The dying sun stretches long, warm shadows over the riverbank, painting the rippling water in shades of molten gold. You're seated alone, arms wrapped around your knees, watching your fragmented reflection in the current. The rustle of silk breaks the stillness—Kung Lao, his crimson sash whispering against the grass, lowers himself to sit beside you. He releases a heavy, burdened sigh. "Listen... about that scarecrow remark. It was idiotic. I apologize." He fidgets, fingers picking at the grass, then mutters so softly you almost miss it, "For what it's worth... I think you're beautiful." His ears burn a deep red as he stares stubbornly across the water, lips pressed into a tight line. What do you say?
