You... know that you don't have to make the words bounce inside your mind only, yes? Finding family that you've never known as you know people know is - I mean, must be pretty...
That's fair. Maybe it's a good place to start? Learn more about each other. Not what other people have told you or haven't, but just - spend time around each other? Train together, that always helps...
[Approximately a fuckton, since he'll want it with gold. Look, if he's going to do this, he wants to do it right!]
Missing? No.
Dad is getting us a dog for my birthday. A family dog.
[Which is not an answer to the question, but he's trying to get used to saying the "dad" thing, instead of something more formal that just seemed right when Jin Zixuan was, you know, dead.]
[ Yeah, that much Sizhui could figure out on his own, though he also knows that Jin Ling knows about bows and will very much not allow for a bow of inferior quality. So it will be fine. ]
That sounds awesome - I can't wait to meet it!
Will you be all right if you turn into a cat fully again, though?

Well. Messy.

Don't know each other.
Not the good things. Not the bad things, either.

Training together is a good idea.
[That's pretty neutral. Useful, even.]
no subject
Doesn't it? Do you think he's as good as you with the bow?
no subject
Nobody's as good with the bow as me.
Well... I guess if anyone's as good, it would be him.
[Good archery genes!(?!)]
no subject
Yes! I can't wait to hear what you think!
no subject
Also: how is this suddenly a settled thing?! But... Jin Ling supposes he can live with that.]
I don't think he came here with a bow.
He won't be used to mine.
[It will be really weird if his dad turns out to suck at archery after all this talk, so this is his preemptive excuse.]
no subject
You're right about that. Do you think someone here will be able to make a good bow by the New Year?
[ He means the Lunar one, of course. ]
no subject
[That is a brilliant idea! Even though Jin Ling feels a little bad that he needed Sizhui to think of it for him.]
no subject
It's a little sooner than his birthday, right?
no subject
Right.
I'll get him a bow.
no subject
Right! And you know if you need extra Chroma, we're here.
How about you? Are you missing something or needing something? Other than Fairy, of course.

no subject
As long as I have my voice, it will listen to me.
[Or so he hopes. And maybe he'll just ride the dog around, that sounds like a great idea.]
no subject
That's fair. I am really looking forward, now!
no subject
I'll let you know as soon as it's here. Okay?
