Even before he could hardly speak, he had studied her body signals for a long time, her facial expressions, every frown... the changes in her eyes that came with each thought.

"Let her go, Xenon." King Jian called to Xenon when he made to go after her.
Xenon paused in his step, passing a questioning look over to King Jian.
"I know you are not the patient one, but this time... you will have to be."
