    Summary

    "If you keep me here much longer," Veritas Ratio says with as much dignity as he can muster, "my knees will begin to cramp."

    "Oh?" Aventurine grins with the barest hint of teeth, every inch the cat laying eyes on a canary. "Do you have someplace else to be, doc?"

     

    Aventurine strings Ratio along, Ratio follows his lead, and both of them benefit in the end.

    Summary

    Yingxing laughed. “If I always pushed you hard, you’d break.”

    “I won’t.” Dan Heng insisted. He picked his head up a little out of Yingxing’s hand to look him in the eyes. “I won’t break. You can be rough.”

    Summary

    Dan Heng kneels in front of him. There’s a hint of worry in his eyes as he starts peeling off the bandages, revealing what Blade does not want to be seen. Beneath the stained dressing, marred skin and bruises and wounds from early battles tell a story of wartimes. Blade can only tell when and how he got the newest ones; the oldest, though, have been a part of him for too long already. A blade can be repaired, but it can never return to its original state; it will always become a new sword, a new spear, one born from another weapon that had fought for too long.

    Blade doesn’t look at his own skin. Instead, he watches Dan Heng’s reaction. The other man carefully looks at Blade’s torso, his face twisting at times, but never daring to raise his eyes. Some of these scars, Blade remembers, were made by him. He has imprinted himself onto Blade’s body by plunging Cloud Piercer into his heart. That’s why Blade didn’t want him to look at the current state of his skin. Old wounds can still be reopened.

    In which Dan Heng changes Blade’s bandages and Blade relearns how it feels to be touched.

    Summary

    “…what are you asking me to do?” Dan Heng asks carefully.

    Blade shifts slightly. “Some fragments of the Shard Sword were too small for me to remove on my own.”

    Oh.

    …I see.

     

    After the battle, Blade asks Dan Heng for help removing fragments of the Shard Sword.

    Summary

    "Um." Dan Heng's words trailed off as he looked in the hotel room, silence echoing like a loud judge.

    Beside him, Blade stood, a deadpan expression on his face as he pulled the door open and faced the same view Dan Heng did. "Is that what that lady at the reception meant by 'special room'."

    Before them was a vast expanse of beds. Like, quite possibly around ten beds. Dan Heng quickly counted "1,2,3...,9,10". Exactly ten. He didn't even know it was possible for a single room to have that many beds. What on Akivili was even happening.

    There was only one bed!

    ...Wait. What do you mean?

    There was... too many beds?
