[ he laughs softly, the smile on his face growing wider at the introduction. there is a good man under all of that bluster and bravado, a man who cares deeply for those around him-- a sentiment that jing yuan understands better than most. there were few people he had felt so deeply for until he arrived in this city. before his past life caught up with him. before the red threads of fate wrapped themselves around him so tightly he no longer knew which way to tread.

now he is caught in those threads, his heart bursting with emotions that are both his and not his. the desire to protect those dear to him gripping his heart in a vice grip. truly, edward could not have picked a better man to ally with. ]
