I Love You, Abrial.
Seeing that this topic evidently wasn't a great one to bring up right now, Wu Dafu quickly changed the subject. Over the last bits of spicy dumpling soup, he warmly started talking about his and Ya Syaoran's experience working together on the rescue mission.
"...First, we…well, we entered places of entertainment to gather information. In the end, we ended up actually infiltrating the Emperor's guard! The security around the guards stationed at Diyuu Prison was too high, so we slipped in at the nearest base so that if replacements were needed, we could get sent. We found out a lot of information about where the Emperor had sent you and your current situation by going undercover. It was scary…and I'm really glad you're back safe, Abrial! Looking back…it was horrible, we were so scared you wouldn't come out alive…and at the same time, in some small ways, it was fun, wasn't it, Ah Ran?" Wu Dafu nudged Ya Syaoran with a smile.
