Jing Yi makes reasonable stabs at question answering, seeing as he only started learning modern science an hour or so ago.

"I'm not used to being on this end of the questioning."

"Oh?"

"I mean, I work for the Three Judicial Offices? Asking people questions is most of my job."

"I'm not sure I really understand what that is. A kind of cop...?"

"We investigate crimes. Usually more serious ones, like suspicious deaths, but we do investigate others too."

"I feel very 'oh, shit, you're a cop' even though I don't commit crimes and definitely don't commit crimes in Great Tang."

"Oh, I don't know, maybe you have a secret taste for murder."

"No, that's not what my dark secret is."

"Well, unless you dark secret is a crime, you don't have anything to worry about! ... Even if it was, its not like I have jurisdiction." though now he is terminally curious.

"I guess it could be a crime in Great Tang, I have no idea how progressive you guys are."

"I'd say we're reasonable, but of course I'd say that."

"I want to be a woman."

"I can say with confidence that that is not a crime!"

"In most cultures where it's illegal a man dressing as a woman is the thing that's. Illegal."

"Also not illegal! Socially frowned upon at times, but not illegal. And wouldn't be my department even if it was." He knows this for job reasons and not personal ones, yes definitely

"Very progressive of Great Tang. --And gay sex?"

"Also legal! Social acceptance--" wiggle hands "--depends who you ask."

"Well, my home culture isn't exactly thrilled by either of those either."

"Ah, the more things change, the more they stay the same."

"Well, if I find someone who can turn me into a girl..."

"You'll be the first to know! Or, well, second, I guess."

Yeah okay more education.

His foot is touching Jing Yi's foot and he's not taking it away.

Two can play at that game. Jing Yi is not going to move away from that foot.

LITERALLY WHAT GAME ARE THEY PLAYING AT HERE

THE GAME OF FOOT TOUCHING, APPARENTLY

(Jing Yi is in it to win)
