Looking over at the other girls when they had gasped, he simply just stared at them with a bewildered expression for a moment then turned his attention back to Hana and Kage. While she was rather correct in a way that the thing that would make it perfect, was that her mother was alive. He simply ruffled the top of her head as he could see her begin to tear up. He did miss that smirk, but now he met the side of her that was now crying for herself rather than for someone else. It seemed it was much more painful to see his past than for her to think of her thought to be dead mother. At least, she had more time to grief than she did for what he had gone through, so it was somewhat understandable.<br/><br/>Xinyi looked over at Hana when she spoke up about her brother, and simply rolled his eyes slightly and chuckled before listening to the question about him and Kage getting married.<span style="color: #FFFF80">"The engagement is only official in words, the Emperor will have to approve."</span>He would sate as he crossed his arms with a slight smirk now on his face instead of his devious smile. His focus went back to Kage however and tilted his head forward, so that his eyes seemed more devious than his smile.<span style="color: #FFFF80">"And guess who else thinks you're dead."</span>He tried to confirm that it was her mother which had been the one who wasn't truly dead.
