I can't...change what I did...Daozhang...I can't return any of the lives I took... [ His voice vibrates with regret and pain. Quietly, but there's painful honesty in his tone.
'I don't seek your death, Xue Yang.' His breath huffs out in a gasp and he wipes quickly at his face, shaking himself but forces himself not to leap up, to grab for Xingchen. ]
I have! You can ask anyone here! When I feel the need to kill, I tell Daozhang and we either hunt beasts together, or if he's not around, I find a lesser one to go after myself. Or I try meditation, but it's always more successful when he's with me.
[ There's actual pride as he speaks of his accomplishments. Of sitting on his violent tendencies or getting help when he needs it. ]
When I came here, I had Jiangzai, my dagger, and my Stygian Tiger Seal - I gave all three to you - you before, we came at the same time - when you found out who I am.
You gave me the first two back after making sure I was being honest in wanting to stay by your side without hurting anyone. [ That and the fact he kept getting hurt because of dangerous job and being unarmed during it was just plain stupid. ]
I haven't looked for where the Seal was put, it hasn't shown up.
[ This is actually the first time in months since he's even thought about the seal. ]
Daozhang...you showed me how to be kind...no one else had bothered before. Then Daozhang Song showed me more. I don't need Demonic Cultivation. I have so many reasons not to Cultivate like that any more.
