Oh.
[ A small pause, and he rubs the back of his head with his free hand. ]
I more meant you didn't feel like most humans.
[ Said nonchalantly, because to him, that's not a big deal. Also stated as like most humans because in his opinion, there are many varieties of what count as human, and Shi Qingxuan also doesn't feel right for a spirit. Nor dead. Thus, he's alive, which is reassuring, but also not standard human.
The Prismals are a whole other strangeness, but also, one that doesn't feel... well, like demons, gods, or spirits he knows back home.
Like he even knows how to talk about all this! It's a familiarity with something different, and it's not one he goes out of his way to use so much as is part of his existence anymore. ]
