[ he knows deep inside himself that there was very little Dan Heng would not do for those he cares about, but there is something different about hearing it from the Vidyadhara's own mouth. there is assurance in his words that washes over the Arbiter-General like wave of cool water, soothing festering fears. ]

I would never allow it.

[ Jing Yuan's leans into Dan Heng's touch. he expression only hardening as the other man describes his awakening. a storm starts to flicker in those golden eyes for a brief moment, only to fizzle as quickly as it began. ]

I know. Even if I had been at fault you would not have blamed me. [ it will take a long time for Jing Yuan not to blame himself in some capacity, but he is trying. one day he will accept that his inability to act is not cause for blame. ] You would have taken all the fault on yourself to spare those you love.

[He gives Jing Yuan a small, warm smile at that.]

Then there is nothing to fear.

[Dan Heng sees the storm that flickers within his golden eyes and feels Vritra's discontent. His passenger doesn't like Jing Yuan and his Lightning Lord. The dragon gets the sense that eventually that dislike will cause friction or turn to hatred, but there's nothing he can do about that. Indra had left his mark.

But he puts that aside in favor of giving his full attention to Jing Yuan and their conversation.]

...A fatal flaw of mine that seems to span lifetimes. [He bumps his nose gently against Jing Yuan's in a "bunny" kiss.] I'd been lonely for many, many lives, but then the High-Cloud Quintet changed that forever. I can't help seeing you as priceless treasures to protect.

[His love runs deep. Whether it's friendship or romance.]

[ it would be funny if Jing Yuan knew, knowing that his Lightning Lord cares little for the passenger responsible for bringing Dan Heng back to them. many times has his possessor's gaze settled on Vritra without being marked for a Hunt, each time bringing nothing but relief to Jing Yuan's heart. the last thing he wants is to raise his blade at him and strike him down, for the being possessing his partner to become as dangerous as that demon that had it's claws into Blade.

but he refuses to entertain that line of thinking, focusing entirely on the man in his arms. ]

We all share that flaw I fear. [ he smiles widely, bumping Dan Heng's noise back. ] You are just as precious a treasure, àirén. One that changed the trajectory of our lives just as much as we changed yours.
