( It always feels different to be with Sizhui. Jason doesn't know if it's because he isn't part of this trainwreck they call a family or something else entirely. Whatever it is, it draws him in every time he sets eyes on the other man. Every soft word or bit of laughter is a reminder of everything their family isn't. Everything Jason wishes he had more of in his life. It's a brightness Jason wants to hold onto for Sizhui's sake and for his own selfish reasons.
He watches the other man as he takes his time sprawling in the chair he's in. He sinks deeper into the plush cushion, lets his legs spread further apart. Taking up as much space in the chair as he can and absolutely enjoying every second of it. Bruce's stuff is way more comfortable than what he has in his various hideaways after all. But even as he works on settling, his attention never leaves Sizhui. )
He's a good dog. ( And he is. Jason's grateful Sizhui at least has Alfred and Ace considering how often the rest of the family disappears or hides away somewhere.
The mention of his company makes one corner of his lips curve upward in a small, smug smirk. ) At least I'm someone's favorite. ( He tips his head back, lets it rest on the cushions as he continues taking the other in. )
Is that what you've been doing all day? ( Not really a question considering Jason knows the answer. It's not just Bruce that keeps tabs on people after all. )

closes my eyes, i do not perceive (even though i'm sure they're fine!)
[perhaps some of this and a little bit of that, but it seems most likely it's because lan sizhui is such a bright sunspot, he's impossible to not want to be around. where it's this way for jason, the same goes for sizhui in his case; everyone living inside or visiting every so often is great, but jason's the one who makes him laugh, joke and talk so casually. if he closes his eyes, it's almost like being home and bantering with his best friend, these things just come naturally with jason. he doesn't mind brightening jason's day at all, especially when he gets the same in return. (and the others may not understand why, so he's one-hundred-percent fine keeping it between them.)
he's very keen-eyed himself as jason's watching, his own gaze never wavering from the other man's slouching, even when he reaches for the bookmark near his knee and slides it between the pages. afterward, he closes the book between both hands, twists it about, eventually balancing the front cover on his fingertips.]
I think so too, although I'm winning him over with extra treats, slowly but surely. [mostly with whatever extra meat comes from the food alfred makes, being he's still trying his best to stick with his vegetarian diet. just like back home, however, he does his best to not be picky about what he's given.
sizhui grins following jason's smirk, the tips of his ears blushing faintly, even if that doesn't deter him.] Of course you are. [sometimes, it feels like you're the only one who wants to see me, he thinks, expression faltering somewhat, but he's quick to correct whenever jason's head tilts further in his direction.] What, talking to the dog or reading? [he rotates the novel again, taking it between his fingers and setting it aside, then he adjusts his position to be sitting cross-legged on the couch, both hands turned palms up on his thighs.] Actually, regardless, the answer is ‘yes’.
