Shen Yuan hums in quiet agreement. He's certainly never been one to put himself first or make a scene (his activity levels on certain literature forums notwithstanding).
"For my part I've always been happy to live simply and quietly," he says in a soft voice. "It's the rest of the world that has other ideas."
He gives a small nod of agreement as he drags the brush across the surface of the paper in a graceful sweep, followed by some much shorter and choppier motions.
"The world so often does. Many decide for the futures of others what they would not necessarily choose for themselves."
His gaze turns inward as he works, the motions almost automatic at this point.
"I imagine the world would be a very different place if such things were not foisted upon us."
