( The 'kind of cute' gets a snort, Jingyi amused, because he has no illusions about the skills he doesn't have. For the most part, at least. He's sitting himself down when Inigo's asking about the how to's in ribbon wearing, and it takes him a moment to reflect that's kind of him, instead of the initial reaction, to think, why would I expect you to be anything like a Lan?

Because, he recalls to himself, no one knows what ribbon wearing is back home when they only meet on train. Which is why he can wave his hand and shake his head, letting his fingers come to rest briefly on the ribbon and embroidery on it, stretched across his forehead. )

Anywhere you want, this is more of a clan thing than anything most people do. Wearing it in your hair would be tough, ( he says, quirking a grin that shows just a hint of teeth, making a jest of it; ) but I don't know. Wear it as a bracer, or wherever and however makes sense for you. Just has to be on you for the protection charm to work.

( The other charms are for the ribbon, to let it last; he doesn't mention them offhand, not thinking they're as relevant. )
