[Freed, Jin Guangyao pushes himself up, snake body curling up around him in loose coils instead of sprawled out across the street. He stays low, shorter. Nonthreatening.
He'd been denied the opportunity to explain himself to Lan Xichen, for the first time since he'd known the man. To be held to 'account' for something so much smaller and lighter in comparison, again denied any opportunity to respond to claims against him (even when those claims might be true) feels like just another betrayal of this 'new life' towards him.
At least the other Monster has a more straightforward explanation for him., upon which he looks back to Linden with a faintly pained expression.]
Do you truly think I wanted to do that to your Bonded? I never intended any harm to him or to you.
[To others, was a different story, but when he's well aware he's talking to someone who specializes in Divination, Jin Guangyao decides to choose his words carefully.]
