"That's very nice of you to say." Huaisang blushes and flutters his fan, acting very shy and uncertain. At least she's sitting and cooperating now, with a slightly better sense of her position in this situation. Huaisang just still isn't sure what he's going to do with her. "I didn't want you stuck down there in the dungeons. It seems very unpleasant."
Giving her a hopeful little smile, he taps his fan lightly against his lips. "I didn't think I'd see you again so soon! What brings you back to Qinghe?"
"Oh, I..." It takes all she has to keep the scowl from her face, or keep from snatching his fan and slapping him with it. What impertinence to play her so, to make her dance for him... But she is in no position to refuse, right? Right.
So she keeps smiling her best simpering smile and coos, "Oh, I couldn't stand not seeing Nie-gongzi again, and thanking him for his generosity and his trust in releasing me! The villagers have been very welcoming." Disgusting peasants who make you work your hands to the bone for some watery soup and a bed in the stables. What a vile people, just as vile as their leaders. She widens the smile, turning it a notch more subservient. "I was hoping I could pay my debt to Nie-gongzi, if I'm permitted."
