It takes a moment before Jin Ling's equilibrium catches up with him. He is glad these robes are thick, since it'll prevent him from having skinned knees on top of everything else. Nothing was going to spare his pride though. Perhaps surprisingly, he reaches out to take Zizhen's hand when it's offered.
"I was trying!" He grumbles at the push. He scowls and looks at Jingyi. "Why'd you have to go and make a big deal about that?"
"I'm sorry! I'm really sorry, Ling! B- but you're going after him, right? I should if you do-"
"You've done enough!" He snaps and once he's on his feet, he turns and snatches the scepter- which Jingyi now realizes is a cane- and starts toward the door.
Jingyi looks at Zizhen guiltily. "I didn't mean to.. I'm sorry.. I messed this whole thing up!"
Outside, Jin Ling looks around before whistling. He listens for Fairy, but doesn't wait. He hurries as quick as he can further into the gardens. There were so many directions he could've gone though.. this could be hopeless!
Fairy's eyes perk up, but she stays right where she is while Yuan cries. At least, for now.
