Roan smirked, his voice low and taunting. "Why? It's not like you are interested in him… or are you?"
Jian Ci pressed down harder, his forearm digging into Roan's neck, violet psychic energy crackling violently around them. Roan smirked through the pain, his words cutting like a blade.
"I didn't expect the tenth prince to be into espers. And here I thought, after what your mother went through, you would refrain from such."
The mention of his mother made Jian Ci snap. His fist swung hard, striking Roan squarely in the face. The impact echoed in the tiled room, blood smearing at the corner of Roan's lips. Jian Ci swung again, but this time Roan caught his fist, his blue psychic power flaring in retaliation.
The air thickened, violet and blue energies colliding, the bathroom trembling under the pressure of their impending clash. Then the door opened.
