[He is going to spam this about 9 times]

Re: Day 14 12nn

[goldenjoined]

[he ignores the first several times

and the ones after that

and then calls dan feng.]

Re: Day 14 12nn

[eggshell]

Um. [There's a long, awkward pause.] Hello.

Re: Day 14 12nn

[goldenjoined]

I'm not good at texting.

Re: Day 14 12nn

[eggshell]

Why?

Re: Day 14 12nn

[goldenjoined]

My hand.

Re: Day 14 12nn

[eggshell]

I could look at it, you know. I am still a healer.

Day 15, ass o'clock in the morning

[skypiercing]

[Sorry to add to the texting Blade but he isn't feeling like Words.]

I messed up. If you could check in on Jing Yuan sometime soon, I would appreciate it.

[That. Says absolutely nothing but is probably worrying? He's currently curled into a ball somewhere nursing his pride and recovering from bloodloss.]

[goldenjoined]

[looks at this.

looks at it some more.

shoots jing yuan a text (slowly) and then starts looking for dan heng.]

[Wow thanks buddy. He didn't need (or want) you to tattle???

But Blade being who he is will probably find him if he looks. Dan Heng is a creature of habit when he's feeling the lowest, and while there is no Archives here, there is the library. He makes a rather pathetic sight: curled up on the floor in one of his study nooks with a blanket, a container of untouched food and what seems to be an entire gallon jug of water. He looks a little pale in his human guise once more, but most all of the physical damage has been healed aside from a lingering numbness in his arm.

Is he allowed to eat in the library? Probably not. But blood loss is extenuating circumstances.]

[goldenjoined]

[better tell him directly not to tattle next time, scrub.

Blade finds him, of course. and just kind of quietly looms in the entry to his hideout.]

Re: Day 15, ass o'clock in the morning

[skypiercing]

[Jerk.

But Blade will be allowed to loom for a few seconds before there's a quiet sigh from Dan Heng's huddled figure, head raising from where he'd pillowed it atop his arm and knee.]

Didn't I tell you to look in on Jing Yuan?

[His voice is tired, his pallor still pale, and there's just the tiniest hint of irritation and surprisingly, shame about him.]

Re: Day 15, ass o'clock in the morning

[goldenjoined]

I'm not your subordinate.

[flatly, crowding his way into the nook to look Dan Heng over closely.]

[skypiercing]

[Things Blade will notice: the faintest scent of blood lingering about Dan Heng, even though he seems perfectly fine aside from the pallor and the tight grip on his own arm.]

It was not an order. It was a favor. Do not try to tell me you do not care about him.

[He isn't in the mood for lies.]

day 15 early morning

[eggshell]

call me when you get this

Re: day 15 early morning

[goldenjoined]

[


calls,]

Re: day 15 early morning

[eggshell]

[Answers immediately!]

I need you to keep an eye on both Jing Yuan and Dan Heng. They fought.

Re: day 15 early morning

[goldenjoined]

I'm not your lackey.

[hangs up]

Day 17

[lionsleeps]

If I was to obtain an item that could temporarily suppress your condition, would you let me use it on you?

Re: Day 17

[goldenjoined]

[looks at the text

thinks

kind of stalls out

thinks

it's like. 12 minutes later when Jing Yuan's phone rings.]

Re: Day 17

[lionsleeps]

[That's a reasonable amount of time, given the topic. Jing Yuan answers with a chipper tone, not betraying his nerves.]

Hello! Has my offer excited you?

Re: Day 17

[goldenjoined]

All of it?

Re: Day 17

[lionsleeps]

All of it. But only for an hour or two at a time, and only if I stay in physical contact.

Re: Day 17

[goldenjoined]

...

Why?

Re: Day 17

[lionsleeps]

Because I want to spend time with you without either of us needing to worry about setting you off. Him too.
