[ why the fuck should i be humble? repeats, in xie lian's head. his tight grip on qi rong's sleeve stays, for a moment longer. ]
Nothing. [ he says, finally. it's laced with a xie lian brand of determination, even if it's quiet. ] It isn't worth it.
[ because it's just not. no matter how fiery he is still, no matter how irritatingly, unendingly frustrating, xie lian is better than this. he's not going to stoop to qi rong's level. the serenity and calm returns, as he releases his sleeve. ] After all, how could I hope to stand up to someone who is almost as strong as the White No Face.
