[ a little huff of approval at the quote, and... well, he does seem a little happy at that, too, finally leaning back against his couch and sinking into the floor somewhere near where lin jingheng is. ]
Is it jinxing it to say I'm excited for it? [ like, if everything wasn't terrible forever right now, he'd be extremely happy. it's funny; the last time his house was this full, it was with a lot of extremely nerdy engineers who were celebrating the day they finally got zhanlu online, almost a decade ago. ] It's been a while.
[ he smiles, a little wistfully, taking a cup of milk tea for himself and holding it in his hands. ] I have so many projects I want to put you on.
[ which, in some ways, is confirming the same - the i'm not giving up on busting out of hell. they've got a party to go to! so. ] I can't wait to see what you can do in a real lab, with real tech. Maybe we can sneak Zhanlu away to look at his mech core when Lin's not paying attention.
[ his voice is quiet, when he confesses this. lu bixing knows why, and he knows he doesn't have to clarify, but he does kick a leg a little to bounce his heel against the back of the couch as he huffs softly. ]
Not enough to disrupt my neck of the woods. Can't break things. But just enough. [ the fidgeting stills again. ] But - I think I'd lose my mind if I got to look at a real, genuine mech core. We can probably distract him if you make moon eyes at him.
Well, I'll have two of them, so, maybe they'll be more effective.
[ he laughs a little, goofy as he taps underneath his patched lack of eye, but it's got a little deeper meaning to it, right? he doesn't really need to clarify, and the joke fades as he gives kon a warmer, softer smile. ]

[ as lu bixing sits, he moves to lean against the back of the couch instead, shifting his weight forward enough that he can half-perch on it. ]
But I'm not giving up on busting out of Hell, still. So I want something to look forward to.
