Jingyi considers this new perspective and finds himself nodding. It was better to think he might've helped than continue blaming himself for hurting his friend. He curls closer against Zizhen and smiles softly when he's kissed. "Yeah, you're right.. someone needed to say something." Though maybe not something that would embarrass Jin Ling like he had. He just hadn't realized how poor his condition was.

With a slight sniffle as he tries to let go of his guilt, he lifts his head to return the kiss only to Zizhen's lips instead. A part of Jingyi wanted to ask why their friends had been acting that way, but any motivation to stop kissing in order to do that dwindles rapidly. He loops his arms around Zizhen's shoulders and eagerly deepens the kiss.

Determined to find Yuan, Jin Ling pushes himself to move faster and further than normally. If he were thinking about it, he might even be impressed that he could do this much. Had his doctors been making him hold back more than he realized? It wasn't important now. Nothing was except finding Yuan.

Fortunate this task suddenly becomes much easier when Fairy bursts out from a bush and starts guiding him. The click of his cane is the only warning as Jin Ling's dog takes him to the pagoda. He holds out his hand to touch the side of it as he rounds the corner. His heartbreaks into pieces as his eyes fall on the sweet boy with tears streaming down his face.

He's such a fool! It shouldn't have mattered that Yuan stopped wearing his mother's ring. He just wants the boy to be happy and he should've focused on that alone. Cautiously, he moves forward to sit by Yuan's side. He's worried if he moves too fast or invades the new Lan's space too much he'll run away again.

"Yuan.. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have.. I was trying to.." Gods, what does he even say to explain himself here? Zizhen would have something romantic and sweet to say here. He probably would've written it a dozen of times while he was apart from his love so it would come perfectly when needed. Jin Ling.. uses a different approach. "Where the hell have you been?!"

That is so not what he wanted to say.
