In turn, Xingchen perks up at the interruption, wondering if Asgeirr has had a delayed reaction to his previous questions. Instead, it turns out he's just lonely. Xingchen's chest aches to hear it. So he replies without hesitation. "I would be happy to speak with you again, when we are both able."

As for Asgeirr's other request, Xingchen takes a moment. It's so out of the blue that it takes him aback, even though it's simple enough in theory. "Winter has set in deeply here, so I do not think there are any butterflies at the moment. Is there any kind in particular you wish to see? I can try to find one later." And by him finding one, Xingchen clearly means he'll have to ask others for assistance. Although he can manage well enough on his own, the fact remains that he's still entirely blind. If Asgeirr wants a white butterfly as opposed to a purple one, Xingchen will be of absolutely no help.
