her eyes widen slightly, and for a moment, they don't look their usual green - they're a mix of mauve and cornflower, until she blinks, and they're back to normal. her cheeks flush a faint pink as she takes this in.
I have feelings for you.
there's really no misinterpreting that. it's direct, and that's one of the things jiuqing appreciates most about hot pants - her directness. she really doesn't beat around the bush when there's something she wants to say.
she reaches for one of hot pants's hands.]
...thank you, for telling me.
[it's hard enough to identify feelings like that in the first place, let alone accept them, let alone be willing to speak of them.
for jiuqing, it's hard to imagine doing that. any feelings she may or may not have for anyone who's here or not here - they're not something she's able to put into words, exactly. the thought of admitting it, and then losing them (or admitting it, and hearing they don't feel the same way; or admitting it, and finding out they do share the same feelings, but not being able to stay together at the end of it all) is terrifying.
she's brave, but she's not that brave.
so that hot pants can say this at all, that she's found the courage to, is something she really admires.]
Your feelings aren't a burden. If I've done or said anything to make you feel like they are, I want to apologize for that.
[she gives her hand a squeeze and smiles.]
You're very, very important to me, Miss Hot Pants. And you make me happy, too. I want you to know that. I don't want there to be any doubt that I care for you very much.
[...]
I'm just not sure if... the way I care for you is the way you care for me.
[...and maybe the fact that she's not sure is answer enough.
(if hot pants turns up dead tomorrow and our last pc was jiuqing rejecting her i WILL manifest to your location and kill you, crystal.)]
