[ Jin Ling is fumbling on his end on what to say so there's a really awkward pause as he reaches his father's voice mail. After a few seconds of nerves, he speaks, voice a bit shaky but nonetheless...he tried. ] ...
...A-die, do you uh... have some time to spar?
...
I-It's fine if you're busy.
...
[ He mumbles an incoherent goodbye and hangs up just as fast as he asked. ]
[ He didn't want to inconvenience his dad too, so it worked out. ]
I'll be fine! You don't have to worry about me.
[ He kind of gets it but he still protested it somewhat. Either way, he's already making his way out the door of their shared apartment with his sword and archery items in hand. ]
[ There's a grin in his silly voice at the protest - it's too cute! ]
I can't help it, A-Ling. And I don't want to.
[ And before his precious son can protest further, he ends the call and heads for their meeting point. He always carries his Suihua with him.
When Jin Ling shows up, he'll find his father standing with one hand at his back, sheathed sword in the other at his side, and studying the forest. His ears are perked, one shifting behind at the approaching footsteps. ]
[ Honestly, he feels like his father is starting to sound like his shushu. Jin Guangyao fusses over his well being quite a lot since he's been here as well and Jin Ling can't help but protest it! If he can do night hunts on his own from time to time, this place is nothing! He's learned a lot and the okami helps him too. ]
A-die not you too!
[ Of course, it goes unheard because his dad already disconnected the call and Jin Ling can only puff his face in frustration at the declaration and tuck his phone away so he can get to the meeting location faster.
Not some time after his father gets there, Jin Ling's half running in his direction as soon as he picks up Jin Zixuan's scent. ]
A-die, why did you hang up? I wasn't done talking!

A-Ling? Of course!
...A-Ling?
...Oh.
[ Belatedly realizing he forgot a step in answering on these strange devices, he pokes the right buttons to call his son back. ]
A-Ling? [ DID HE DO THIS RIGHT? ]
i'm just facepalming n laughing this father son duo!
Huh-- A-A-die?!

Yes!
[ OH RIGHT
Answering his son's question. ]
I can -
I'm not too busy. Where would you like to spar?
haha indeed!!!
[ He seemed very content with the response. ]
M-maybe the forest on the outskirts of town...?

[ At least he thinks this is true, and Kujaku doesn't correct him. ]
Are you alright getting there on your own? [ Because baby boy. ]
