Without blinking, Cixi met Lorian's eyes. "You have formed an opinion about a person you met eleven minutes ago. I find that more revealing about you than it is about me."
"I don't need eleven minutes," Lorian said simply. "I need only to look at the situation you have created."
The table was completely silent, listening to the heated exchange between Cixi and Lorian. It seems Cixi has a wild mouth and is ready to talk back with anyone.
