[He regains his balance easily once he's set back down - a far cry from how delicately he had to be placed before. Still, he doesn't even bother trying to move far, and curls himself into Jae-ha's side. With an apparent fuckin 6 inches of height difference he probably has to crane his neck, but he'll do exactly that so he can reach Jae-ha's jawline to press a kiss there. It's brief and light, and seems to be more a matter of where Souji can reach with the greatest ease.
Then, mock-thoughtful:]
I suppose you could try to steal it, if it's something you'd like.
[There's a stupid mischievous twinkle in his little punkass eyes though, and in the next moment, he's squirming to slip away from Jae-ha's grasp and reach for one of his hands instead, pulling at his fingers and doing a half-spin step down the path.]
There are songs to sing, aren't there? Under the stars, like you asked for.
Unfortunately - it's the type of game that Jae-ha loves to play. He hums a brief, musical, curious note even as he lets Souji take his hand. He'll allow himself to be brought along the path, his steps following easily after Souji's. He moves to intertwine their fingers next, as if to make sure that Souji doesn't slip away any further that he already has.]
Will you sing me a love song?
[Let's be entirely specific about what kind of song now.]
Ah, I'm not sure how my heart would ever be able to recover... but I still can't let this opportunity pass, you know?
[this is truly even more of a cursed combo than i expected but souji is LIVING UP HIS HEALTH WHILE HE HAS IT!! Since he doesn't know how long it'll last. This is fine.
It doesn't seem like he has any particular destination in mind, though. More like he's just using his legs to use his legs, weaving aimlessly, drifting from flower to flower whenever one catches his attention through the darkness and enjoying the freedom of an unrestricted ribcage. He makes no attempt to shake his hand free from Jae-ha's, seemingly content to hold it.]
I'll sing you anything you'd like.
[i'm not making up an edo era love song gosh ALL SONGS SOUND VAGUELY MELANCHOLY ANYWAY!! and Souji will be focusing on singing in Japanese so it's not like Jae-ha would understand him!! But he does turn his face up toward the sky overhead, swinging their hands a little before seeming to decide on a song. It's a lilting and somewhat sad tune, like this, that Souji sings out with crystal-pitch. Is this a love song or a song about lost loves, lord.]
