[There's a sharpness to Dan Heng's blue eyes. An intensity of focus centered on Mara and this fight. In stark contrast to how dark and disturbed his opponent is, Dan Heng stands tall, a pillar of calm light in this darkness. Yet that calmness should never be mistaken as passivity.
His movements are swift as the wind and graceful as a willow tree. A hundred lifetimes of honing his skill with the spear has made these moves deeper than muscle memory. They're within his very soul. He doesn't answer Mara's demand of whether he thinks he's a god. This isn't a sincere question, after all.
Neither does he answer the question of if he enjoys this. Dan Heng has the serenity of the moon; beautiful, bright, and distant. Like this, he has control. He will not kill again without the intent to do so from the start.
His eyes narrow as he sees this familiar gesture. It's not complete, not like how it was in their past lives, but it's still similar.]
Hmph, and I'm certain you would never agree to such a thing. One such as you isn't worthy of fighting me as Imbibitor Lunae.
[He even lifts his chin up in pride and derision, looking down on Mara despite being shorter than Yingxing.]
You've never had Yingxing!
[Dan Heng rushes at Mara again like an incoming wave and channels lightning into Cloud-Piercer's blade. The smaller man jabs at his opponent in such quick succession that one would be forgiven for mistaking his spear as a star shower. With thanks to the jade ring Yingxing gave him, he's much stronger at night than he would normally be.]
