WHEN XUAN looked at the person before him, Damon was having that very blackening again. Imagine his terror, thinking that he may have said something bad that triggered this guy's dangerous side.
Left with no other choice, Xuan can only sacrifice himself for the safety of the people. With a crying face, Xuan jump over his friend, his hands on either shoulders of Damon. And with enough force as well as courage to face death head on, Xuan shake Damon's body like it's the last resort.
"Damon Farris Briar! Get a grip of yourself, bro!" Xuan yelled.
"Fuck! Stop shaking!"
Like a cat whose tail was stepped on, Xuan reflexively jumped away from his friend. He even made sure to increase the distance to ensure his escape once he was attacked.
"Damnit, that was nauseating," Damon complained, massaging his temples. "Again, I'm sorry, Xuan. I got carried away."
