[The game being played at, well... the sound and sight of Tenkai, that was the final play he wanted to hear and see. Daud might not understand straightaway but it makes it all worth it for Xu Shu and his heavy breathing calms a little, though it's still strained as he struggles not to pass out. There's one more thing he needs to do before he sleeps.]
[Because Daud is on edge and ready to kill. That cannot happen. He won't let it. Summoning the last of his strength Xu Shu reaches out to grasp at the other man's clothing, tugging down, insistent. There's no time to explain in detail but if he doesn't do something... well, first.]
Let him.
[Come close. Clear the curse. The meaning is obvious even if it seems like a ridiculous request on many levels but if Tenkai doesn't get a chance to undo the cursed magic he inflicted as Mitsuhide then Xu Shu will die. What would Daud do if that happened? Doesn't bear thinking about.. he pulls again, a little harder, as hard as he is capable of.]
[Says in a raspy breath, even as his vision blackens:]
Dad... don't kill...
[It's vulnerable and as honest as he is capable of with Daud, more than he has been before, but that just means it should have more impact. Hopefully it'll be enough, Xu Shu thinks, as he sighs and finally lapses into unconsciousness.]
