[ Good job, Lan Wangji!! Exude that kindness. 9S looks back to the kids with an encouraging smile. ]
See?
[ The girl doesn't seem convinced, but it's clear from the boy's expression that he's taken by the goodwill on offer. 9S does what he does best and continues to chatter, filling in the silence. ]
That was some timing last time, huh? If you guys had stayed a few seconds longer, you might've gotten caught up in that crazy gunfire. I thought those goons might've been after you, so I was afraid that was the last I'd see of you. They haven't been bothering you, have they?
[ And easy as that, the little boy opens the floodgates. He really likes 9S and thinks he's super cool! Which means he is extremely glad that 9S didn't get murked by the gunshots either. The girl, unfortunately, is taking longer to warm up. She is super suspicious of 9S still, and though she's curious about Mister Right-hand, she also thinks him suspicious, too.
The boy, thankfully, speaks for both of them because he is soft. He says they're kind of hungry, and wonders if they have any warm noodles. But then he goes on to say that the gunshots scared them at the tower, and they ran as fast and far as they could. Some men they didn't know had been trying to get him and his sister to go with them. The men had come from out of town. But they had really fancy clothes! So him and his sister both ran away to hide in the bell tower.
The sister shushes him after, and she won't let him speak about it anymore to them, and she won't talk about it herself. She seems afraid even with such a strong face. ]
