[ oh heavenly emperor. he looks very, very embarrassed, now, reaching up to scrub his face with the finger snap comes. ]
I - I don't disagree with you, Mr. Sholmes... [ he is not sure whether to laugh or to cry, though ] But... I do not think I know anyone even remotely like Baraqiel in the way that they act! I've never met anyone like them before, in many shades of the word...
Qi Rong was quite afraid of them, though, so... it does make sense, if it was someone both of us could have known.... [ but also
Ah, but even if you do not know them, do they not know you? I hardly think a stranger who holds themselves as proud and daunting as they do would throw themselves so upsettingly at a barrier that holds you and prevents you from being saved!
[sholmes looking over at baraqiel like dude calm down]
So press them further. They and the others have told me that they are prevented from sharing too much about themselves, but I would not be saying this if I did not deduce that something was there. It is worth a try.
Well, someone did say we got rather close quickly, which is true...
[ xie lian scratches his cheek, fidgeting a little. he is trying to give it thought, but... who knows. ]
...I will try, at least some. I don't want to harm them, either. The problem is not that I feel as though I can't ask... it is rather, that I think Baraqiel would tell me immediately, and then be punished along the lines of turning briefly to dust - or worse - if they did. They don't have as much concern for their safety as I would like.
I wonder if there's any way we can free our masked friends from the shackles of their roles. Even Baraqiel stated that their true name was locked away.
