rest of the cave or knocking the rest of the desk stuff over, temporarily, and
reaches for the cage with his right hand and uses Heresy to destroy first it, then the pouch, in quick succession.
his goal: to touch whatever small animal is inside with his right hand, use emotion share to go CALM DOWN YOU'RE SAFE at it, and hopefully grab it, all before it really has time to react to the fact that the cage and pouch have been vaporized from this earth.
