an emotion that soo-won cannot quite restrain - there is surprise, but it is short-lived. rather, it is followed very quickly by understanding, but a sense of 'ah, of course it would be'. because if there should be anyone who would be able to complete the act, if he would entrust the information to anyone else -
[his expression melts to one of - fondness, warm and sincere.
of course she would do this.]
... it sounds as though Rabbit's team might not require Hilda to take matters into her own hands after all. She may still accompany me if I have to act but....
Knowing Jeanne...
She will make it incredibly obvious, and she will also not be compelled to refrain from a confession by trial's end. If it means saving all of us, she will make the sacrifice every time.
[ . . . hah. he looks sad for a moment, before he becomes - resolute.]
[ xie lian watches the way soo-won's face shifts, and then smiles. it's knowing, maybe, but agreeing, too. ] I have often found myself in agreement with Miss Jeanne. She views the world in a way that is best described as optimistic and hopeful, but pragmatically so. It is how my life and experiences have taught me to see the world, too.
I deeply believe she would not act unless it was necessary - and the time has come for it to be necessary. Not only that, but it would relieve someone else on her team from taking on such a heavy burden.
I will save her. I will not let her fall for helping to bring back her team alive.
If there is any way you can encourage her to avoid the teams in danger, that would be helpful. Rabbit or Tiger are the two with the most. I will not speak with her to make sure she avoids suspicion of my role.
[in part, it is easier for soo-won to make this decision now that he knows that hilda won't be directly in the line of fire. he does not have to choose between two young ladies who are important to him - but he knows that hilda was willing to take action out of necessity.
jeanne is more decisive than hilda - and he does not know how much she will choose to confide in him, but... he hopes that it will be enough.]
.... she's impressive.
In a way that I've never met someone like her before.
[and his voice grows softer - as though it is something that he is not allowed to admit, to speak too loud else a terrible secret will be made clear to the world.
how he adores her.]
She knows nothing of you and your role - and she will not hear of it from me. I will speak to her as though I will certainly condemn her for what she's done, as she would ask me to.
[ . . . . ]
She would never ask to be saved - but I think... it would be nice if, just once, someone could come to her aide.
I will entrust her to you, Xie Lian. Please know how important this matter is to me.
En - to me as well. I will ensure that this comes to pass in every manner I am able to.
[ xie lian touches his heart and bows as he does so - because it's solemn to him as well. he can feel how much soo-won cares and adores jeanne, and as important as a prayer, he will put all of his effort into making it happen, as he always have. ]
...If you can find out where she might spend curfew, that would be very helpful, as well. I need to know as soon as possible.

his expression softens, a little, brows knitting together. ]
....It's Miss Jeanne, Soo-won.

Save her.
I will pursue her lead without hesitation.
