Xichen eases up on the music immediately. (Breaking down everything in the room - Xichen isn't sure who is going to pay for it, but considering the big-scale chaos, he would allow it.

It's always breaking people that he would try to stop.)

He hesitates, then puts Liebing away and comes back down. Yes, he is in reach - the talismans alone, he knows won't ensure his safety. But aside from the resentment that powers Wen Qionglin, there is pain, and he has yet to find out how to stop himself from trying to soothe pain.

"I am sorry. What is happening - I don't understand it. It feels wrong, it is wrong, and for young master Wei to pay for it - again - is not fair.

"But this time, it is not hopeless. Your anger is righteous. Just remember that it is not all you have in your hands. Not all that your future must contain." He tries to get out fast, his mind working to figure out how to alleviate the suffering.

For himself, it has always been a matter of restraint. But it is high time to realize that he has many people in his life who have had to let out the anger in order to survive it.

"If you want to vent the anger, you can fight with me. No blade, no music. If I get hurt - nobody but us will know how it happened." He knows that he is not the person responsible for young master Wei's demise.

But neither were the people Wen Qionglin was attacking earlier.
