[ wherever alisaie is on this fine tuesday, xie lian is coming to find her!! he looks bright and happy as he does, and greets her with his usual, polite bow. ]
Miss Alisaie! [ san lang, a ferret, chirrups loudly as well. ] May I borrow you for just a moment? I'd like to tell you something.
[ he reaches out, and if she will let him, takes her hands! and makes direct eye contact. ] I think that your passion and heart is truly inspiring. I very much appreciate the way that you have not only thrown yourself into solving as many things as you can here, but also specifically how immediately you rose up to help Baraqiel-gege.
I think that you are strong of character, strong of heart, and that your realm, this realm, and your brother alike are very lucky to have you.
[She isn't expecting it at all, but he can indeed take her hands! For a moment there's bewilderment on her face, but as he speaks it shifts to amusement, then to some combination of pleased and surprised before back to absolutely bewildered, a small flush rising to her cheeks. STOP THAT XIE LIAN YOU'RE EMBARRASSING HER YOURSELF?????????
(Maybe it's a good thing her vision hasn't returned yet, though her eyes are now struggling to find focus rather than staring entirely unseeing.)
It takes her a moment to react, but when she does it's with an attempt at a laugh.]
Well! I don't think I need to ask what that was about. An exchange with the Watchers?
[ the worst part of this is that he is absolutely not even remotely embarrassed. he is just genuinely this sincere and clearly honest about his feelings. ]
Mm. Well, yes - but, I would have told you the same anyway. It is only the truth.
I would say it to someone I knew for a day, if I could judge their character well. I like to think I am very good at finding people who are jade among stones. [ he is in fact very good at this! ] And you most certainly are, Miss Alisaie - the clearest, brightest sort.
[internal screaming; that blush isn't going down at all.]
Well, I--
[nope. She tries a couple more times to figure out something to say in response but CONGRATULATIONS XIE LIAN you have officially made her speechless!!!!
It'll take her a few moments before she finally manages to find the words.]
I think you give me more credit than you ought to. If I am jade, it is a flawed one.

Of course. I'll always have a moment to speak with you, Xie Lian. What is it?

And do you often go around saying such things to people you've only known a month?

But... thank you, nevertheless.
