"Yes, you have my permission to take it." Her voice was as regal as usual, and he internally screamed and punched himself.
He knows how to deal with angry people, people who want him dead, but he never knew how to deal with people who want him to kill them. She's the first and the last one.
Xiao was set on harming herself until he put a stop to that and manipulated her into freeing him with the promise of her soul becoming one with his. That was a terrible idea now that he looked back at it. He has to admit, he was very selfish back then, and even now, he could feel himself itching to hold her in his arms.
Welp, time to scare her away.
He reached out for her...
Wait, no. He shouldn't touch her, so he moved his hand to banging the floor she's standing on instead.
Last time, she jumped. This time, she slipped. His eyes widened and he immediately caught her before she could hit the floor.
Shit... Didn't he just declare that he shouldn't touch her a second ago?
