Jim pulls back at the same time Wen Ning does, eyes bright and smile instantly wide. His thumb brushes over Wen Ning's cheek, then he lets his hand drop to catch the other's hand again.
"That was very nice," he states at last, sure Wen Ning will agree.
Possibly, yes, but then he wouldn't have looked as cute as he does. Jim chuckles, smile wide and amused, then he winks at Wen Ning and tugs on his hand.
"Come on, then. Let's get back to the city," he urges. They've reached the edge of the desert by now, so the rest of the walk back should be fairly quicker and with far less incidents.
Wen Ning nods more emphatically, though the Chroma has lent more color to his face, enough to hint at what might be a blush. "Yes. We should be... close. Now."
Cute. Jim's smile is sharp and playful, but he bites back any teasing with a quiet chuckle, squeezing Wen Ning's hand and quickly resuming their walk. From here on out things should at least be a little safer, so he allows himself to relax somewhat, a little less on edge when there's no danger of giant sand worms popping up to swallow them whole.
