[ Jing Yuan nods, content to leave Blade to Dan Heng as he goes to the bathroom with Mimi (who had grown curious about the commotion) trailing at his heel's. the cat watches his master impassively as the General quickly gets a bath running and fetches a couple of towels from their storage space.

with the bath drawn Jing Yuan intended to go back and help Dan Heng move Blade to the bathroom, only that plan goes up in utter smoke the moment he pokes his head out the bathroom door.

oh. ]

I would stop arguing if I were you, Yingxing. You know he isn't going to listen.

[ get cared for idiot. ]

[Don't worry, Jing Yuan, you'll be princess carried in the near future by your dragon wife, too.

Dan Heng glances down imperially at Blade for a brief moment.]

Funny, I seem to recall you liking when I carried you like this in the past. ... You weigh practically nothing. Have you been eating lately?

[He's been trying to make sure Blade eats three square meals a day, and he's pretty sure he's succeeded more often than he's failed. Maybe he's remembering incorrectly, though. Anyway, Dan Heng carries their favorite blacksmith to the bathroom and sits him on the edge of the tub, keeping a hand on his shoulder to help steady him. And... then he just starts stripping Blade without so much as a by-your-leave. Yue stands outside the door dutifully with the first aid kit.]

I suppose we should pamper our princess, even if he did get himself hurt. A-Yuan, you can take his back and I'll tackle his hair when you're done. I can see blood matted it in places.

[And then he gives them both a warning look.]

If you splash each other, I'm going to dump cold water on both of you and damn my contract price.

[unreachableside]

[He covers his face with an arm.]

I don't not like it, I just hate troubling you. ... Though you're hardly struggling at all.

I've been eating... as far as I can remember. [It's been a long day, okay.

Aside from staying upright, he doesn't struggle or really even fight the forced stripping. Even Blade realizes how disgusting he is when his tight shirt has to be peeled off his skin.]

I'm too sleepy for that.

[He bows his head.]

... Get my revenge later.

[ without being told Jing Yuan is quick to help Dan Heng in the removal of clothing, tossing them to a corner to be dealt with after their own has been cleaned and dried. he only pauses when his partner gives them both a warning look and smiles a light laugh bubbling past his lips. ]

Now, now, there is no need for that.

[ only because it is clear Blade hasn't the energy for it, were the other man less tired he would happily throw caution to the wind and invite the dragon's wrath.

with another quiet laugh he helps lower Blade into the water, positioning himself in such a way as to be easily leaned on should it be needed. he is sure to get his own clothes soaked, but that is a price he is willing to pay in order to pamper their princess, as Dan Heng put it. ]

I am sure you will, gege.

[heng_like_a_dragon]

I had no trouble with it before. I don't have trouble with it now. And I highly doubt I'll have trouble with it in the future.

[Sometimes Blade deserves to be treated like a princess, which includes carrying him like one. Still, Dan Heng hums thoughtfully at that. He really does feel like he could even lift Jing Yuan at the same time with little effort. Though, the Vidyadhara isn't sure how he feels about the mental image of having one sitting on each shoulder.]

Whatever you say, baobei. Close your eyes, I'm about to dump water on your head.

[Given how thick Blade's hair is, he decides to use Cloudhymn to pour the warm bathwater over the blacksmith's head. Dan Heng manipulates it in such a way that it doesn't even splash onto Jing Yuan. His facial expression doesn't change when he sees that the water comes away a gross color after that.]

Hm... I'm going to need to shampoo it twice. Let me know if it hurts.

[He grabs the bottle of shampoo, considers, and then just directly puts some onto Blade's head. Setting the bottle aside, Dan Heng gently starts to scrub at the craftsman's hair and scalp, but the bubbles definitely look grimy already.]

[unreachableside]

A-Yuan, you... [He scrunches up his nose, knowing he's bright red, and looks away sharply. He's so flustered he even used the other form. Fffff.]

... If that ever changes, tell me.

[Since he's out of danger and relatively comfortable with his partners, Blade doesn't really resist. He follows the instructions given to him dutifully, though there's no denying the way his ears turn fluffy and pin against his hair... Even like this, his tail is still wagging, and he's blushing, a funny sight compared to the nasty water.

He breathes in deeply as Dan Heng starts in on the shampooing. The way his head starts to droop indicates he's more tired than he's letting on, and he might just fall asleep mid-bath.]
