[What the fck. He can't believe he's out here getting teased?! This is awful. Why did he agree to drink with Huaisang?!] I... didn't mean it, no. [Wow, he hates emphasizing he was trying to joke, but failed at it.

But he still said it, and that's as bad in his eyes. What kind of Sect Leader even jokingly slanders another who apparently just returned from two... strange forms of reality and death?]

I would... have to consider it. If my apology isn't enough. It would depend on what you... wanted, I suppose.
