[ hello fellow suitemate! honestly at first he didn't even realize someone was trying to get his attention so he's like, half out the door before he hears that chuckle, but after it he realizes.
oh.
this guy might be talking to him. he jogs back, staring blankly at the blond for all of two seconds—and then his eyes land on that scar...
...
......
that seems like the kind of thing someone probably shouldn't ask about, but he kind of wants to ask about it... ]
Is introducing yourself supposed to be fun? I hear more people yelling my name than I say it myself, so I don't know. [ well, he can say it now? he guesses. ] I'm Chu Wenshan. They say blood flows like rivers wherever I go, and I'm fourth in the Jianghu rankings.
[ don't think the scar staring goes unnoticed, but it's hardly the first time that people have stared at it and it won't be the last time people will stare at it so there's nothing to be said.
what is to be said is about that introduction that he provides because wow??? though as concerning as that might be sabo's more interested than anything. ]
"Blood flows like rivers"? [ he hums softly, but without any sort of judgement. ] That's certainly a reputation that you have.
[ ...ah. that's actually a very good question. a better one than he would've come up with on his own (this guy is smart, chu wenshan decides absently), even after hearing it a couple of times. it's always lone swordsman this, lone swordsman that, blood flows like rivers, etc..
his hand raises to his chin and he stares off thoughtfully—or at least as thoughtfully as his face can get. when he speaks, his voice is a little slow, as if he's still contemplating. ]
I don't know. [ taken literally? no, but even he recognizes that it's a metaphor of some kind. ] I don't know if I was that kind of ruthless person before, but if people attacked me, I must've attacked them back.
People are still attacking me, but I haven't killed any of them. So that must mean the answer is no.
[ sabo's patient and will be fine waiting for him chu wenshan to find his answer, and it's a probably a good thing that he does as the one he gets is...interesting. rather, it's interesting of how he goes about answering it. there seems to be a level of disconnect between the thoughts.
he crosses his arms as he replays the answer in his head. ]
It must be tough having people attacking you but, what did you mean by you "must've attacked them back"?
I guess it was. [ or, maybe not? it isn't like he remembers. but, this guy must be pretty kind to say something like it's tough having people attack you. kind and smart... that's a good combination.
though, did he say something weird there? chu wenshan's hand lifts, rubbing the back of his head slowly. mr. ou is usually on his case about not using his words, or not speaking clearly, so maybe he misspoke again. only, he isn't sure what this guy is actually asking... ]
When someone attacks me now, my body reacts before I can think. [ okay, well. to be fair, he does have time to think sometimes. he just doesn't. ] I figure it was the same before, too.

Do you agree with what they have to say?
