“I understand... and appreciate it.” And for some reason, he's still stubbornly deciding to stay despite this revelation. “These are expectations I can learn, yes?”
Sizhui's turn to hesitate when that hand moves over his, making him clench tighter on the rag, his teeth sinking into the side of his cheek. It's true, the Lan have thousands upon thousands of their own rules, some that briefly dart through his mind while considering his current position knelt beside Vincenzo, all of which he pushes aside in favor of continuing to fuss. He may not be familiar with what comes in this position, but the actuality that he agreed, the fact he's not running— it has to count for something, even if he's more than capable once given the chance.
“Admittedly, I've never expected a charmed life.” Another rule he can recall even says they shouldn't accept such things, and yet he can't help making a joke as his hand lowers so his fingertips can carefully press against some bruises discoloring Vincenzo's shoulder. “Perhaps a semi-charmed one wouldn't be so bad, though.”
