[ Niah looks up at him with his bright amber eyes... In them is a calm fire that can never be snuffed. There is a silence as they both allow Xie Lian to find his answer. It's something he can relate to—doing as much as you can, anything possible, even if in the end you fail. For worse or better, no one truly knows the outcomes.
It is not all for naught. ]
That's right. There's nothing to regret.
[ He only repeats Xie Lian's answer, like it's a reminder. ]
[ it is moments like these that it is obvious that xie lian was a prince - and maybe even more so, that there was something godly about him. he was chosen for ascension for a reason, and the strength of his character, hardened into steel, is one of them.
even his daemon - a tiny little creature, a ferret - straightens a bit where he stands.
there's nothing to regret. it's a reminder. ]
... I intend to find the creature who cursed Xian Le and caused the suffering, and I intend to remove him from the three realms with my own hand. No matter how long it takes.
[ a pause. ]
And you intend to find your ending - the right one. I pray that you do, Mr. Joonghyuk.
[ It's good to see Xie Lian has composed himself again to be who he always has been, or should always be. Joonghyuk has no words for the vow, only silent understanding that ambitions and drive is what helps everyone take another step forward.
Niah circles back to Joonghyuk, done with checking. The mention of his ending doesn't spur the same exuberance in him. Instead, he looks away. Almost filled with contempt. ]
... I will. Even if that means I have to force him to come back home.
[ He's confident in getting what he wants, no matter how long or how many times it takes. ]
