[ ...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.

[ that's such a weird way of framing it. ]
