Oh, so very interesting!

"Great Lord, the king of Yue is without."

"Show him in." Fu Chai puts aside the memorial he's been reading and sits back, waiting with a small anticipation to see how Gou Jian responds to his new state-- or rather, if he'll respond. Fu Chai half thinks there'll be no change in him at all. Gratitude isn't in Gou Jian's nature, as well Fu Chai knows; and anyway, Gou Jian is still clinging to his grudge over Fan Li. In fact, if he thinks the alteration in his condition is owing to Fan Li's good offices, he'll be even more cross-grained than usual.

I ... I kind of love the phrasing/turns of phrase used here. Sublime! It's possibly me being weird! But I love it. Also damn, that closing line! Perfect. ^__^ Very much love for this piece!

I like the way this AU is going.
