[Dan Heng takes this time to calm himself again. His bristling earlier might not have been entirely fair. He's not sure. Still, he did toe a line and he needs to watch his words. Not for the first time, Dan Heng wishes Theo was still here to ask him for advice. But Theo's not here. He's on his own, now.
He shies away from those thoughts when he feels that sharp stab of grief and loneliness. For a dark moment, Dan Heng thinks he prefers the pain of the knife that went through him years ago than this emotional pain.
When Blade speaks up, he tilts his head slightly in a silent indication that he's listening. For a moment, the shorter man closes his eyes. They're both a depressing mess, aren't they? When Dan Heng opens his eyes, he looks to Blade.]
And yet here I am, offering to start over.
[He gives a slight, one-shoulder shrug.]
I'm willing to do so. We got along well enough in Kanto despite how our first meeting went, did we not?
