[ this tag made my heart so warm i had to put my computer down and walk away from it
oh... it's clear xie lian was not expecting the gratitude - he'd simply accepted rin's company where he's settled, outside by a canal with his feet hanging over the edge with a smile. he blinks at him for a moment, and then, that expression settles into fondness, eyes crinkling a little, before xie lian looks away. ]
You don't have to thank me for doing what you asked of me, Rin - but, of course, I am glad to help.
[ ....and then, with a huff, sounding arguably the most annoyed he's sounded since qi rong was here: ] I can't stand those sorts of people. It's unforgivable, to be cruel for cruelty's sake - and immature, too! What a bully.
[Rin will swing his legs over the side too! He's not matching Xie Lian's smile though, he's still in a rather dour mood.]
I'm still gonna thank you. You could've decided to show him anyway, or not to stick up for me. But you you didn't. And even now you're sticking up for me, when nobody else is looking. So...thanks.
[He's. Not used to people keeping their word with him. Or for them to keep up a nice act when they're out of the public eye.]
I'm- I'm trying to be good, I really am. But it's hard sometimes. Even if I know I'm gonna hate myself for it later, I still do stupid stuff all the time.
