"--and it's not like we can't try and stealthily check in on him."

"Might not even have to be stealthily. We can ask Dream if we can visit. --Ghostbur's back, so he's allowed to go back and forth, at least, although I don't know if we should be... relying, on him, given... I mean, no offense, Ghostbur's great, just."

"I would not get him to do anything that required tact, even if he is a lovely person."

"...Yeah. And his memory issues are--maybe not ideal for these purposes."

"--We'd never find out what happened, would we?"

"Probably not.

He, uh. Seems to think Tommy's on vacation."

"That's-- unfortunate.

Someone else should definitely be the one to go."

"Yeah. --I mean. He can go too, I'm not going to--tell him he can't, y'know, that'd be awful. And we still don't know if Dream's formally allowing other people to visit.

I, um. I probably shouldn't go either."

"--Do you want someone to go in your stead?"

"...I don't know. Maybe? I don't know if he wants to see me. I mean, I exiled him. I wouldn't want to see me."

"I can ask him, if you would like."

"I mean, if-- if you think that would be a good idea. Yeah."

"I'll ask him."

"...Thanks."

"We could ask Dream if he is okay with us visting Tommy, but I fear that would show our hand if we end up ignoring him. We could just-- assume that we were allowed to. And not ask him."

"Sure. And you're just a citizen, too, like, I'm the President, the rules might be different for me, but-- worst case scenario you can just say you saw Ghostbur visiting and assumed you were allowed to visit too, that's not even a lie, right?"

"It would not be, no. --Though I will wait until Dream is not hanging out on the walls."

"For sure."

"Is there anything that needs to be done today?"

"Not... really? Nothing's really--on a time limit. We need, uh, all the stuff we needed before--uh, getting better gear, making a secret underground training arena, that sort of thing--but it's not on, like, a time limit? I mean. Sooner's better than later, but it's not, there isn't anything specific that needs to get done today rather than tomorrow."

"I could stand around watching Dream dissassemble a wall--" Jingyan is getting a very good feel for exactly how long it takes to break obsidian "--or I could dig a big tunnel to put an arena in. One of those achieves much more."

"No, yeah, for sure, there are definitely things that can be done, don't let me talk you out of doing things. Big tunnel sounds good to me, want help?"

"I would not say no to some assistance."

“Cool. Cool cool cool.” Then it can be time for secret tunnel digging! How interesting is Jingyan as a conversation partner while digging secret tunnels, because if the answer is “not very” Tubbo will get bored after an hour or so at it, although he’ll try his best to hide this. (His best isn’t very good.) If Jingyan is a good conversation partner then Tubbo can basically do this for arbitrary amounts of time, though. 

Jingyan... tries. But it's been awhile since he's had bantering conversations, and he is very much used to being the straight man in those conversations anyway.

He is aware enough to try and gently redirect Tubbo to doing something that does not bore him so much. He's the president. He doesn't need to dig arbitrarily large tunnels.
