[He may be blind but he's got a strong enough sense of his immediate surroundings to find a part of both of them to pinch.]
Honestly, you two.
[He's still amused, but he supposed he may as well be the grownup here...]
Dan Feng, we are neither married nor lovers of any kind. Sharing a bed is no different than sharing a bunk on the field, you know. And you shouldn't complain, given I moved into Dan Heng's room because you were prowling outside my window.
And as for Dan Heng, you are very much marriageable! If you continue to put yourself down I shall force you to stand in the middle of the green and recite your virtues five hundred times.
[jing yuan catches him by the arm, and it startles dan feng enough that off-balances and just barely misses crushing dan heng with his weight. he favors jing yuan with an annoyed look that yingxing is the usual recipient of.]
Oh. [uhhhh. scooting to the very edge of the bed.] I apologize for any skulking. [his tail does poke dan heng’s, unsure.]
Dan Heng. Objectively you are a man with attractive qualities, even if you have the most annoying tendency to ignore your own well-being. [sorry he is bad at this.] Cease your self-flagellation.
[he huffs at dan heng, and then proceeds to manhandle dan heng’s tail so he can twine his own with it. jing yuan gets polite dan feng. you get overbearing predecessor dan feng.]
I have been quite well-behaved, thank you. The past few hours, at least. [a pause.] May I touch your face, Jing Yuan?
[stubbornly, like he didn't also let dan feng work himself up for a bit. his ears burn, with the TAIL TWINING, but he doesn't struggle, as he is far too busy doing emotional and instinctive calculus about that particular gesture.]
[dan feng gently cradles jing yuan’s jaw, holding him in place, as he looks the injuries over. the urge to kiss the crown of jing yuan’s head is all-consuming for the five seconds he spends just staring jing yuan in his sightless eyes, and he sighs, before giving in and doing it anyway.
jing yuan’s hair is too fluffy to know if he feels it or not, and it’s not like dan feng has experience to draw from… he’d seen baiheng do it a lot. she does it to him too, to his consternation.
his face is very red when he draws back.]
I am sorry that you both experienced such adversity.
[Between Dan Feng & Bladex2 there are so many injuries... But he's taking it in stride. Mostly.
He can feel Dan Feng lean in, and sorta feel the headkiss, but it takes a couple of seconds for him to register what it was.
He tilts his head, in genuine curiosity instead of the usual mean girl attitude, and... touches his own head... It's a very "???????" gesture, and now all three of then are flushed.]
[dan feng gives dan heng a supremely bitchy look, which he is very good at. and dan heng is probably very good at it too, but screw you. he yanks at dan heng’s tail for good measure.]
… nothing. [he lets go of jing yuan’s face, feeling awkward.] Anyway.
[squawks?! if dan feng was hoping for subtlety, he should have considered dan heng is not used to having a physical tail (a detail he may not even know)!]
[dan feng can’t help it: he growls, in a way he’d only done as a, yes, difficult child - when he was too young to be taught etiquette, and he wanted to be paid attention to, to be played with.
he tugs at dan heng’s tail again. abandons all propriety to crawl over jing yuan’s legs - their tails wound together now within touching distance - and swipes at dan heng’s fluffy head.]
[Jing Yuan sits placidly while they climb around him. This feels exactly like having kittens...
He can't help but laugh. He'll provide stories, but whether they're true or not (and whether they remain the same across timelines) only Dan Feng can say.]
You haven't? Well then... I heard when he was small he once stood up in the middle of a lecture from a particularly boring tutor and declared he would no longer endure such torment. Then he climbed a tree and refused to come down until the preceptors provided a "tutor worthy of the High Elder's attention."
[dan feng manages to reach a pitch previously unknown to man, and abandons his pursuit of dan heng to sit at jing yuan’s side and to (gently) cover his mouth.]

I didn't realise it was my turn 😭
[His face is still hurty... He's scooting up close to them both though. Dragons for lion plz.]

then, in a dubious tone:]
He pulled my tail.
[JING YUAN IS THAT FLIRTING? HE NEEDS TO KNOW?]
no subject
As we established, it is a handsome face. Flirting would be a reasonable decision, and rough-housing is a fun way to do it.

[yeah that tail tho… still twined and everything… yeah…]
