[From what Daqiang understands of mortals (through the novels he's read), if this were the sort of curse that some magician were to cast - possibly to teach two people what it's like to live a life very different than their own - having to survive a lightning strike while kissing just to get their own body back would be cruel. Mortals could survive lighting strikes, but it was still a much bigger risk to their lives. For the two immortals standing in front of Cid, it wasn't so much cruel as it was an inconvenience. An incredibly problematic one, of course, but not potentially life threatening in and of itself. Daqiang supposes Cid must find that inconvenience humorous.
Cid found many things humorous that Daqiang did not understand.
With a huff, Daqiang turned his head and frowned. Took a breath.]
Fine. This venerable one will forgive you.
[Then he turned further and stepped back from Orchid, breaking her loose hold on his arm so they could face each other. He glanced up at her and then down. Despite her agreeing to this, he wasn't sure if she'd resist his advance or not. Even when wanting to change back, the only time she'd allowed them to do so without fighting him previously, was when she thought he was at risk of being killed by Changheng and that other man from Shuiyuntian. And even then, she had been the one to initiate.
Given those facts, he decided lift his chin, look back up at her in expectation, and wait. She couldn't say he attempted to force anything or fight him if she was the one who initiated the kiss, right? Right.]
