[ How surprising. These two certainly didn't seem anywhere near disgusted now, despite all their talk from earlier. Whether Judal was just eager to win a challenge or not, Ling didn't quite care. So long as it turned into his favor, who cares? Just play along. As the man pressed closer to him, he only draped his arms around his shoulders, smirking at him for a moment ... before glancing back at Ninurta with that same smirk on his face.

Of the two, Ninurta was the one that surprised him most. Ling was far from innocent, and neither was he stupid. He could see exactly why he made that remark, and he had no qualms about pointing it out. ]

You're into watching, aren't you. But unfortunately, I'm not sure whether this guy here can provide a good enough show or not..
