"Later," he breathed. Because, yes. A-Yao was right about the need to, well, digest. Both information and their breakfast.
Mingjue wasn't so much overwhelmed as he wanted to get out and do something rather than stay inside and indulge all day. He needed to prowl his new territory. He said as much with: "Later. I need to get out. Time and opportunity yes, but I can't just laze around."
But he paused after he said it, gruffly thoughtful, because A-Yao had said something meaningful, something he didn't quite know how to respond to. That A-Yao was his in any capacity was like a flick against a bell in the center of his being and it rang sharp and hot through him. He did the next best thing to words, for him, he reached out to grasp at the ribbon tied around A-Yao's wrist. Then he did his best with, "I'll try to be worthy of both of you."
