“Your presence is neither wanted nor welcomed. I suggest you leave. You're not invited.”
⠀

⠀
“... I am, as always. Doesn't seem like the same can be said for you, though.”
⠀

⠀
ooc. Hello everyone... I'm back from the dead. I'll try to be more active again, so if anyone wants to interact with my Dan Heng, let me know!!

⠀
“How have you been? Is there anything I can help you with?”
⠀

⠀
“General... It's good to see you again.”
⠀

⠀
His thoughts were interrupted by her sudden invitation to sit beside her. He didn’t understand the purpose of it, but he complied nonetheless, rising from his seat and making his way over to join her.

“I don’t see the point, but here I am.”
⠀

⠀
Dan Heng was someone who valued solitude, always preferring to handle things on his own without distractions. It surprised him how Kafka’s presence didn’t irritate him as much as he had anticipated. (↓)
⠀

⠀
“Fluffy...” Murmuring the word to himself, he unconsciously ran a hand through his hair, as if trying to confirm her observation.

“I guess you're right. I thought it would be harder to deal with you, but it's not so bad having you around.” (↓)
⠀

⠀
“Glad to hear it. There may not be much to do here, but at least it gives you a break from all those scripts of yours.”
⠀

⠀
“...Don’t mention it.”

Compliments weren’t something he was used to, and while his expression remained stoic and composed, her words left a subtle impact. The sudden headpat caught him off guard, prompting him to raise an eyebrow at her. She could be surprisingly kind when she wanted to be. (↓)
⠀

⠀
“The view really is beautiful and peaceful—I often find myself admiring it for hours.”

For someone constantly thrown into dangerous missions, such view could really be refreshing for Kafka. Though he wouldn’t admit it aloud, he was glad she could find a moment of peace aboard the Express. (↓)
⠀

⠀
Given his narcissistic tendencies he noticed from the little time they've spent together, it was no surprise.

“I didn’t have the time to find a better picture of you. If you want me to update it, just send me one, and I’ll make the change.”
⠀

⠀
“I’m sure this equipment is simpler than what you have at your base, and the environment might not compare—but our technology is more than sufficient for our needs.”

The archivist couldn’t help but notice Aventurine’s first choice of data—the page featuring himself. (↓)
⠀

⠀
“Confidential data isn’t easy to access. I’m just showing you basic information we’ve collected during our missions.”

He quickly dismissed any potential concern the blonde might have. He was cautious—he would never reveal anything confidential to someone he wasn’t sure he could trust. (↓)
⠀

⠀
"If the others see you, I'll handle it. You're not here to cause any harm, and if they don’t believe me, I’ll take responsibility for letting you in."

Reaching forward, he picked up a piece of cake, letting the fork sink into the soft layers before taking a bite.

"What’s on your mind?"
⠀

⠀
As she ate the cake, Dan Heng began to reflect on his situation—sharing a peaceful moment with a Stellaron Hunter was definitely unexpected.

"I'm glad you liked it."

His gaze lingered on her, following her eyes as they drifted toward the window. It was clear she had something on her mind. (↓)
⠀

⠀
ooc. All replies are done. Thank you all for the patience. 🙂‍↕️
⠀

⠀
“Take a seat. Don’t you want to get a closer look? It’s probably a little different from the technology you’re used to.”
⠀

⠀
“It’s a very important task. Not as crucial as the Conductor’s or Himeko’s roles, but still significant. That’s why I choose to sleep here, to ensure there’s no hacker attack compromising our data.”

Walking toward the chair in his room, he gestured for Aventurine to sit. (↓)
⠀

⠀
“Indeed. Good for them.”

Accessing some of the public data stored in the databank, Dan Heng displayed a few of the entries to Aventurine—weapons, people, factions. Everything was there. (↓)
⠀

⠀
After about an hour, the cake was ready. Although it was his first attempt, it didn’t look too bad.

“It’s done.” Returning to where she was, he now carried a slice of freshly baked red velvet and chocolate cake and handing it to her. “I hope you like it.”
⠀

⠀
She could have her little fantasies if it meant avoiding a headache. “Alright. Just try not to draw too much attention. I’ll be right back.”

Stepping away from the main hall, he headed to the balcony where they usually prepared food and began baking the cake. (↓)
⠀

⠀
“Sure.”

After finally finding the recipe for her desired cake, he took note of all the ingredients so he could start baking it soon.

“...Best friend?” The word definitely caught his attention, but he decided not to question it too much. (↓)
