"Have you seen my teammates? I gotta fit in with the team..."
He shrugged, tail waving weakly.
"It was a bloodbath. I would rather people not have seen... but I don't know why. I just... felt angry, then suddenly something was telling me to tear it all apart... and I guess I gave in?"
"There's no point being all formal when I don't belong to the Luofu anymore," He shrugged, slowly sitting up.
"And I'm aware. I remember what I did... I owe Silver Wolf a good few favours.. and Sunday so many puddings..."
"Thanks..." He sighed dramatically, tail weakly thumping on the floor.
"The bruising will last a couple days... but he had to knock my ass out somehow."
Hopefully before another incident. Waking up to bruised ribs and the taste of blood in his mouth was... not the best time, not really.
"Yeah... At least I know you can handle it..." He murmured. Not that it gave him much comfort, knowing Blade still felt everything.
"Yeah..." He sighed softly. He'd overheard whispers, some people saying it was a monster, an imagenae that become too vicious. Maybe for the sake of avoiding a legal disaster that would ruin the Express' standing, he would allow people to encourage that...
He would be determined to figure it out.
all is fair in love and warοΌ and this is a bit of both.
Dan Feng was trapped in the bullshit of being a proper High Elder though-
He was wheezing weakly as he finally managed to get himself calmed enough to breathe.
"Ugh..."
He's only like 30-ish, he's practically a baby compared to all of those years DF was alive.
Dan Heng coughed weakly, grunting in pain from his bruised ribs. Damnit. He was not happy about being forced to show weakness in front of the old lizard.
He flops onto the shore like a sopping wet cat.
Then flops onto the ground like a starfish.
He was just floating in place, brow furrowed as he contemplated everything.
"I hope it blows over soon.."
He really wanted to know. But he was also scared to fully figure it out... though he supposed he could try and consult an expert in long life subjects, see if they knew anything he'd somehow missed about the Vidyadhara.
"We have, indeed... but that was before we finally started to turn a new page."
"I see..." He nodded, brow furrowed. It felt weird, to have people doing that for him. But keeping out of being imprisoned would be good. "I assume you were out here looking for anything too? I've only found what I did, but not any causative incidents... but it's so weird, I'm not... like that."
He was mad at the old lizard, but please do.
Sinking, sinking... he's just gonna let himself be washed away if he's not careful.
Coughing up blood because he overdid it with the magic despite being weakened and injured.
The waters give one final vicious surge before calming.
Dizzy lizard.
He should not be using his power when he's still recovering from injury but oops.
Whirlpool be upon ye.
If the river is experiencing unusual whirlpools and waves, don't look at him.
He didn't like the idea of attacking Blade out of nothing but sheer bloodlust.
Dan Heng was just glad he was okay, and that he had been returned to the Express instead of getting himself locked away again.
"It feels uncomfortable to not have my features showing... but... I have to, for now."
Dan Heng had been aware that he only had the bruises on his face and ribs. Blade had been holding back despite the chaos, despite having a furious and deadly beast ready to tear him to shreds.
"You held back on me. That... I should be grateful, but you let yourself be torn up a bit as a result."
"I think I actually killed at least one or two actual people last night... more than just monsters..."
That part was hard to stomach, even if he knew it hadn't really been him in control. He still did it. His claws and fangs had been stained with blood.
Gods, he wished he had known why.
Drugging is illegal too...
Don't-
He will drown you both-
Legally I'm already in trouble with the law for the murders last night.
Man...
Old people...
Enjoy being perceived... π§
This is Planarcadia you fool. People never sleep here!
In public?!
Get a love hotel, damn. π’
"Maybe... but even then, I wasn't angry until I was alone..."
They will be sogged. He is not moving from this river. His domain.
"My rib and face hurt a little, but Sunday took me to an actual medical professional. So I have treatment."
Chat, how to get rid of two old men without murder?
At this point he is just trying to get some gd peace from these old men.
He's had a terrible few days.
