[ Somehow, that theory isn’t a stretch. With practice, Jin Ling may be able to express himself a lot more. A lot of it is conditioning himself into showing them naturally. Right now, he’s quite stiff on how he feels and a lot of it has to do with his childhood. There are things that may not have helped him in the long run, but they have helped shaped him, regardless. He’s making small progress with everything and while he doesn’t really notice it himself, others may have. Perhaps, one day he can express those thoughts with Sizhui and see that Sizhui can relate to his situation as well. It may not be exactly the same situation, but it’s close.
Fairy is satisfied with the petting to some degree. Though, keeps her head slightly turned while Sizhui is there. Her tail swishing against the fabric of Jin Ling’s sweater, tickling him in the process, and somehow making him less stiff. She knows that her master is still laying on her back, but she can’t help it! He seems rather unhappy and all. She wants to at least contribute something. Please hug her a lot, because she will always look for affection from Sizhui at this point.
The carriage is uncomfortable and unpleasant. It’s not a real prison, but its limitations certainly do not help Jin Ling at all in the least. ]
I know.
[ he mumbles in between Fairy’s fur. The train seems to constantly be messing them up, and leaving them with all kinds of challenges. Jin Ling hates it, and the strange trip to home, but not isn’t his cup of tea. Being stuck in an unfamiliar terrain and with worlds that aren’t his own, Jin Ling feels completely helpless thinking about it. If not for Wei Wuxian pulling from that, he might have been a wanderer with no place or destination. How terrifying that would have been! Jin Ling wouldn’t explain it to Sizhui even if he asked. That being, he didn’t know how to explain the sensation or how it feels. If it were something he was familiar with, like his own ears, Jin Ling might not have reacted the way he did.
Perhaps, he had overreacted, but he honestly wasn’t expecting that gesture. He knew why it happened, but he still had trouble processing it. He’s not necessarily angry, but he certainly didn’t like it.! He looks up, giving Sizhui a serious look for his question. ]
W-what is it?
[ Jin Ling mused, while making eye contact with Sizhui. ]
yeah he is a definite keeper friend :D yes! ;A; sorry tag is short
