[don't worry, jin ling, he's not ghosting you or leaving the message on read, just doing something far more inappropriate during that brief span of time. hopefully, the wait was worth it and considering the message he gets in return, jingyi can safely assume that yes, it was.]
yeah? glad you like it since now i've got a mess on my hands or hand and everywhere else, i guess
too bad you're wayyy over there or else i'd ask you to help me out
[ After this conversation he wants to look at Jingyi in person and okay maybe he wants to see all that in person too even if he feels anxious about it too. ]
[ Jin Ling is all too eager to do it, to get close to Jingyi after this situation even if he feels a bit over his head.
There's a little voice in his head telling him to admit he's never done anything like that before but he's prideful and he's insecure that anything could change the other's mind. ]
[‘yeah, well—’ but reconsidering it, does he really want to argue more?]you did, yeah
ok, sounds good, i'll see you in a bit
[a bit because he imagines it'll take jin ling far longer than him to get there. caiyi town is only about five-and-a-half miles away from cloud recesses, it doesn't take jingyi long to get there by sword, find the nearest inn to check into and wait patiently (as possible, anyway) for his friend to show up as well.]
[ It definitely takes Jin Ling longer to get there than it does Jingyi but he does reach it and then makes sure to know exactly where to find Jingyi and as he comes into the inn he's full of nervous and almost turns himself right back around.
But instead, he finds the room that Jingyi had gotten, a light knock to announce his arrival and a deep breath to try and calm down the nervousness that's kicked into gear. It's easy over text but in person, he is a whole lot less confident and determined not to show it. ]

[ He keeps looking back at that picture and it's very distracting and effective. ]

What are you thinking?
no subject
because i'm already getting up to prepare for it
[carefully (yet still excitedly), of course, since it wouldn't do to warn anyone about his sneaking out.]
i'm thinking about how great your mouth would feel
