( Jingyi anchored, and thus he's still tired. Very tired. Flopping between areas and people to nap with kind of tired. It hasn't resolved yet, and he hates that, but he can't let him not get around to important questions.
Which is why he's on camera as crossed legs only, laying down on the bench with the ICP swiveled his direction. It's almost like he's shy... but no, he's not, he's just exhausted. )
Everything was a mess and all of us there had strange illusion things to deal with before things went really bad, but I have a question. About my friend.
( A pause. He does, in fact, literally mean this about a friend. )
Say he was in a situation where... certain boundaries were willingly crossed, but what it meant in the illusion was different from what it means outside of the illusion. And explaining what that means and how it's different is kind of important to the one they were crossed with.
( For both sides, but he's more worried about his friend than he is the other guy, for various biased reasons he has no regrets over. )
How do you handle when people here do casual things with 'dating,' but I'm from—he's from—a place where you definitely don't?

Sure. 'M 'n excellent pile sleeper.
( Flexing the talons of one paw, he pats... probably Inigo's side? In what might be reassurance? Before the pat stops and he's leaving his eyes closed, his breathing steadying out. There's a big difference with having other people around, where you can hear their lungs and heart and feel their warmth, and it's less isolating, less alone: safer, on a level his whole life has taught him to trust.
It doesn't escape him that's usually because he's much, much bigger when doing this away from Gusu. When he was little, it was because the elders were around to ... okay this will just get sad, he decides, so instead he opts to turn off thinky thoughts, and simply lets his brain start drifting off to sleep. )

He was right. Jingyi totally is cute in this form. Just a small cuddle dragon - and not even as grumpy or complainy when he's sleeping. (Though Inigo already knows by now that there's so much more to Jingyi. That the other can be so surprisingly nice and thoughtful when it matters, if today has proven anything to Inigo.
So he just smiles as he notices the other drifting off to sleep, gently wrapping his arms around the dragon to keep him close and warm.
Eventually he'll even close his own eyes for a moment, just to enjoy a quick nap as well. ]
