"They were surprised it's only been three days since we've met," he answers, his smile turning into a smirk. Yuan was impressively good at being subtle. He wonders what in the future they'll be able to get away with talking about in the presence of others without anyone realizing what they're truly saying.
"Three days?" Jingyi asks shocked. "Oh, yeah, Yuan! You didn't finish telling me how you two met."
They're both relieved to hear Yuan is feeling better. Jingyi gently lets go of Yuan's wrist and sits back more comfortably. He does glance at the door wondering what was taking Liling so long though.
Jin Ling hesitates at the question, realizing he doesn't have a cover story for how they met. However, it isn't too hard to make one up. "We met while I was nighthunting. He was traveling to Yanling to visit and on his way his party got attacked by a couple dire bears. Lucky for him, Fairy and I were traveling nearby."
Jingyi was starting to think that was a sweet 'meet cute' when he thinks.. a couple dire bears? Jin Ling expects him to believe he took on monstrous sized bears with just Fairy? Either his friend's skill has gotten significantly better or he's full of shit.
