[ everything is practically routine by this point — you fish out where the kappa are hiding, stop those who are trying to intervene, and move on to the next spot. not that it makes it any easier, the more he has to keep doing this. he's encountered all sorts of people trying to put a stop to what was going on, and honestly, he couldn't really blame them.
still, he has a job to do. it's led him to the stalemate before him now, with lan wangji standing in the way to shield a cowering kappa who is desperate to make the wall they're up against swallow them whole. he doesn't move an inch quite yet, not ready to make the first move if he doesn't have to.
(he'd rather avoid it, if it can be helped at all.) ]
Inaccurate? I only said what's true. It's not as though the Department will care you tried to intervene as long as the Kappa is apprehended.
[ slowly, he adjusts the position of his left foot, leaning forward. the tension is so thick that one could practically taste it. it tastes like irony — how quickly this city can turn you against someone you worked together with to escape a harrowing situation. ]
