( the large, feline eyes follow him, but he doesn't coil or tense. to him, sasuke is very tall, but it's not like it's something he's not accustomed to — sure, he may have gotten used to humans who are much closer to his own height from spending so much time with xiaobai and ah gen, but he had spent months and months with wuxian prior to that. he isn't really sure why, but there's something about this stranger and the way he replies to him that makes him miss his master far more than he has in the past few weeks.
xiaohei's ears flick back to pin against his skull; he lowers his head, eyes narrowing in disappointment. he hasn't yet attempted to use his powers, but... he thinks he understands what he means. his senses feel strange, dull, as if he were waking up from a long dream. he senses that he could transform into his human form if he wanted, but it would be very challenging, like it had been way back when he'd been learning to use it. )
...I think I'm the same.
( said sadly, but also somewhat impetuously. xiaohei is a prideful little creature.
his eyes follow into the storefront where his phone had disappeared into. he weighs the offer, knowing that he could simply go off on his own — for the longest time he had thought he was better off on his own. but...
he looks back up at sasuke. he doesn't think that he trusts him, but he also doesn't think that he... doesn't trust him? )I'll go with you.( he nods his head. he had given him his full name, so he will do the same. )My name is Luo Xiaohei. I'll be right back.
( he's quick. he darts into the store and reemerges only a moment or two afterward, the cell phone he had found on the train seat next to him curled in his preternaturally long and prehensile tail. it's a little cumbersome to carry, but that's fine. he's able to trot alongside sasuke as he walks, easily keeping pace with him. )
