Mm, I did. [ it was kind of hard not to notice! his tail. xie lian turns to face yukio a little more, expression serious - though, gentle. ] You're asking for my discretion, is that right?
I could tell he was quite self-conscious about it.
[ there's no judgement to this either - just recognition of the request, and xie lian puts a hand to his heart and bows his head. ] You have my solemn word that I will say nothing - and though I hope we will never have a situation like we had today again [ (lol) ], if we do, I will be happy to help provide whatever extra cover and discretion he might need.
To be quite honest, normally, I am able to sense when people have some form of yin energy among them, that might endow them with those sorts of features, but I sensed nothing of the sort from Rin. It may just be that this place has some sort of dampening effect on me, but... as far as I am concerned, he is simply a normal human. [ yeah!! so there!!!
with a little frown, then, because xie lian is not xie lian if he is not full of Justice: ] To mistreat someone based on such things that are out of their control is unacceptable to me. Should anyone find out and cause trouble because of it, they will have to answer to me as well.
[That's a better reaction than he expected. Yukio relaxes, slightly, and his daemon's form changes back to a small dog.]
My brother and I were fathered by an extremely powerful demon, and my brother inherited a demonic nature from him. I'm sure once your abilities return to normal, you'll be able to sense it.
And as you said, it's not something that is his fault, but it has caused issues for him back home, so I appreciate your support.
I see... Rin had mentioned a father he was quite fond of - I assume that must not be the same one.
[ (laughs in old redacted cr) anyway he looks a little surprised by that information!! but nods. san lang chitters at the new small dog daemon in greeting, too. ]
Of course. It will be no trouble! The two of you are quite close, aren't you...?

[ xie lian, serene as ever, (or at least, normally) shifts to gently place another piece of paper on the fire, letting it crumble to ashes. ]
What about him?

Despite his appearance, he is just a normal human when it comes to behavior and temperament.

And then, back to the first, because that's somehow easier to talk about.]
My brother would never refer to our demonic parent as his father, so he was talking about the man who raised us. They were very close.
