The Shu lord didn't want his pity or anybody. This was not supposed to go this way. His body was trembling as he was dressed, as the field around was quiet. Ling Tong couldn't believe this happened and he just watches his own comrade rape someone. Swallowing the lump in his throat, couldn't hold back the choke as he looked at the other lord.
"I'm so...sorry..."
Before he could say nothing, the older male took off running. Ling Tong wanted to reach out to him. But he couldn't do it because he could the guilt holding him down. He couldn't say either as he went back to camp, the fire was contained. Everyone was gathering around in the main camp, where Lu Xun was speaking with their lord, Zhou Tai by his side. Where the others were there, Ling Tong's eyes scanning the area and spotted Gan Ning chatting away. Looking away, his eyes cast down as Sun Quan whistle for everyone attending.
"Everyone! Today was our lucky day, where Shu has crumble before our might." stated Sun Quan.
Gan Ning chuckled. "We taught them a lesson that they will never 'forget' " Ling Tong side eye him and glared at the pirate, clenched his fist and snorted. Lean a little on his uninjured ankle.
"You giving them a lesson? Don't make me laugh. Only lesson you give on how to be an idiot."
The pirate glared at Ling Tong and annoyed. "I know for a fact that I have given a 'proper' lesson." he stated. Ling Tong felt his heart sink, and he knows what he meant. Will everyone else pick up on it? Carefully watching around and nobody didn't catch on. Feeling the sin crawling on his back once again.
"Yeah? A stupid lesson. That what you only good for moron." he said coldly. The look on Gan Ning's face shown, how pissed off he was with Ling Tong. A few had to hold him back from not hurting him. Sun Quan was annoyed with these bickering. Sighed, whistle loudly again.
"Enough! We will finish this meeting later when everyone is well rested and not whatever this is! Leave and get check up on and rest." he ordered. Everyone nodded and took his word to heart. Gan Ning yanked himself from their gripped and roughly bump Ling Tong. The male grunted and glared at the pirate. Huffed. Rolled his eyes, as he felt someone grabbed his arm. It was Lu Xun.
"Can you stay back for a moment? I wanted to talk to you alone." he said. Ling Tong stared for a moment and looked over his shoulder at everyone else. " Like here or somewhere private?" he asked.
"Somewhere else."
Ling Tong nodded and follow Lu Xun to the opening of a forest not too far from their camp. The area was dead from the horrific fire attack. Ling Tong was a bit worried but didn't show it. "So what the problem Lu Xun?" he asked calmly.
"Well, I notice your behavior with Gan Ning."
"So? You already know how I feel about him. Everyone does it not no secret or anything. We have a love and hate relationship."
Lu Xun shakes his head no and stares right into his eyes, Ling Tong squirmed a bit but kept his eye contact with him. "You was colder today? Is something wrong?"
Ling Tong was surprised but he shouldn't be surprised at all. But he was surprised that he notice how he was acting. Can he tell him or what? Something hit him entirely. Mentally. "Everything is fine. I'm hurt and I want to sleep. That probably why I'm colder today." he lied smoothly. Walking away from the young stragiest. Keeping his head high, everything was flooding back. His body started to ache as the pain came in, as he walks fast to his room. Closing the door behind him as he reaches his room. Panting. Out of breath and sliding down the door. Holding back a choke. Trying not to cry.
"Why couldn't I say it?" Horrified. He really want Pang Tong back, he felt so alone in this place. He could feel himself fading away from his spot.
