[ Yes, he is absolutely stating it as a demand that he will visit with Jin Ling - or as an order, with an implied threat of broken legs if he fails. This is about the best approval you can get, really. ]
If anybody gives you trouble or tries to keep you away from Jin Ling and you don't want to bother him with it for some reason, you can come to me. Not that I would do it for you, don't think you're special, but I always enjoy an opportunity to put these lesser Jin in their place.
Good. Now keep your promises and maybe you will do right by him.
[an implied threat is still a threat and – weird as it may seem – it makes sizhui sort of feel like he's been accepted by jiang cheng.
especially whenever he's all but given permission to go tattle about anyone keeping him from seeing jin ling.]Yes, I'm sure you do, but I'd hope Jin Ling doesn't have so many people talking badly about him or attempting to keep his friends away. Regardless though, if it does become a problem, I'll keep it in mind.
And I swear (again!) that I'll do right by him.[but what he'll leave unsaid is: “and by you in turn.”]
[ He does catch the implication that comes with it and it leaves him discomfited, flustered, a little bit infuriated just because he doesn't like feeling flustered.
He glowers for a while at the message before penning the shortest reply, which will hopefully be curt enough to cover up his awkwardness at receiving such shows of caring.]
