If he leaves this room in the next three minutes with this smile on his face, everything is going to be okay. That was the plan. He so easily could've succeeded. He was so close.
It feels like a fabric bag with a load of heavy rocks. It has been holding the weight for a time but just when you start to relax, the first few threads snap. The others quickly follow and without another bag or some other kind of support, the fabric shreds and the rocks tumble.
He can't breathe. Just when his knees hit the floor, he doesn't know, but Jin Ling can't breathe. Fear gripes his heart like boa constrictor around it's prey, squeezing so painfully he wants to scream. He gasps but it's useless as his lungs burn, crying for relief. He can't get air.

"I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't just witnessed it not ten minutes ago. He was being so gentle with Yuan and he couldn't take his eyes off him. He looked.. he was happy." He snorts a laugh and shakes his head. "And the guy isn't anything what you'd think Jin Ling would be into! He's shy and soft spoken. If I didn't know better, I'd say he was a Lan!"
That question makes him laugh again. "That was a strange part. Again, I wouldn't have believed Ling's story if Yuan hadn't backed it up. Get this.. Yuan's party was traveling to Yanling for something, I didn't ask what. They get attacked by not one but two dire bears. Ling comes upon them and kills them with his night hunting party that just happened to be nearby. Those things are nasty! He didn't have any injuries that I could see either, but I guess he could be hiding it well. That sounds like something he'd do. But do you think he could've gotten that much better that he can take on two of those monsters?"
