It's like they were expecting him, or are always this prepared for newcomers to come stumbling in, apparently from nowhere. There's no way to not frame him as an outsider, out of place, but even in these woods, Tidus feels like he found himself in the middle of somewhere he shouldn't be.

Even if those tail flicks coming from Jingyi are...impatience? So Tidus reads them as, impatience for how long this has taken for them to get him. But he's stood, along with Sizhui, and Tidus does as well, up on his feet. Some dirt clings to the bottom of his legs, but he doesn't mind the mess.

"Uh, yeah." A slow start, awkward, but he'll regain himself. "The train finally let us out. It wasn't answering or letting us do anything 'til now."

To let Jingyi know, we tried, but they've only come as quickly as they could.

"Wei Wuxian from...another world's helping me be here. He'll help us get back."

Since everyone is being introduced, and he won't leave out the uncle from this conversation, despite not present physically. And to warn Jingyi too, of another's presence in the connection to be made. He glances between the two, gaze settling on Jingyi.

"We'll go as soon as you're ready." A pause, and he looks behind his shoulder. "--I can go down there if you want privacy."

You know, just an offer. Is that what would be polite in Jingyi's culture? He's trying.
