"I love kids. Kids are the best."

"Of course you do; you love teaching."

And he can't ever have any because he's a pervert incapable of human love.

Why don't they watch Princess Mal some more.

Jing Yi is not completely oblivious to the crisis going on next to him, but is not a mind reader so can't meaningfully respond without making wildly incorrect guesses.

Watching Princess Mal and her Adventures in How Is Your Hair Even Up? is much easier.

Her hair is up using magic, apparently!

"Of all the this you could use magic for-- actually I can't finish that sentence. I would use magic for fashion."

"Surely it depends on how scarce magic is."

"If it was scarce, I solemnly swear to only use it for good reasons."

"But is fashion a good reason."

"The highest priority in life is being as sparkly as possible. Definitely."

"I can agree with that."

He sighs. "As sparkly and brightly coloured and pretty as possible."

Dreamy sigh. "Yeah. And soft and swishy."

"Swishy is very important. You've got to be able to twirl."

"Yeah. You're lucky you get to have robes, back home only girls get to twirl."

"That is grossly unfair."

Softly: "It really is."

"Shame the Milliways door only works one way, otherwise I could just throw clothes at you from the other side."

"I mean I could hold the door while you grab it."

"But I do. Have. Clothes."

"There's no such thing as too many clothes!"

"I mean I have. Sparkly swishy ones."

"A sign of good taste!" Let he who does not have a courtesan outfit only partially for disguise purposes cast the first stone

Oh yay Jing Yi does not think he is a horrible pervert.

"Unfortunately I look like a man in a dress in them."

"That's the nice thing about robes, they're actually designed to fit " he's aware that this isn't really the problem, but. It's nice to say something nice.
