[He glances back at the window.]
It's just that... most people would probably find it strange. Not that it stopped me.
no subject
[Everyone likes a feral, goth badboy. Apparently. That's what pop culture has taught people.]
... You're obviously a craftsman of considerable skill. Even if it had been leather gloves instead of a sword, I would've been flattered that you took the time and effort to create something specifically for me.
[He pauses.]
Though, perhaps it would've been less... concerning if you had shown up with a kitchen knife set. At least then it could've been put into a more inconspicuous box. However... hm. It feels more like you're being genuinely yourself by giving me something like an enchanted weapon.
[Which is to say that he's still grateful and that he'll simply have to be more prepared next time he's gifted a weapon by Blade.]

[HE LIKES A CHALLENGE]
... Ah. [Well, it's not like he's... embarrassed by that or anything.] I felt I needed to make something, and inspiration can come from anywhere...
[Casually admitting Dan Heng is kind of his muse? Oops.]
... I could still make you a knife set. If you wanted.
no subject
[Yes, he's calling Blade out. The man deserves it almost always.
... Yeah, that sure is a confession of being Blade's muse. Somehow. Only now is it dawning on Dan Heng just how bad Blade seems to have it for him. He's not sure what to do with that information, so he just keeps it in the back of his mind for now.]
I suppose you're right. [...] Whatever you make for me, I will keep and treasure.
[He's weak to that sad, dejected dog look that Blade can now pull off because of those damn ears. Dan Heng will make only one exception for that look working on him, and that exception is apparently an unhinged blacksmith with a demon problem. He's blaming Dan Feng definitively for everything.]
no subject
[He didn't survive a horrible accident just to be bored until the demon takes his life.]
You don't have to keep something if it's not good. [Said like a guy who just Makes Things and throws them away all the time.] I won't be upset.
Like I told you before, I can't slow down for anything. At my skill level, failure is just an indication that I need more experience. In time I'll be able to tell if something is worth the energy or not, but I'm still learning my way around magical materials, not to mention different types of magic enchantments.
no subject
The way you say that makes it sound like this gift means nothing and that I should treat it as such. However, I know for a fact that you made this with me in mind, and you put forth all of your current effort for that purpose.
[He gives Blade a Look.]
Many people could make this exact weapon, but none of them would be able to make it like you could. That is what makes it special as a gift.
no subject
[Is that the reaction you wanted, Dan Heng? Because Blade smushes himself against the door and looks extremely offended, his ears pinned all the way back, not unlike a cat who has just been sprayed with water.]
Yes, but—
[...
He is not winning this one, he can just tell. He sighs after a moment and gives up.]
... Anyway, I've only been here once or twice since I moved, so I don't know where everything is.
no subject
Good. Neither do I.
[He just happens to know generally how the store will be laid out. It'll be a fun, domestic adventure. Or something.
Dan Heng gets out of the car and will head into the grocery store with Blade. This is still Not A Date. Totally.]
