[ Jing Yuan can catch that interest a mile awhile alongside that smile and that helps in keeping his excitement.
That in of itself was a given even without it, though there is more exuberance because of it. In his own way that isn't exactly a traditional jumping for joy, but for him that is what it is. ]
A lion. I've named it Wave-Treading Snow Lion.
There is nothing better than a loyal companion like a dear feline who will stay by your side. Don't you agree?
[ Whatever Jing Yuan is on, he is not sharing. Though, Ginger's reasonable response does not deter his excitement in the slightest, because he has the most wonderful lion ever, which he dotes upon like his own child. ]
That's a pity. I could always show you an image of it once I get better at magic.
Or I can just simply show you on my phone, though I imagine you've at least seen countless images of lions before. So, the question might be is whether you've witnessed images of white lions.
I think… if it’s yours, then there’s a some special cuteness to it. Even if it’s something only you see, but uh, if you want to show me, I’ll try my best to see it, too.
Of course. Though, you don't truly have to force yourself to give a certain kind of response either.
[ He won't be mad if Ginger is like 'oh it's not that cute'. Just don't call his lion ugly.
Anyway he will whip out his phone and show it. It is big, fluffy, white, majestic and blue-eyed. Probably not typical adorable, but it is dozing somewhere outside-ish in the shade. ]
[ Something like a chuckle escapes him at that at the jest. Jing Yuan never thought to make the comparison himself, but...there really is a similarity, isn't there? ]
Hmm...there was an incident where people did confuse an aspect of myself with my lion. Though, hardly flattering.
[ "The Glutton General" is not a title anyone would want to be called. ]
...Oh? That's interesting. Is it the color of Snow Lion's eyes that makes you think so?

[ Shopping in person is kind of a new concept to him. ]
Do you think - maybe souvenirs? I don't know what I'd buy for myself anyway.

But, then he goes towards somewhere there so happens to be animal carvings and the like admist certain collections of shops. ]
...Souvenirs could work.
Do you happen to have an animal you'd like, Ginger?
[ He has to wonder about that, just a bit. ]
no subject
Cats...? I think. They're... really cute.
no subject
Oh? Aren't they? They are the most adorable, no?
[ He means it, as they're looking at these cute figurines. He will show the other one that is definitely kitty-shaped, bright smile on his face. ]
I have one back home, you know.

[ Ginger sounds genuinely interested, peering at the kitty figurine with a bright smile.
So Jing Yuan likes cats to this extent? It’s kind of unexpected, but in a nice way. ]

[ His voice only cracks a little. What is this man on?? And what in the heck kind of name??? ]
I - I guess that counts as a cat? But I don’t think I’ve ever seen one in person.
[ Because - very reasonably - he fears for his life. ]

Is this just a photo of you?
[ Fluffy, majestic.
He’s joking at first. But he does take a closer look. He doesn’t see the cuteness yet; it’s just too big for him. Still… ]
… Kind eyes.
