The Sentinels Oh won't you come with me,

it does not surprise yunxu that the man from the cliff doesn't want her nearby. a fight was her first reaction when she could fight and he doesn’t doubt it would be her first reaction if she wasn’t injured. yunxu has approached as politely as he could be expected to approach someone not of his family, more than she deserves, and still all he’s gotten from it is this.

yunxu has never been very good at reading people. he doesn’t need to be good at reading people to know she means her threat.

he licks his lip, eyeing her. it seems a safe bet she can’t move, or she would have attacked him instead of all of these threats – but it is a long moment before he’s comfortable enough to dip his head.

“stay away from yuèlóng,” yunxu says, keeping his voice polite and even. then he turns and shoulders his way back into the burnt trees. it will take some time to walk a wider loop around her, but it’s better that way.
