How cute. The young lord is blushing. Merlin tilts his head, taking in
Sizhui's robes before looking over his own clothes. It would help if he
blended in.
"Oh of course, my lord."
Merlin carefully hands the handkerchief over to the young man in white. As
soon as he does, he brushes the shoulders of his own clothes, transforming
them to
match the era a bit in dark blues and reds.
"Is the token familiar to you?"
It's then when he notices that a similar pendant hangs from the young man's
belt.
He isn't cute, he's— well, okay, he is, although that's not the point here at this moment in time. There are more important matters to attend to.
“Please, just ‘Sizhui’ is more than fine.” Thank goodness, he hasn't attained such a high title yet.
Taking the item in both hands, Sizhui gingerly handles the pieces back together, lining them up just right until they form an ornament akin to his own. Thoroughly surprised with this revelation, he upturns his attention again, blinking owlishly at the sudden change in this stranger's clothes, though he does manage answering, “Yes.” So, how did he come to have it in his possession?
He offers it back out despite his wariness then continues, “Jade tokens are given to people we trust enough to allow entrance into Cloud Recesses.” Meaning, if this Merlin fellow has one, despite it being broken, he – or someone he knows? – was once given access. (Or this is an extremely elaborate ruse and Sizhui's falling right into a trap.)
