Xie just shrugs, a smug smile on his face - a hint of a laugh escaping as he's pulled in, before it's swallowed up in the kiss.
"I love you too." He murmurs back, squeezing the hand holding his. The world feels a little bit more right to have him there, even without the bond.
(And that, in itself, is comforting, to know that their love still exists even without the magic)
Then, suddenly, nothing is right at all.
Kill that police officer
It's an order, it's direct, and it has emphasis behind it, and Xie's switchblade is in his hand before he can even stop himself. Du Pusa grabs hold of Kevin and yanks him back just before Xie's hand slices towards him.
Xie's expression is horrified, but he lifts the blade ready to throw it instead.
"Which ones do you want me to handle?" Du Pusa asks - does he want her between him and Xie, before he does something he'll never forgive himself for, or does he want her to take on the lackeys so he can focus.
