[clearly, this means he'll have to bind jin ling's hands and-slash-or arms to keep him from doing that! mostly because he finds it rather nice that his friend is being so open and wants him to continue, even if it isn't difficult to imagine how embarrassing it must be to say all of this while they're face-to-face. maybe if it were a different situation and they were simply speaking over the comms, it might not be so bad? but either way, it's true, sizhui's far better at expressing himself than most people.

how unfortunate, it's going to partially be his undoing and he'll reveal something he's been keeping close to his chest.]

Do you really think your uncle will make fun of you? Come now, Jin Ling, he cares about you so much, I'm sure he would love to receive anything you gift to him!

Oh, and to be fair, there is one thing I've been particularly bad at. [wait, no, don't say that! his turn to try and shut his mouth, although the words are still bubbling up, prompting him to try even harder by dumping the little paper snake into the box and raising the hand to clap over his mouth.]
