Fingers slip around to rub under the antlered creature's chin, causing those blue eyes to close in contentment with another little purr.
Runyu's attention is tugged back to Jin Mi when she takes his hand again, and he finds himself melting a little. His smile is small, but genuine as he squeezes her fingers a little. "I think you are honest, not stupid. Just be yourself with me, I don't want to be Your Highness when it's just us."
Surely he's allowed one thing for himself? For once?
He tries to tease a little next, it's not as easy with someone not his brother. "You can make it up to me by telling me your name."
Anyone who is kind to animals wins a few points in her book! The Old Carrot is afraid of rabbits and she supposes she should fear birds, being a grape, but it's hard when you see nests full of fluffy chicks. The Dream Beast is like that too; he is simply too cute to cause fear.
The warmth around her fingers helps her breathe easier. Losing a friend for being rash or crude would... Well, it would make her sad.
"Ahhh I understand." she holds a finger to her lips, "That must get tiring, huh? As far as I can see, there aren't many immortals. I bet you get lonely."
That is a state she knows well. Even with fairy friends around her, she feels...different. And the Chief is much harder on her than the rest!
"Me?" she blinks, "I'm Jin Mi. Xufeng, the Crow...I mean Phoenix...brought me here."
