[He doesn't mind. He just holds Blade and comforts him as best as he can, especially through the tears. His partner's sobs send a crack in Dan Heng's heart each time, but he endures and murmurs soft words to him in English and Cantonese. The dragon buries kisses in his hair, and silently encourages him to let it out. Dan Heng knows from experience... emotions like this are like a poison that needs to be expelled before healing can happen.
Dan Heng keeps holding onto his boyfriend when the doctor comes in. He knows that his partner isn't in the head space for this discussion, so he asks his questions on Blade's behalf. He's attentive to her instructions on home care, what Blade is allowed to do and for how long, how long Blade will need to rest and a projected timeline of when he can do regular activities again. He also asks about medication and expected side effects, and what signs to look for that will require a return visit to the hospital.
Finally, he runs out of questions and the doctor tells them that they can leave as soon as Blade is ready. Once she leaves them alone, Dan Heng looks down at his boyfriend. He brushes the hair out of his eyes.]
