[ lan wangji's cool and steady response doesn't come as a surprise to him. after all, this is the same attitude he encountered when they both managed to escape the collapsing underground by the skin of their teeth. on the one hand, he appreciates that someone is at least standing up for the kappa, but on the other... ]
I was hoping we could have avoided this.
[ that's all six has to say on that matter. while he respects the other man's decision, he isn't about the come out of this empty-handed. he's the one who strikes first, already in a position that makes it easy to charge at lan wangji (and he knows that if he hadn't, the other man would have likely beaten him to it). he remains mindful of the kappa when he brings his arm down in a sweeping arc, aiming to claw at lan wangji's chest.
a warning strike, really, as if gauging how he's going to react. ]
