Mingjue straightened, pulling away so he was no longer quite so close, not when A-Yao was obviously turning colors at his proximity. The ability to not loom was as much of a skill as the ability to loom. As A-Yao spoke, Mingjue's hand went to his own bracelet, safe on his sword arm. "I don't know him, no," he said, "but his background recommends him. I hope he treated you well."

He regarded A-Yao with a little more concern, especially because of that little fortifying breath before he'd answered, that defiant question at the end. That do you judge me? gave him pause. He could still feel the water in his ears whenever he turned his head and the salt-damp that still clung to his skin. His thoughts still rang with 'switched bodies' and 'animal parts' and 'sold', at the evidence in front of him of being pulled from different points in their lives and being Da-ge to A-Yao, and the fact bits and pieces of buildings were here where they shouldn't be at the behest of strange gods.

"A-Yao," he said, blunt. "Do you want me to judge you?"
