When she didn't quite understand what he meant to the whole reaction to the dress, he tilted his head to the side. When she had first seen the dress, in person rather than on the screen, she seemed impressed. That and whenever he visited her planet, he never saw anyone wear the dresses that had been supposedly purchased by his nation's commerce guild, which was weird. Shrugging softly as to throw off the question about what he meant, he would take another mouthful of food into his mouth.<br/><br/><span style="color: #FFFF80">"No one really knows if they're going to be a good ruler,"</span>Xinyi stated with a soft chuckle, knowing very well it was a sense of perspective. There will always be at least one person who believes the greatest of rulers is one of the worst, or a pretty bad excuse for one.<span style="color: #FFFF80">"It will all depend on our agendas, how we execute them, and how we get things done politically and civilly."</span>He just leaned back into where he was seated, not really using his hands, or at least attempting not to talk with his hands as it seems political leaders and public speakers generally get taken over by the urge to do so. He was no different in that case and refrained from waving his hands about like an idiot.<br/><br/>Noticing the slight blush after she talked about how she was not allowed to have any male friends, nor could she have a boyfriend, he smirked a little as she talked of change. Well now they were engaged and they could be together. While male friends would be awkward, he would have to deal with a significant other having friendships other than himself, it was the mature thing to do. Though he would most likely like to fill the boyfriend, well fiancee and later husband role, but he would like to see where things go from here. Then again, he could always turn on her and take her entirely for himself, but he doubted she would like that very much. Probably wouldn't bother thinking of it as she could probably assassinate him later on. These thoughts though, sometimes were so very toxic.
