[ damn, he's really going at it, huh. she pauses to watch for a second -- just because this is so much more graceful and precise than pretty much anything kyle ever does with a sword -- with radheya in dhole form standing beside her.
--ah, whoops. she wasn't intending to interrupt, but she guesses she already did. she gives a little wave. ]
disgusted sigh is such a mood. xie lian shakes his head, putting his hand on top of his sword - his daemon makes an annoyed noise. ]
That is true. It is truly vile, isn't it? To manipulate people so cruelly into taking a life - by preying on their desires to protect their home, their friends.
Yeah, it is. This time it didn't seem like he actually wanted to hurt anyone at all.
[ compared to last time, which, uh. she certainly doesn't need to tell you. ]
I don't get what even happened. Like, did the Watchers' higher-ups approach him with an offer or did he get in touch with them somehow to ask for himself?
[ haha!! he just smiles a little at that, tired. it's true - that is part of what makes this so cruel. ]
... I spoke with him some, and it seems as though he was approached by the higher ups and given a choice, though "choice" assumes he was ever given a chance to say no.
[ oh, wow. even if she suggested it, it's pretty surprising to hear that one of them had a direct interaction with the ones behind this... and she doesn't love the idea that they're the ones making the first moves. ]
They really did that? Did he say if he actually saw who they were, or...?

Hey. Working out some frustration?

xie lian gives a little bow in greeting, politely, as he lifts the sword to put it back in its sheath once more. ]
...practice, and that, too. I think it is hard not to be frustrated, after everything we've seen this weekend, don't you think?
no subject
her answer to that is a disgusted sigh, so, yes. ]
Absolutely. If there were any lingering doubts about the intentions of whoever's behind all this, I'm pretty sure this weekend just pulverized 'em.
