Oh no is right! Much to Sizhui's dismay, he can't understand a single word Merlin's said, either.
He opens his mouth, hesitates, closes it again when he figures there's no reason to say anything else, the other male won't be able to understand him. His brow furrows, lips pinched and nose wrinkled thoughtfully. There are quick fixes for this, he's sure, but taking into account he very likely shouldn't have brought Merlin into Cloud Recesses without proper permission, those will have to wait until the cat is out of the bag.
Unfortunately, whenever Merlin continues trying, he can't help shaking his head. While he doesn't understand, it doesn't mean he can't keep helping. “Mmn,” and Sizhui gestures toward the food, figuring they ought to start there first, then perhaps he can figure out how to explain he's in ancient China without actually using words.
