[ awww weh. that resonates with xie lian - he smiles, and touches a hand to his heart. ]
I agree. We may be limited some by the scope of this place, but I believe there are still things that can be done - and I have no intentions of stopping in trying to find a way through this that limits bloodshed.
[ sometimes a guy has to repay that kind of good feeling. ]
Even if we keep getting more questions, we are getting answers. And we've got some extremely reliable people around here. I'm sure it'll come in time. We just have to keep trying to keep people safe while it happens.
[ same protagonist heroic hat! same protagonist heroic hat!
xie lian nods to this - san lang lifts his head, brave and proud. ] That includes yourself, Mr. Kotetsu! You must rest, with your injuries. [ xie lian, who also has injuries right now, says, like a dumb hypocrite ] All the better to protect others with when you are fully healed, no?
[ he laughs, a little sheepish, and reaches up to gently press his hand near his chest injury from the execution the week before. ] I can't handle the thought of being idle myself, truthfully. Especially not here, where my skills are needed.
...yes. Truth be told, I thought of doing so, for a moment, but... I felt it wasn't fair to the memory of Nine, either.
[ ... ]
And selfishly, perhaps...knowing that those who leave us are still able to reach us does lessen the sting. Yomiel did confirm such a thing at the end of the trial.
[ he smiles a little, at that. the idea of bringing them back... ]
...Admittedly, I had thought that Qi Rong was not so easily killed. So - to hear that any of them may just be waiting somewhere else for a chance to return... it is heartening. I think that hope is a valid one to have - and one I intend to chase down to reality. I won't rest until we can make it so.

[ his smile goes a little sheepish, there. san lang makes a rumbly noise in finley's direction, greeting. hello! ]
After all of that, how are you feeling...?

It'd be a shame to give up hope, despite everything, right?

[ He can't help but laugh a little at the concern. ]
Don't worry, I've been working on trying to fit in some rest, too. I just can't sit completely still while things keep happening, though.

We've all got something we want to provide. It's good seeing people working together. Even if it gets a little crazy sometimes.
no subject
[ whether that's to taking care of each other or being crazy, he doesn't say. ]
...Mr. Kotetsu, can I ask you something? Did... the vote for you, today. Was that you?
no subject
Is that the person I really seem like? You're not the first to ask.
But to put the record straight, it wasn't me.
no subject
After all, though we caught the person who did the action - I certainly don't feel that it was much of a success.
no subject
I hate that we had to do it to the kid, but... voting for myself wouldn't be any kind of justice, either.

Nine didn't deserve it, either. He was a good kid at his heart.
[ there's a bit of a nod at that ]
It almost gives you hope that there can be something done to bring them back.
[ ...for better or worse ]
