Li sighs and raises.<br/>"I see you are new to it. Whatever, let me sum the case up".<br/>He was walking in the room, counting on his fingers.<br/>"First, you saved his life, after he nearly died, thus earning a claim of duty. After that, you took him to an action, where he almost got killed by a dutiful tax collector! What if he had hurt one of your friends instead? I see you can take a hit, or three, but I also noticed the other ones are not as good at this! So", Li turned, locking his gaze with Gan's,<em>"Chen takes a hit instead of one of you, thus becoming your brother for spilling his blood alongside you!</em>You saved his life, and he might well have saved one of yours. Brotherhood means there are mutual obligations. But what do you do when your brother decides he wants to do something else with his life? Do you support him? Do you even offer him advice how to avoid being hurt by the next tax collector? No, you order him to go against his conscience, and chase him when he runs away! Is this your way of persuading your brother? Aren't you ashamed of yourself?"
