When he finally managed to get it all out Xiu gave him a smile. "I understand. If my master and I had been closer before he passed and I heard someone speaking ill of him, no matter who they may be, I would be upset as well. I perhaps would not have yelled as you did, but I would have been very upset. She means a lot to you and it was wrong of me to repeat such things without thinking of how it would effect you, for that I am sorry." it had hurt her feelings that he would shout at her in such a way but after she had thought it over it did not take her long to decide that she would forgive him when he finally got around to an apology.
"Now that this is forgiven and forgotten there is something I would like to ask you to do for me, if you are willing?" She felt a lot better now, it was easy enough for her forgive, she just wished he would have done it sooner. He had given her time to second guess herself and her understanding of him that he would actually apologize. But she firmly believed in better late than never.
