It was not because he felt utterly guilty about abandoning his little sister to their father that he agreed to this arrangement, no sir -- and oh, who was he kidding, it was exactly because of that.

"- and then you called me a muscled bag of bolts," Razorfist (no, Matthias) was saying, around a mouthful of abalone that Shangqi had brought over (as a peace offering, because prior to coming over he'd been struck by the need to contribute that was illogical and yet, arresting) and it was an ugly habit to eye the way Matthias was holding his chopsticks, and then to ignore it, because Xialing was rolling her eyes and snorting, still tense, but with a quirk to her lips.

This was a gathering of three, between them the gentle steam of boiling broth, into which Shangqi reached, feeling awkward and alone.

Thanks for linking the video, OP. I always wondered about Razorfist's presence but I never knew about this cut scene! Also pls forgive the run-on sentences lmao I tried to stick to the three sentences guideline... for better or for worse, eep
