All's fair in love and war. I hope you'll still agree to another round of starchess, at another time.
[ claude said "at least for today"... so jing yuan will continue to live in this shared delusion a little while longer. he is gazing at claude with eyes filled with VERY SINCERE VERY REAL NOT FAKE ADORATION. ]

Moreso than you think. [ he'll use claude's words right back at him, in fact. ] I always play to win.
[ he can lose one battle, to win a war. ]
