[His eyes dart to the side when he notices someone and immediately lowers his energies. Standing straight, he puts a hand behind his back while letting his face go neutral.
Though he does narrow his eyes at the mention of him being dishonorable because that is entirely wrong.]
I have stated to him that I have no intentions with the one known as Xie. Our last encounter he was a stranger and would not tell me why he was on your grounds. I allowed him to pass when he proved to not be a threat to you or your husband.
[That's his side of things. He falls quiet again after that. There's no need to say more.]
[ Sadly for Ye Baiyi, Zishu is used to such harsh glares. Especially in ignoring them.
His gaze lowers as he listens to both sides. While he doesn't quite sigh, he turns and clasps his hands before him in a little bow to Xue Qianxun. ]
Thank you for your restraint. I hope you can forgive me for not doing more in protecting your peace here.
[ Straightening, he turns back to Ye Baiyi and gestures pointedly out of the house. ]
I have no reason not to believe his word. Some people help because they feel like it, or because they have been asked. I have made many friends here because of that kindness.
[He nods to accept the apology then watches the other man leave. Dropping the barrier on the room behind him, he looks at the broken door at the front.]
It was not my intention to bring conflict to your home. I will work harder to avoid it.
[Because he likes living here and he is capable of being polite instead of politely rude. Sometimes. If motivated.]
[ Zishu is more amused than insulted when Baiyi informs him he's disappointed the sword immortal. Arguing at this moment doesn't suit him, so he watches the man storm away before turning back to Xue Qianxun.

How is he being dishonorable to Xie'er?
[ Sparing a glance at Xue Qianxun, he nods just a little in greeting and hinted thanks for not continuing to fight. ]
no subject
He will not deny it or tell me his intentions in helping him. After our previous interactions and his continual disrespect, I question his honor.

Believe what you want then if you're willing to make conclusions on so little. You disappoint me, Zhou Zishu.
[He turns and storms out of the room.]

He shakes his head to dismiss fault. ]
I disappoint him often, do not worry about it.
no subject
[He genuinely doesn't care about the relationship between these two. They can do as they please.]
I must request a repair for my door though.
no subject
Of course. I will see it done by tomorrow. You are welcome to stay in another room until then if you wish.
no subject
I will manage for one day.
[He nods his head. It's meant to be a thank you even though it looks like he's dismissing him. He's still figuring out this being a person thing.]
no subject
He could take that nod as a dismissal, or as a thank you. He decides on the latter. ]
I was about to head for the kitchen to get some tea. Do you need anything?
no subject
[Right, he is still feeling tired. Well he can rest in the room with his pipa since it's door is fine.]
I will retire for now if that is alright.
no subject
Then I will leave.
[ He steps back before turning and leaving. He'll send out a message for the door to be repaired before actually going on to the kitchen. ]
