[nodding along, laughing]

Hopefully we can find even more missions to accomplish in that time, even if we gotta self-assign them.

I feel like I didn't get to experience as much of the modern human world as I would've liked, so might as well take advantage of the opportunity.

[bindings]

I was only just starting to. [experience the human world, she means. maybe she is a little sad about that, but... she's conscious here. so at least she has that.]

[hasteful]

[tilts his head]

Yeah? Where were you before?

[bindings]

Liyue. I had lived most of my life in the mountains, away from humans. [girl you are also human don't refer to them like that] I made a friend, and because of her, I felt...

[a pause.]

I felt.

[hasteful]

[the way that the other swords will just accept that shenhe is also not human help,

but he listens and - smiles a little, at the repetition]

... Emotions are interesting, huh? I'm still getting used to mine, too.

But I think... I'd rather choose this, than not having them. What do you think?

[bindings]

[help incognito forever]

Yes. [there isn't much hesitation here. she glances at him.] ... I am limited in what I can feel, but what I can, I hold onto. I would choose this every time.

[hasteful]

[there's a little flash of curiosity in his gaze, and he opens his mouth - before pausing. it's not like he hasn't noticed the ways in which shenhe has skirted around talking certain things.

so he'll just say - ]

... I won't ask for details, if you don't want me to.

Do you ever wish you could - I dunno, feel more than what you have? Or is it... [he glances away for a moment, and then when he speaks again, it's a fraction of his own truth] Or maybe that almost feels like too much to ask for.

[bindings]

[she's silent for a couple of moments, really thinking that over.]

It feels like too much to ask for. [but.] Still... I do wish for that, sometimes. I don't think it's possible. But I do wish.

[hasteful]

[he nods at that]

Mm. I've got a wish or two that feels impossible.

Then - I hope you get to feel a whole lot of things, Shen-san. Hopefully more good than bad, but even if you get hit with tough one, know you've got friends like me who'll sit through it with you.

[bindings]

... You use that word so easily.

[friend, she means.]

Thank you.

[hasteful]

[hmm. he looks thoughtful about that, a little sheepish]

Ah, I guess I do... I don't get a chance to make many - and none really last... so I guess I like to seize the opportunity when I have it.

[and it's easier for him to interact with the world, assuming everyone is a friend. still, he knows that he's kind of an outlier...]

But it's okay - if you don't consider me one yet, though. [since she wasn't sure about her and nahri] I like to go fast, but I can be patient too. I can wait to earn it.

[bindings]

[she shakes her head a little when he says that.]

No... it isn't that. [or maybe it is a little, but it's more like:] I have only had one, before this. It doesn't come easy to me.

I don't mind. I just wonder how good of a friend I could be to you in return.

[hasteful]

Oh... Hmm, well - it'll vary with other people probably, but...

[a light little shrug]

You don't need to do anything to be a good friend to me. I just want to spend time with you. I like to enjoy your company.

Just be yourself, and do what you want to do - that's more than enough for me.

[bindings]

[there's a pause, and then - a little like a joke:]

Even if I'm strange?

[she knows she's strange! but she's found people who like her despite that. it's nice.]

[hasteful]

Between you and me, Shen-san, I think everyone's strange. [help]

I like that you don't hide who you are. Everyone should just get to do what they like, and be who they are. That's what I think.

[bindings]

[help she agrees with that, her lips twitching]

Well then. I suppose when you put it that way, it must be true.
