[ Is what Jin Ling has already sent back before he hears the music coming in through the window. The sound of the instrument is sweetly familiar and he stays where he was sitting -- on the floor, working on some talismans at a low table -- for a long moment before he accepts that 1, he doesn't know this song, and 2, Lestat is outside playing music for him.
He scrambles up to his feet to lean out the window. His hair is bound in a single long braid that slides forward over his shoulder.
Lestat is ethereal in the moonlight, gold hair and jade pale skin painted over in clear, cold sliver. An image meant for a painting or a romantic poem. The sight hits Jin Ling like a punch in the gut. The feeling swells up in his throat and tightens the corners of his eyes.
He swallows and leans against the window frame, listening as the song winds through the night air, taking in every detail. If he'd heard about someone else doing this, he'd have thought it ridiculous, but it doesn't feel that way now. It feels new and precious.]
