You can put that down. This face does not want to fight. This face hates violence. This face hates killing. This face hates the state that he is in, but he cannot leave things as they are.
[ Tenkai keeps walking forward, steadily, calmly, looking to the man and not the blade brandished in his direction. The steps he takes are not swaying -- like a hanged man swinging side=to-side -- but instead he drags his feet against the ground as though he carries a heavy burden.
He fixes his eyes upon Xu Shu, watching his weakened state attempt to spare a few words to Daud. He drops his chin a little as he feels a wretched freezing sensation curl around his heart. Explain quickly. Which part and where? I wish I could simply tell you a lie and a truth. But you may interrupt-- ]
I intend to break the curse. If it remains, he will ... [ The closer that he gets, the stench of blood intensifies. How could it not? His once pale skin is coated in red. His once long white hair is now a deep shade of crimson. ] ... there is no reason for him to fall here in this place, at this time.
[ Your son deserves better. The monk wishes to add but cuts himself off. His gaze slides to look over the carnage that took place in the clearing. This face has no right to say that. That face has no right to prod that weakness, either. He continues speaking, continues explaining; his words quick and hurried even as he may seem leisurely in everything else. ]
But after breaking it, I intend to heal what I can. I cannot replenish the blood that has been lost, but I can revitalize the spirit to ensure the body will have a faster recovery. [ He can drain the energy straight from the soul. ] I intend to use the curse materials themselves to do so. [ Tenkai does not believe that Daud will shed tears for the lost spirits that have been employed by Mitsuhide to do mischief being used as fodder to ensure Xu Shu's survival.
He does not think that Daud will care about that at all. But he does think that the man will care about Tenkai using his abilities upon the young man once more -- regardless of the reason. ]
If you do not like that... the only other option is your own soul. [ He stands now one or two paces away from him. He stares at him, breathing in deep, holding his breath. The choice is yours. The choices is yours, but you must make it quick before I make it for you. I explained when I did not want to, so you must choose when you do not want to. ]
