Bao Bei stood in front of the mirror, tilting his head left and right as he looked over his finished outfit. Behind him, Jihl smiled gently at him through the reflection.

Jihl gently patted his head and nodded at the escort's signal letting them know it was time.
"Let's eat some sweets, then come home quickly."
Jihl bent his arm and Bao Bei happily reached out and held onto it. He had just recently learned how to do a proper escort posture.
