[The strikes hurt, but it's a kind of hurt he can deal with. But it was just at that one quick moment, when he happened to sneak a quick glance Chen Gong's way to make sure the strategist is alright, that their eyes meet for a brief moment. He sees reflected in Chen Gong's eyes his own worries, and his heart twists to know that in some way they had been confirmed.
But there's no time to explain. He wrenches his gaze from Chen Gong and bristles instead at Gyuki; he can't afford to let the two demons notice that their other prisoner isn't as out of it as he seems. Though it seems that getting battered by Gyuki's assaults is a common, day-to-day occurance for him ever since he's been caught by Orochi's forces.
Eventually Sidewinder slithers forward and stops his thuggish comrade.]
"That's enough for now. After all, he is Lord Kiyomori's 'patient'."
[Those words were deliberately chosen to get under his skin; Sun Jian keeps his cool but on the inside he's burning with rage. To dub him a 'patient' in need of 'healing', when instead all he has been forced to endure is a slow poisoining of body, mind and spirit...he could feel his entire being sickening with every passing day, and despite his best at resisting Kiyomori's wicked enchantments he knew he was fighting a losing battle.]
"Come. We must bring him for his next 'treatment'."
[The words are laden with sadistic glee, echoed in Gyuki's howling laughter as the huge demon begins to drag Sun Jian out. Sun Jian doesn't want to accept his fate; he still believes, somehow, that someone could rescue him from this prison, and that's why he continues to fight back in any way he can no matter how pointless it may seem.
The door slams shut behind them, sealing Chen Gong in darkness again.]
