Jae-ha seems to think about that - he's only seen a few shrines, and a few villages, but he's going to try his best. There's a wave of his hand and he conjures up the image above his head, closer to Sousei, of a lake with trees and a small town nearby along with a shrine. The sun seems to be shining down on it, and everything there is bright and warm and sunny.
It's magic, which Sousei might hate, but also Jae-ha had to try.
There's a little hum.]
Did I get it?
I thought I should practice more with the little gift they gave me.
[... Oh. Sousei's quiet for a long moment, watching that happen, eyes widening a little despite himself. Naturally it's not perfectly similar, but it's very close, and...
It's endearing. The effort is endearing, and Sousei pauses for a moment, eyes fixed on the image Jae-ha's attempting to make... before he just clears his throat, and points at a few places in the shrine.
He'll describe them for Jae-ha more properly--so that instead of a generic shrine, it represents the Kumou shrine, because playing along with this and allowing Jae-ha to properly see the place Sousei's fondest of seems like the best way to acknowledge...
That he really does appreciate this more than he knows how to say.]
[ . . . hah. Jae-ha listens to the descriptions and focuses past the haze of tipsiness in order to refine the details based on what Sousei tells him. He adjusts the magic in order to create the illusion, and can't help but find it very fitting that of all things to find beautiful, Sousei would pick a town at peace.
Someplace that he loves - tranquil and warm.
As he finishes up the last details in the picture, he lets his gaze flick to watch Sousei's face rather than the illusion.]
[Sousei inspects it quietly, and finds that...it's nostalgic. It's so, so nostalgic, which means that Jae-ha is right. For as fond of it as he is, Sousei hasn't actually spent that much time there.
[ . . . hah. Jae-ha just laughs quietly then. It's probably the faint tipsiness coupled with a whim that drives him to reach for one of Sousei's hands just so that he can press his lips to the back of it.
And then he'll yawn, letting go and letting himself relax with his head in Sousei's lap.]
Good.... just nudge me when it's my turn to keep watch, yeah? I'll sleep off the rest of the alcohol.
[And the illusion will linger for a bit longer - up until Jae-ha stops expending energy into it - but overall he thinks he can chalk this up to being a good night.]

[But.
It was still home for a very, very long time.]

But nonetheless, every detail...
He knows each detail, and this is...]
... It's acceptable.
[This is perfect.]
