[The corners of Blade's eyes crinkle. He answers without any hesitation this time:] Yes.
[He looks interested as Dan Heng talks about holding his original appearance. He must have looked like he usually does up until his powers manifested, and now this is his 'true' form... It's a reversal of the truth as Blade remembers it (however vaguely), with the same end result.
No wonder he's so sensitive about his appearance. But Blade has tried to make sure to compliment him since then, because as drop dead gorgeous as Imbibitor Lunae is, that isn't who Dan Heng feels comfortable being.
... That and Blade thinks he's beautiful no matter what he's wearing or how long his hair is, but that's beside the point.
The chuckle makes his ears stand right back up. Rather than acknowledge the compliment, he just. Takes another sip of his chai because he is too flustered to string words together.
A breath. A deep one. Okay. He's ready.]
... As you know, at some point, the demon will steal me into the Spirit Realm. Rather than waiting months or years in paranoia, I'm going to lure out my demon and have it killed. Since I have to use myself as bait, it isn't a foolproof plan. But I'm already being monitored closely by the Black Order as it is, and several people want to help, so I feel that my chances are better than they would be otherwise.
