[Dan Feng draws himself up, chin tilted in defiance - or at least tries to, because it's pretty hard to look intimidating when not more than ten minutes ago he'd been curled up like an anemic shrimp.]
I dare. [ vastella is taller and bulkier, so dan feng ( healed though he is ) still looks like a little shrimp baby. ] You can do nothing to intimidate me, Dan Feng. And if you don't change your tune then I won't warm you.
Hands burned and the other's half bit out, ribs are broke but I healed em myself enough t'move around and breathe easy. I got plenty of bites, bruises and slashes because wrestling with Dan Feng's like snuggling a blender.
[ their hands start glowing again as they set them on his shoulders. he'll feel a warmth spread throughout him as his chest burns just a little. it doesn't hurt, but he'll feel any pain in his chest start to fade as his bones are healed. the warmth spreads to his chest as the healing takes care of his burns. they don't really focus on any minor cuts, bites, and bruises, but if they're in the way... then they'll be taken care of. ] Let him wrestle with a pillow.
[Intellectually Dan Feng understands that he's supposed to be jealous - Jing Yuan as his point of comparison, who he is capable of getting jealous over with literally anything (Dan Heng included) - but just seeing them being affectionate like that makes him feel oddly warm. He doesn't mind watching. Maybe he likes to watch. This is all very confusing.
He waits for them to come back with a vaguely appreciative look on his face that he will deny he has on.]
I did want to ask how you two- [Pause. Opens mouth. Malfunctions. Turns red.] - Ah. Spend time together, given your difference in stature.
[ it IS novel and it's really nice, actually. So she does take advantage of that while she can, her cheeks red when they part and burying her face in his neck to hide a little as Sett brings her back to bed.
She looks up when Dan Feng speaks, ears perked, but her blush no less intense. ]
Jing Yuan and Dan Heng were also... introduced to his hospitality.
[He goes to sit down next to her, then, their knees touching each other as he reaches out to draw her hair over her uninjured shoulder. The spell she'd cast lifts some of his pallor, gradually, and he cants his head to the side.]
You already know the answer to that. Better me than someone else at the time. I don't mind.
