[ oh my god. this is wildin. he will allow this - as long as it's not on his injured shoulder from sunday, but he can perch, if he wants? when he pokes the screen he can stick his finger straight through it. ]
Whoa, careful. [ he continues adding to the notes as this is happening, still in binary. ] "Participant is a little more touchy than usual." Is what I just wrote.
You always want to be this close to me? You're gonna make me blush, Rynlan!
[ don't tease
he hums, though, adding that. ] But you're right on both counts. It's a language and a code. I won't bore you too much with the history of it, but it's how we give computer processors instructions, and can also be translated into letters. Each string of eight characters represents a letter.
[ he taptaptaptaptaps, and a new set of numbers pop up.
[ he... adds more in binary and does not explain what. my god ]
Well, back in the Ancient Earth days, there was a literal switch, so you'd just flip the switch up and down. Eight quick flips of a switch or not doesn't go too slow. Mostly, it gets translated to something called ASCII... though, even that tech is a bit archaic for me. Keyboards are meant for typing quickly.
But, I'm not really trying to be fast, here. I'm trying to keep you from snooping. [ he sticks his tongue out a little at the end, playful. ] Are you feeling especially curious? Or a normal amount?
[ hmm. after a moment, he waves his hand over his screen. the last two lines of binary highlight, and then suddenly transform back into regular letters. it's very fancy.
Participant is a little more touchy than usual, as well as flirtatious. Participant expresses interest in obtaining information, both through questioning and observation.
lu bixing sighs, but it's good natured. ] Maybe it's a drink that makes people want to learn - but that doesn't seem right. You've always been pretty curious, as far as I've known you. Hmmm.
[oh!! his ears flick as he leans in to see, fascinated as the characters just change.]
Hmm... None of that seems different from normal. Usually I just don't flirt with you because you seem taken. [shrugs!] It's just fun, don't worry about it.
I feel more satisfied, but otherwise nothing different? If it just made me more curious I think I'd be finding a new topic to ask about.

[interesting... he seems content to settle, after he's seen it is in fact not solid.]
And I don't know that I feel especially touchy. I'm not motivated to touch you any more than normal, if that helps.

[lu bixing is cute? he doesn't mind being close at all. it started with 'oh i want to see' and just segued right into 'well, while i'm here anyway'.
he is also not blind when it comes to seeing how he interacts with ljh but listen. will that stop him from flirting a little? no, it's fun.
he stays where he is as he watches those numbers all pop up, though, watching them curiously.]
Eight characters per letter seems like a slow way to take notes. There's no shorthand?

[ughhhh can't have SHIT in detroit. he wants to be nosy!!]
A normal amount, I think? I don't know, I don't really feel strange at all.
no subject
[ that's because you were testing it on lin jingheng you lovesick idiot. anyway.
he taps his fingers against the keyboard, thoughtful. ]
Alright, let's move onto the questions. What do you want to do right now more than anything?
no subject
[he contemplates, head tilted.]
Nothing in particular. Not that I'm not already doing, anyway. I wanted to observe your notes.
