“Maybe I’ve watched too many movies too, but feel free to hit me if I get mind controlled! Maybe it really does help! Can’t hurt, anyway, at least in the metaphorical sense!”
“I really am a coward.” He… if Casper is going to think less of him, he wants to get it over with. “Mostly I pretend to faint to avoid combat, or cry and hug thighs and beg for mercy. I’m not… dignified or brave or anything. There’s a reason none of my martial siblings respect me.” He’s so aware of how easy it is to die.
“I don’t… even if you can heal, I don’t want you to get hurt for me. You… I’m not worth much, and I don’t want you to be hurt at all. I’m not—I’m a cultivator, I could try to stand up for myself, I just don’t. Sometimes scary people ignore you if you don’t look like a threat? And I… I’m stuck being Shang Qinghua anyway, and he’s a cowardly traitor spy, so it’s not like it would even be in character for me to decide I should try and rival the War God.”
He bites his lip and looks down, waiting for Casper to judge him properly.
