In skill, in strength and in power, he was way above her. Really, he could have just accepted her apology and taken the win for himself. . ..so why hadn't he? Were her feelings of such importance to him- that he would apologize?!
The questions ran so deep and so wild, she actually began to feel her brain tumble from the inside out. She parted her legs a bit to keep herself from swaying over the side.
"Ni Yang?" she called out softly, maybe too softly.
"Yes?"
"Thank you," it was barely a whisper; "for everything. . .for saving me. . .and most importantly, for being a decent human being. . ."
She dipped her head forward, spread out her hands behind her, and bent her knees- in a VERY formal curtsy.
It was a super surprising moment for Nexus.
