As she continued to shiver and cry on the brig cell's bed, Xinyi simply watched her calmly for a few moments, his cold expression had faded as if it had never existed. The fact that she simply surrendered like this wasn't something he thought would happen. He could've done a lot of things with this, there were so many opportunities before he let out a soft sigh. Bringing himself to sit on the edge of the bed, he lightly grasped her hair slightly, letting its short locks thread between his fingers as he pulled away.<br/><br/><span style="color: #FFFF80">"I thought you were a bit stronger than that..."</span>His voice didn't sound disappointed, nor did it really sound pleased either. His golden eyes didn't seem to hold as much coldness before, even without the expression. Dark thoughts were sure there though, after she had surrendered to him in such a way.<span style="color: #FFFF80">"As you are the only heir to your father's Kingdom, you should try to keep your composure."</span>He'd take out his handkerchief and gently reach over to clear her face of tears and saliva. He didn't like it when women cried, at least when it came to something as trivial as that. It almost made him feel as if she was pitying him and surrendering out of it, even though he could see how much her heart had broke from learning the Truth.<br/><br/>All of a sudden the ship would shake, come to a rapid slower pace as if they had been pulled out of hyperspace.<span style="color: #00FFBF">"This is the Bridge, we've encountered the Interdictor Fleet! They're using shadow mass to keep us out of hyperspace! All fighters and gunman, report to your stations!"</span>A strong alarm sounded after the announcements, the whole ship was on red alert, red flashing lights began to go off as the ship shook lightly from incoming laser fire which impacted the shields. There was however no real damage gained, as expected of a Dathian ship as their technology was superior to the Alliance's. That was the one thing they refused to share.
