[eventually, jin ling will grow accustomed to train-styled living and all the accommodations that come with it, other loyal voidtreckers included. maybe he doesn't know many people here, but the ones he does – or sort of does! – will vouch for him as a good, decent person. they've no choice in the particulars when it comes to individuals who appear, though jin ling's already got his jiujiu, a few other uncles, a couple friends here and there— oh, and jin guangyao had been around before for a brief time, hadn't he? see, this obviously means there's a chance he'll show up sometime, even if jin ling shouldn't hold his breath (since it wouldn't do for him to turn blue).
sizhui wouldn't expect jin ling to ask outright when it comes to these things, it's why he'll do it himself, waiting for the perfect moment to surprise him with brightly-colored paper and the promise of fun handicrafts. they will both enjoy themselves, regardless, although in sizhui's opinion, there's nothing wrong with taking pride in their work.
just because they aren't back home, that doesn't mean he isn't still following his own strictly set schedule. up real early, combative practice in the gym, meditate, chores, et cetera and so forth until bedtime, then wash, rinse, repeat with missions in-between. if jin ling needs some motivation, he could come rouse him for practice, they'll do it together, go their separate ways afterward and jin ling's got no need to worry about jiang cheng berating him for slacking off. wei wuxian, however, may be a lost cause in this dog expedition— which is not a bad thing, people have fears and those fears should be respected. it's just unfortunate fairy possibly won't experience any affection from either of the wei wuxians. again, she will not be lacking, there'll be plenty others who shall provide wherever she needs and if those aren't enough? jin ling's always here for attention.
embarrassment and adorable companions aside momentarily, he focuses on jin ling's comment, thoughtfully narrows his eyes then lets the slightest amused smirk quirk his lips at the edges.]
Because I want to, of course, and it won't be if I name them all by color!
[this way, each color (red, yellow, blue or whatever else) all have one single name, which makes it even easier to replace them when the time ultimately comes. simple as that, really! also: he cannot be stopped once he's gotten started and jin ling brought it upon himself by giving him such a sweet gift.] You needn't explain yourself to me, Jin Ling, it's fine. [he simply appreciates someone thinking of him.
oh, sizhui hears it alright, but is he deterred? mmm, no, not exactly, probably much to jin ling's dismay. they've already flustered him this much, a little more shouldn't be too awful.] They will be a nice touch to the cabin.
