“Yes,” Sizhui confirms, already feeling ridiculous but growing more and more uncertain by the minute. The expression on Jiang Cheng's face isn't helping matters much, though he doesn't question it because again, he knows just how nonsensical it sounds, especially being said aloud.
“I know, I know, it sounds absolutely unbelievable but...”
He trails off, shakes his head then continues shifting until he's upright, both hands flattening across his thighs, a slow, steadying sigh passing his lips as he allows himself a moment to recollect. It's true, wherever he came from, he's young and well-dressed even without the ostentatious headdress, heavy outer robe and thick belt he'd abandoned during his pitiful swimming attempt. The pale, cream-colored underclothes he's been left in look made of the finest silk and sparkle like iridescent gemstones have somehow been embedded into the fabric.
At the questioning of his status, however, the young man perks, a smile brightening his features as he amends, “A prince. I've not quite ascended high enough to reach godhood.” Someday, he'll figure it out and ultimately make that leap.
