I really don't know. I... I would hope not.
[ hope. he actually suspects he isn't — not physically, anyway. his presence here is certainly hurting her, though, that he is certain of. ]
[He lets out a shuddering exhale, clenching and unclenching his fists. After another moment passes, he nods.]
Thank you for telling me, Nie-xiong. You don't by chance know what kind of abilities he has, do you? I know already that he isn't entirely human. I've spoken with a man from his world, Mal. [And he'll be speaking with him again after this, getting as much information as he can. The more he knows about who and what Kirigan is, the better.]
I'm sorry that I have nothing else to contribute, Wei-xiong. I ended up finding out by accident, and I didn't know who else to tell about this. It's... it's really not like I can do anything about it. If he's a powerful man, then... you know I wouldn't be able to stand up to him.
[ he did not find out by accident, and he knew instantly what to do with the information — but it's not like he'd admit to any of that. ]
[He shakes his head, forcing a more neutral expression.] That's not your fault Nie-xiong. Just stay away from him.
[Frowning, he lets his gaze drift away for a moment, already considering his options on what to do next. It's probably best if he talks to someone who's been here longer than he has, and who he knows wouldn't be so easily taken by him.] There are some people here I trust.
[Mostly, Itachi and Gwen, but he's going to see what else he can learn from Mal too.]
And I know a man here from his world who. Well, isn't a fan of his. I'm sure I'll be able to learn more. [He raises his eyes back to his friend and gives him a brisk nod.] Thanks for telling me.
