SOLANDIS by the fantastic Sen!!
"You want to know why they died?" he asks. He leans forward and Chu Wanning resists the urge to push back and put more space between himself and his Shizun. There is nowhere for him to go, and he doesn't think that Mo Ran would react well if he were to try and leave right now. Rather than answering, he bites the inside of his cheek. He doesn't trust himself to say the right thing, but he is beginning to question whether he really wants to know Mo Ran’s reasons. Captivating though it is, Mo Ran’s face holds no kindness. But Mo Ran doesn’t wait for Chu Wanning’s confirmation. "They died,” he says slowly, “Because if they didn't, they would have tried to keep you from me.”
