This was an awkward situation that M/n was in, he was currently sitting across from Blade as he casually read a book while Blade tapped his fingers on the table, burning holes into M/n's face.
Why did that woman send him in today!? What am I supposed to do with this man anyway? Do I treat him like a puppy or an extremely feral wolf?
"Well if you're going to sit there and burn away at my face with your gaze at least make me some tea. The least you can–"Blade stabs the table with a dagger. This pisses M/n off just like before, thus he rolled up the nearby newspaper that unfortunately had an article about his kidnapping and hit Blade over the head with it.
"Have you no concept of value or respect?!"

"How dare you–"

"Oh shut up. Learn to respect the items given to yourself and of others. This table was made from wood harvested in spring. I can smell it clear as day. The only thing here that comforts me and you stab a knife in it!"The scolding confused the man, he was beginning to think M/n was insane a bit especially since this is the second time the older man has struck him, twice at that.
"Why should I serve you, This is your room and you're the host. What happened to hospitality?"

"Hospitality is extended to wanted guests. You're an unwanted nuisance who got me kidnapped because you don't know how to behave."

"I didn't get you kidnapped, Dan Heng IL did. He will pay for what he has done to me. Whether you are in the way or not, M/n. You are not one of the five, so keep your distance, I'm warning you."M/n rolls his eyes and repeats his statement of wanting tea from his unwanted guest. Blade's eye twitches as he stands up and heads for the tea pot but not to make tea, he flings the pot in M/n's direction but with a tilt of his head, he avoids getting hit by the pot. Not once did M/n look up from his book.
"Throwing a tantrum I see...If you're going to do that get out. I'll just tell Kafka to take money from you to replace what you've damaged today."Blade rolls his eyes and angrily leaves the room, slamming the door shut on his way out.

A shaky sigh leaves M/n once again. Dealing with Blade was mentally draining. He turns to the broken pot and decides to pick up the pieces.
"Ugh, he's not being observant because I keep making him angry but I'm treating him like an ill-mannered dog...They say never show fear when taming a wolf...But maaann!!!"M/n felt like he wanted to cry himself to sleep again. He felt like he aged a few thousand years in one day.
"Ugh! Of all the Qilin they choose me for everything! They chose me for spring, I was chosen to fight in that stupid war, then they chose me to take care of Dan Heng, made me rep for our house, and now this!! When will my life be my own!? Ugh!!"Angry, M/n threw a few shards of the broken tea pot at the door but Kafka was there and caught one.
"What's the matter, darling?"

"Does no one know privacy!? Get out!"

"Don't worry I just came to give you food, the butler said you haven't been eating since the day before yesterday. I promise you that we won't tamper with your food. See watch this."Kafka eats a bit of the food and drinks some of the water from the pitcher she brought.
"Nothing to worry about. So please eat, we need you in good health."

".....Get out."

"As you wish but over time you'll soon grow used to your predicament like every other time."M/n felt his heart quiver at those words. Kafka was right. M/n would give up at just accept his place like many times before but he didn't wish to hear that from Kafka of all people! Yet he quietly mumbles for her to leave the room once again as he starts to cry.
"I hate this..."
