"Oh, I assure you, sir, we don't need THAT. Let's find an Inn; it seems you are questioning my talents."
"I'm kidding. I don't... question you're... Talents," Xia mumbled with a red face. He bit his lips and glanced at the ground. "WE need to concentrate on the trafficking gang,"
"Yes right, I was told that they remain stationed near the west of this market, in some auction hall," Long pushed through the busy crowd.
There was no reply from Xia though. Turning back he saw his lover standing in the crowd with a pale face.
"Excuse me, coming through," Long pushed the people out of the way and hugged him. "I know the crowd is too much but try not to get separated okay," He kissed his button nose.
Xia still had a pale face.
Long started getting worried. "What happened? Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?"
"No..No, I...Someone touched me inappropriately," Xia whispered with his eyes closed.
