[Dan Heng listens as the other man gives his perspective on it. He can't deny that Blade's right. He remembers how his past life felt uncertain after being exiled. Although free, the past kept wanting to chain him down and drag him back into a darkness that threatened to destroy him in a never-ending cycle of rebirth and suffering. A silent, promised threat that his Preceptors had made to Dan Feng hidden from the public eye. A threat that he vaguely remembers Jingliu alluding to when she heard about Dan Feng's horns being spirited away.]

I'm glad I could do so. I couldn't in my last life, but... I feel like I've made that right in this one.

[He's quiet for a few moments before kissing Blade's cheek.]

Do you think you can get cleaned up on your own? I can stay to help if you need it.
