"Now's not the time, Xinghe"

Castle Tryst, 05:40;

When the woman's voice reached downstairs, the Six tigers were the first ones to rush up to her room, Xi trio later. Xi Yuan's room was much closer to hers, so he followed shortly after the girl's brothers arrived. But the second he saw his mother, lying on the ground, Rong Xinghe holding onto her wrist, checking her pulse, he felt his mind go blank. What... 

"Mom!", the man ran over to Li Jungah, an anxious expression across his face, "What happened here?", he questioned no one, really. But for a second, he looked at Rong Xinghe, tears streaming down her eyes. 

"I-- I don't know.", the girl said, her hands and gown stained with the thick Red liquid, "We-- we were just talking.", she began to explain, only to be interrupted by the man.
