You are a strong, healthy young lady. But, yes, if you reach your limit, I will intervene. [He might be risking his life to do so, but he will worry about that later.]
I'm good at meddling.
[He is excellent at acting too. So much so that no one from his world really trusts him anymore.]
You do not sell your body. There is a difference that should be acknowledged. [The work is unclean - that is why there is a distaste for it.] I have told no one.
I mean, I sort of do. Just a different kind. But I get what you mean, there’s a difference. It’s fine though. It doesn’t bother me, not really.
Is he always a brat like that? He must not have a lot of friends. I don’t know how Sizhui stands him. At least pretend to be likable like the rest of us, you know?
But I guess there’s something refreshing in that too. Honesty is pretty rare.
And let Jin Ling beat me? As if. If he can do it, I can do it.
[Nevermind that they’ve all been training for waaay longer than she has, considering she... has no formal training...]
Well, since it’s you and I like you and you asked so nicely... I guess I can keep trying to make friends. But if he calls me a prostitute again I’m entitled to one (1) free punch to the nose and no one is allowed to stop me.

[Rather they might stretch it out between two days, but shhh.]
I wouldn't blame you if it did bother you.
Jin Ling has a big heart. Once you earn his love and loyalty, he never wavers. Don't give up on him quite yet.

[Being competitive helps - just don't take it too far like he did.]
I think that is fair. You are also welcome to bring me into the conversation. He should know better than to use that name in my presence.
