Throat clears and she jerks her arm free, uncaring about the waves of pain that resulted in the motion. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Jaw clenched, tugging Quanxi’s wrist from her and considered, for half a second, smacking that away too... but then fingers intertwined, and she let out a heavy sigh. “And what if.... what if I say I only want the bad?”
There it was, out in the open. Hand raised, still holding Quanxi’s and it was there she pressed it against her chest, heart rate there for her to feel speed up.
