[ his expression melts into something more neutral. he feels his jealousy spike and he just keeps his mouth shut to keep from blurting out something obnoxious about how stupid that sounds. ] ...okay.
It's fine. [ it's not. ] I mean, it's something you've already done, so... [ shrugs his best nonchalant shrug. ] Who am I to interfere?
...yeah. [ hums, sitting up and swinging his legs over the bed. ] I mean, like you said earlier, it wouldn't be fair if we didn't follow the same rules.
…something like that. Soreness won’t last long, thankfully, but… before I completely lose it again maybe I should go. A walk could probably do me some good besides.
…good to know. [ that makes him feel slightly better, at least about that specific thing, since it had been a concern. but there are now other things bothering him, so wompwomp. ]
I do. I need some time to cool off… [ going to look around for his clothes, so he can get dressed. ] I’ll keep that in mind, Xiansheng. [ except, no, he won’t. ] Catch you later. [ throws a wave in his direction as he heads for the door. ]

Thank you for your understanding.
[ He really didn't want to try to re-work that contract. ]
Then by that same token, I also do not wish to stifle anything you may wish to pursue.
And if those feelings change for either of us, then we should speak up, yes?

I always welcome your company regardless of how you are feeling. Please don't think any of your corruptions bother me or are a burden.
But if you would like to take some time alone, I completely understand.
I will be here if you wish to return later. The door is always open.
