[ Shino is soaking up the affection and attention. The moonlacing is something he's getting more used to, like a cat sprawling out in the sun, because the sheer pleasant warmth of it is addictive to someone who already believes in casual physical affection for his family, the people he cares about.
Extending it to strangers is... part of why he's on board to make them friends. Strangers could be the whole of everyone on this planet. Friends are what he really needs.
He squeezes back, more of an I'm ready than a I'm reassured. He's already placed his faith in Shi Qingxuan, and just like that, he has no particular doubt. It's Shi Qingxuan's confidence that helps lend Shino that faith, and he's grinning without realising as soon as that fan moves and the wind around them lifts them up.
The robes hitting his lower legs put him in mind of Rio Satomi as they rise higher, and higher, and for a moment, up here, he feels like they're like birds, higher over the park. Not as high as Murasame might fly, but this isn't a view Shino generally has, and he's wide eyed soaking it in, grin morphing into a smile of pure pleasure. ]
We're flying.
[ He states, and yes, it's obvious, and no, they're not magically birds, but it's such a thought and a reality that stating as much has him laughing, purely spontaneous. It's not what he'd have expected. He could probably fly with the brothers if he needed to, but it's still a little different, and after days of distress and the stress of this place settling over his shoulders, this?
This is freeing.
He can't pull his eyes away from what they're seeing at first, but when he does, his bright green eyes are sparkling up at Shi Qingxuan. ]
What do I think? This is incredible, Windy!
[ See, there's the nickname for use when something's impressive. Which again, if he knew, if he knew he was talking to a god... eh. He'd still be enchanted with flight. He'd just also be more aware of how fickle such a state might be. Gods and demons, as he knows them, are not steady, unflappable personalities. ]
You're totally showing off, but it's great! How long can we stay up here?
[ Is he still hungry?
Yes.
Is he distracted from that by this whole new experience?
Yes.
Give a guy a break, he's eaten every day of his life that he could manage, he's never flown or hovered like this! ]
