[Xiaolang focuses his attention squarely on the telescope piece in his hands, trying to avoid looking directly at her, because god forbid if she says something nice about him again!! Gosh!! But the heat generating off of his face is enough to nearly puff up clouds of steam in the chilly air, and he merely mumbles something incoherent in lieu of a response. His eyes do dart to Leon for the briefest of seconds, however, a small, irritated look crossing briefly across his face. It's a look that clearly says 'Just what have you been telling other people about me??', although he's too flustered now to say it aloud. Leon was proud of him, he knew, but having him constantly brag about him to other people was a bit embarrassing.

But YES, thank goodness for topic changes!! Please get these two dweebs to get over themselves-- Xiaolang shakes his head quickly at his cousin's question, finally getting his mind to where it was before all of-- this.]

No, I'm fine. It's pretty easy to put together. You picked it out well. [He moves back to the telescope, fitting in the lens piece, before moving on to the next bit. His gaze does join theirs upwards, however, and the glittering backdrop above does garner the smallest, briefest of smiles.] The cold makes it ideal for us to see them clearly, too. There's not nearly as much humidity to muck up the few.

[Of course you'd approach this from a technical standpoint, Xiaolang...]
