Mm. I... ended up getting quite angry, after everything yesterday, and took my frustration out on the training dummies. I felt quite bad - I took out... um, all of them. So, I spent today purchasing new ones and trying to earn new ones, and I managed to find several in town, but... I was one short.
[ he taps the training dummy. ] So...I am trying to fix my mistakes, at least.
Eheh... [ the laugh is sheepish, but. yeah. whew! sometimes you just have a whole thing about justice. A Whole Thing.
the chittering is very cute - san lang comes trotting over to him immediately to greet him properly. hello! - and xie lian himself tilts his head, and then smiles, gentle. ]
...You don't have to thank me, but I am glad to help. Tell me... were you cognizant, more or less, of what occurred...?
xie lian watches flat hide his head, and... after a moment, he comes to settle down beside him, lifts his hand, and then places it on top of flat's head. ]
... If they do, then they will surely have to take it up with me. [ hmph. but, beyond that, he gently ruffles flat's hair. ] There is no reason to treat you any differently, Flat. What matters is 'you' and not the state of you, don't you know? I am happy that you are here, as you are - and I was happy that you returned to us, when you had been dead not moments before.

flat laughs, and jack chitters away for san lang. ]
Thank you, by the way. For these past few days.

he rests his head on his arms on the table. ]
I know there’s no reason to keep pretending, but…
[ it’s hard to keep up the smile, so…he hides his head in his arms. ]
I don’t want people to treat me differently.
