Li started to sigh, than smiled more brightly than he had for quite a while.<br/>"Well, this means you will indeed be safer with us. I should probably be sorry that you are in danger for reasons that don't depend on you..."<br/>His hand didn't leave her own. Now he reached with the left hand and slowly stroked the side of her face, as gently as the calluses on his own hands allowed. They were less hard, but they were still there from working with the daggers. Of course, working with daggers also didn't allow them to get so hard as might be the hands of a person who uses larger weapons.<br/>"...but if that means we are going to travel together, I can't say I'm really sorry and remain honest. Even if that makes me a terrible person, I'm still glad we met!"<br/>His hand hooked and gripped lightly the back of her head, pulling her gently towards him. It was the slightest pull, leaving it to her to resist or not.
