"A-Ley..." he withholds a sigh - barely - and glances at Baiyi, "I am tired of this distance."
Overtired. Exhausted by it.
"A-Yi is blunt; that is part of his nature. I do not mind it since it tells me exactly where I stand with him." he rests his hands in his lap, "Manners come with practice, but they can also hide someone's true intentions. He sought to make sure you weren't going to accidentally drink alcohol. His intentions were good."
Now... Onto the other side.
"A-Ley wants you to believe in him, A-Yi. I know what happened to Rong Xuan and I know you mourn him and you fear something similar happening to us. But this world is safer, in its own way, and we have ways to stay in contact that we never had before." his voice softens, "Please give each other a chance. One bad night, filled with misunderstandings, shouldn't shatter this."
