Ah. Isn't that an interesting question? [but there's a lack of energy to the cheerful sort of tone and they grow quiet again.]
I have my own set of responsibilities to handle, newest of all more than forty lives to take care of and guide back to their homes. To continue forward...I rely on hope still, despite how hopeless things seem now.
[Haha, reminds him of himself back when he had two living siblings.]
Mm, well. If that's the way it has to be, then that's the way it has to be, yes? [He gently bops Cinnabun on the back with this rose.] A good thing that you've ended up with a tenacious bunch here, too.
So I've noticed. Tenacious. Stubborn. Reckless. All the same, really! It's almost amusing. [you know. if murder weren't a thing.] Have you been getting along with others you've met here?
[cinnabun hops a little thanks to the rose bop, but they don't seem to mind otherwise.]
Those traits do go hand-in-hand, yes. [A NOD. He would know. He reaches out with his free hand to scritch Cinnabun's ears a bit.]
I have, yes! They're all quite enjoyable to be around and talk to, haha. If it weren't for everything else, I'd be glad for the chance to make more friends.
[He loves Cinnabun in specific, and spoils her with more pets.]
Mm, it's never been all bad, even if most of it is. [Even in the demon bang boat he made good friends, which he unfortunately cherishes in spite of all the horrific shit they all went through together.] The people are always the best part!
[Reasons why he's gonna be after Black Shadows' potentially nonexistent blood in one day.]
I think you and I can agree on that. [they seem pleased that wei wuxian is treating their bun politely.] I've always been fascinated by people, so...despite the circumstances it's been interesting meeting all of you.
Haha, we're a mess, aren't we? I do enjoy people too, though.
[Even if he tends to observe them at a safer distance now. He gives this bun a gentle little boop on the nose, rubs the bridge of it, and then pats her back once.]
Anyway! I said I wouldn't take up much of your time, but I've been chattering away for quite a while now, haven't I? I don't keep track of the minutes very well, I hope you can forgive me.
[HE LOVES THIS BUN!!! There's open fondness in his expression because he finds bunnies very cute, even if he threatens to eat them constantly.]
Well! If you put it so politely, how could I possibly say no? If it's no bother, I'll come back to say hello again sometime, mm. And I'll be sure to spoil your darling rabbit as much as I can, too!
[He would never eat a bun no matter how much he talks about how fat and tasty they look.]
Strawberries! I'll keep that in mind. [He smiles, pats the rabbit one last time, and then stands. He holds the rose carefully, gently twirling it between two fingers.] Thank you kindly, friend. Some other time, then! Do take care.
[AND AWAY HE GOES... Someday he will return, when he's done being assblasted about his government assigned murder role.]

In terms of living, or just of continuing forward - either way.

Hope does die last.
[Kind of, anyway. The last time he'd been in a truly hopeless situation, he'd died just a few months later.]
It's good that it still exists here.

I suppose it isn't all bad then. That's good to know.

It isn't any trouble at all. I...have enjoyed your company, actually. Despite not being your director I hope you'll consider visiting again soon, hm?

She likes strawberries. [the tone is quiet.] But it would never be a bother. My time is yours whenever you'd like.
