Lin honestly hadn't thought that Shui would appreciate this side of him. He was already in her bad books because of the crimes he had committed. Seeing him in an underground ring which basically reeked of violence was far from the Hou Lin that he was.
"May I?"
His daze broke when he saw Shui holding a cotton ball dipped in antiseptic.
"..Sure."
She nodded and pressed the cotton ball against the small cut on his jaw. She assumed to see a change in his expression but the stinging pain didn't cause any reaction within him.
"This is about Cai, isn't it?"
He glanced at her once and then looked away. "No it isn't."
"Then what is it about?" She asked, "I can only think of beating someone to a pulp as a way of venting out your frustrations."
She discarded the used cotton and applied some cream. Lin hadn't responded to her yet.
"I wonder if it was a mistake to come back."
She blinked twice.
