here is xie lian in the ice garden! it seems he's just admiring the statues, for now - but, when he hears flat, he turns and immediately smiles at him, dipping his head in greeting. san lang is in his ferret form, wrapped around xie lian's neck. ]
san lang makes a chittering noise and seems to give him a look that says - what are you even worried about it's flat! we love flat! - it's a lot of words for a ferret face but it's there.
with a laugh, he moves to lean down, a little. san lang sticks his whole face out and closes his eyes. pets, please. ]
flat raises a hand tentatively, surprised over the fact that xie lian agreed to it…
and then he pets san lang’s head softly; gentle scritches for a good boy. after a couple seconds, he retreats his hand, placing it back in his pocket. ]
[ it's strange - his daemo has been touched before, without his permission, and the pain of it sent xie lian to his knees.
...but this isn't like that at all. it's an odd little feeling of warmth - the sense of friendship and trust, really, gently radiating from his chest. xie lian touches his heart; san lang makes a happy noise and butts his nose into flat's hand as he's leaving. ]
...No, it wasn't. It felt - warm. Perhaps because we have become such good friends.
[ xie lian smiles at him with that, and san lang wriggles in his spot as xie lian reaches up to stroke his lil nose. ] I suppose it's about permission. [ consent is important kids ]
[ cute... xie lian looks very fond, immediately, and nods at him. ]
I agree.
[ soft. and with that, he will reach out, and very gently pet the top of jack's head, with two fingers. ] Hello, Jack. Thank you, for allowing me to return the favor. [ scritch scritch scritch ]

Hello, Flat. Are you out exploring?
no subject
I am!
[ jack sticks its head out from flat’s jacket, chittering in excitement as flat approaches the two of them. ]
But since you’re here, I had a favor to ask. Is that okay!?
no subject
cute.. jack... san lang immediately matches the chitter in the exact same tone. hello, friend!! xie lian himself tilts his head. ]
Of course - you may ask of me anything. What is it?

huh...permission? he wonders what that has to do with his tasks...but maybe it's something about trusting others? that's a nice thought, actually! ]
I think we're great friends!
[ to that, jack sticks its head out from flat's jacket, staring at xie lian expectantly. pet it! ]

That feels...really nice. It's touching--in a literal manner!
