He's gotten very good at reading Xiaoge, well mostly. He still can't figure out some of the signals, but the quiet radiating loathing of his food choice was certainly easy enough to see. He did perk up at the explanation. So that's what it was, a added tool to give the whistle it's strange charm.

"Oh, so it's that? Sure, I can attempt to learn it. So maybe you can teach me that and I'll show you how to check the communicator too and the knocking code?"

[xiaoge]

The knocking code Qiling was sure he could learn easily. All he needed was a demonstration and he would be able to pick it up most likely. Codes were something that was used often in their line of work and knocking didn't require any particular skill that needed mastering.

But the communicator, that was what earned Wu Xie another blank look. Wordlessly he took the mentioned item out and just passed it over to Wu Xie.

"Xiaoge... I'm not really suppose to look at a warden's communicator," he says in protest even as he takes it and opens it up. The posts look almost the same as on his but there was a warden lock that he read.

"Oh, so there's a guy who is not ever suppose to be allowed anywhere near a lab or hospital stuff. Says that the information is in his ledger?"

[xiaoge]

It was hard to tell if Qiling was even paying attention to what Wu Xie said about the information read on the communicator. He certainly didn't mind letting Wu Xie look at anything that was not supposed to be read, it wasn't as if rules ever stopped Wu Xie in anything.

He seemed quite intent on eating at the moment, concentrating on the food with his normally serious expression.

But at some point, he did add, without looking up from his food, "Ledgers are in the warden room. Each inmate has one." Maybe he was aware of things, slightly, but never really read the details there. Except Wu Xie's. He had read that one.

"Does mine include just how smart and brilliant I am and how no one ever bullies me?" he says as he put the communicator down. He starts in on the normal food, traying to snag some of the meat before Xiaoge eats it all.

Whether Wu Xie was joking or not, Qiling was very serious when he answered, "No." He wasn't going to tell him what he saw though because he didn't think it was true. Luck was predetermined by fate, and fate wasn't something that could be weaponized.

When Wu Xie started to pick at the food as well, Qiling glanced at him and moved on to the vegetables to leave some for the young man. "Tell me about the knocking." They could spend the day figuring out and learning the basics of the two codes so it could be used in cases of emergency later.

After, he will make a whistle for Wu Xie and himself as well, so they could be used when Wu Xie learns the techniques.

"It's based off of morse code, but I've worked out a version that we can use," he said, stuffing his face. He went on the explain how it worked and gave examples over how the knocks sounded, the pauses, the way the different surfaces would affect them.

[xiaoge]

"I know Morse code," Qiling answered, which probably wasn't all that surprising that he both knew that or enough English to use it. Yet he understood that an alternative would need to be used, and very quickly picked up what Wu Xie was showing him.

They spent hours at it, both of them going over the basics of the two codes. It wasn't something that could be completely learned in one day, but by the end of the day, they both had a good preliminary introduction to the ghost whistling and knocking code, enough for very basic communications at least. They can work on it some more in the following days and refresh anything they learned, they had time.
