[It does work. Just not well enough. As gratifying as that flash of terror is to see fly across the face of Huaisang after all those jabs about the state of his monstrous transformation, it's not truly about playing these cute little games, to pick away at the other out of spite. The only true satisfaction he'll get is from seeing him dead.]
Oh dear. Here, let me help you up. [Jin Guangyao replies with only the utmost concern. He doesn't wait for Huaisang to take his hand either, tucking the fan into his belt and reaching down to take one of Huaisang's hands in his - not in the clasp of hand to hand, but firmly around his wrist.
One step at a time. If Nie Huaisang is panicking, Jin Guangyao's tension is just as high, because this chance is too precious to waste, and now that Huaisang seems to have some sense of what's being done to him, it'll only cause problems if he runs with that knowledge to tell someone.
Just lift your head and look into my eyes, and we'll just see whose words end up killing who this time, he thinks viciously.]
