[ . . . . this is so funny - but also really embarrassing. Wow! She kind of hates the way that she's embarrassed too, because it means she can't purely enjoy Jin Ling being embarrassed but -
Well, the fluttering feeling in her chest isn't exactly unwelcome. It makes her heart beat a bit harder, but it's not painful, so she knows it's not her rib injury. A hand comes up to her mouth to try to obscure the smile on her face at his stumbling, but she gives him a smile regardless. There's a lot that he went back and forth on there - and she actually wasn't sure if he even remotely liked her before now, but... if he's mentioning his uncle's approval...
She leans in a little bit closer - partially to play, partially so she can see his face better.]
[NO, do NOT look at his FACE. He sort of hides it down until he can't really do that anymore, so he's forced to hike his chin up again proudly.]
...I--I could! [STOP. Once he stopped being a stupid, embarrassed teenage boy.] But it isn't... that simple! If I'm--I have to return home. And you have to return home.
You have family, remember? You can't abandon them.
[She needs to tease him or else she'll die from her own embarrassment - but at the mention of that, she nods.]
... I know. I would never leave. There are people waiting for me - and a job they want me to do, that I think I finally have courage for. I do not think it is simple, or easy. Even now - have to stop being a ghost to go home.
[there's quITE A FEW BARRIERS HERE, but - ]
But... Упрямый. I think I get stubborn for what is important. So I will be stubborn in trying to see you again - like I said that I would.
I do not like saying goodbye - so I will try not to. Only... До свидания. Similar to 'goodbye' but really means 'until next we meet'.
She listens to him butcher it - before she repeats it again, slowly for him.] Da-svi-dan-ya. [ . . . but she smiles anyway, because she always likes to hear people borrow her language for the words they want to say.]
.... I will carry you in my heart, even if it takes very long time.
But... important then - to enjoy time together until we part, yes?

Though at that - she can't help but smile again, even if it looks like the edges want to leak out into laughter. She barely suppresses it, before giving him a smile.]
I hope not... Or I will have to be even faster to find you again, before you can.

Should I ask different question?
Do you think you could like me, Ling?

[Family is important in his culture, okay. ]

[Oh, whew. At least she... understands. But then that just makes everything worse in the long run. Truly missed connections.]
До свидания. [He butchers it, but whatever.] Fine... До свидания when this is all over, even if... it isn't possible to speak again.

Yeah... [His face is hot again. Wow, he won’t EVER get how she can say things like that so boldly with a straight face.] I..
I lied before. [Obviously.] I won’t forget you.
