( Jingyi grunts in place of another acknowledgement of the 'lean on me', because he's still watching Inigo, and it's easiest to not move at all with his elbow planted like this. He tries to think what he would do, on either side of the same situation. He's not sure, other than definitely tell whoever it is. Let things bleed freely to figure out what kind of healing's needed, if any.
Harder imagining being the one confessed to, if only because until this last month, he's been surrounded by his clan most of his life. If it was from another branch, he... would have complicated thoughts, because of how they love, but he likes to think that past an initial surprise, he'd sort through what it might mean, or what it won't.
He's way too tired to figure out the romantic lives he doesn't have. He also thinks... )
Tidus? He seems like a good guy... maybe not into adoption, but whatever.
( From passing conversations and awareness he's also one of the long term abductees. Though the second comment is a hazily recalled text conversation in illusion, and sounds about as random as it is. Jingyi makes himself sit up, back to propping his hands on his tail when he sways a bit. )
I could... ask him, not about you, but about the guys thing. You did just kind of call me a cut sleeve... to the whole train.
( A huff, not amused or unamused. Just noting that anyone who figured out Inigo's panic when Jingyi was oblivious had possibly drawn their own conclusions. )
I guess to me it's... is he that much of a jerk he wouldn't be your friend after, if he didn't end up feeling the same way? ... If you... you haven't pressed him up against anything to kiss him yet, it's not like you suddenly will just 'cause you open up to him. He's your friend, your closest one.
( He squints, because he thinks that's the implication? He's rambling by now, stream of consciousness style. )
He knows you. Even if it was awkward for a moment... you both still care, right? And in better cases... in those cases, you open his eyes to something he didn't realise he could consider in the first place.
( This feels like a pre game to talking with Dennis, only from the opposite side of who isn't saying what. He's also listing to the other side, and his voice has been getting progressively more gravelly with tired. )
Why do you believe so strongly... you're gonna lose him entirely?
