He cared enough to wish for Leander's happiness.
"You promised, didn't you? You said to tell you when I wanted freedom. That means until that time comes, we will always be together."
"…Yeah, it's a promise."
Leander wrapped his arms around Qiong Xing's back as he hugged tightly and Qiong Xing gently stroked him down.
He thought to himself how much of a handful this boy was, when suddenly...
"Don't touch that person!"
Through the clanging and rattling of the bars, Elias's angry shout echoed.
The calm and composed Elias now glared at him with a furious expression.
To be precise, it was Leander, who was hugging Qiong Xing, that he glared at.
"What's happening? Wah!?"
Qiong Xing stepped closer to the cage, wondering what had occurred, when he was suddenly pulled fiercely against the bars by Elias.
Elias hugged him tightly as if refusing to let him go, leaving Qiong Xing struggling to breathe.
"W-What is going on!? That sound just now!? You, what are you doing!?"
