[QUOTE="Lichtenhart, post: 575329, member: 761"] Xieng-Chi is utterly shocked. She only wished to win or lose with dignity. But she never expected judges could be swayed by a fighter's grace. She looks at Kaiten's face and knows he's upset too, but he's a honorable man, and won't challenge the decision of the judges. But he deserved to win. [I]What am I supposed to do? Such a difficult decision and so little time to think! I can't pretend it didn't happen, I can't pretend tha I am what I am not. But I can't step down from the final duel and betray my Khan. What will I do?[/I] And then she hears the answer whisper in the wind. She bows in front of her opponent and steps close to him, whispering "We both know the judges are wrong. You should have won this match. But I can't withdraw without betraying my lord, and ask to replay the match would be to question the holyness of the Emerald Test. So, I can see only one way for us to leave this field with our honor unabated. Would you marry me, Kaiten-san?" [/QUOTE]
