He tenses while the knife is in Dan Feng's hand, ready to flee. But then he flips it, and Jing Yuan takes it with a sigh of relief. Good. No violence just yet.]
[dan feng stops himself from saying bleeding heart, and sighs instead, unfolding himself from his sitting position and leaning on his side with a wince, propping up his head on a hand.]
Anyway. Do not fault little Aphelios for the- meal. He was very shy about it. I heard he spent the night at Sloth?
[there's a long silence, where dan feng contemplates how much of an insult it would be to say 'i can have someone else get it', but he knows jing yuan knows dan feng's lost this particular battle.]
You know I do not mind helping you into or out of anything. [he cants his head slightly in jing yuan's direction.] But there is no rush.
[dan feng wishes he could say the same. he is, of course, happy to share the same cubic standard units of air with jing yuan, but he doesn't quite remember how to have conversations with him that weren't emotionally or physically fraught with pain.
he's too old to be awkward about it though.]
The last thing I remember before waking up here: I found another animal that reminded me of you. It was called a polar bear cub. Very, [he shapes an imaginary ball... thing... with ears... with his hands.] round.

What do you want me to do with this?
Re: Day 6
[he shrugs, looking way too comfortable for someone who just gave the love of his life carte blanche to give him grievous injury.]
But do give it back when you leave, I like how it handles.
Re: Day 6
[That's understandable -- giving it to Jing Yuan, anyway. Because this one has no reason or desire to use it.]
I'm glad you have it. I'd rather not see you hurt more than necessary.

Re: Day 6
[But still. Look at that mess of a tail.]
Re: Day 6
[there is a lingering but floating in the air there.]
Re: Day 6
[He can FIGURE IT OUT. The math is easy.]
Re: Day 6
not say anything. and not look at jing yuan. actually what if he just pretended to be a sentient bedsheet.]
Re: Day 6
[this man.
sets the knife on the floor and then reaches over and PINCHES DAN FENG'S CHEEKS]
Re: Day 6
Ah-ah-ah! [swatting at jing yuan's hand hello?????] I did not even say anything!
Re: Day 6
Exactly why I am pinching you. Silence will not deter me, Dan Feng!
Re: Day 6
[it's all muffled, on account of the cheek pinching may lan dropkick you jing yuan]
I don't know! Maybe! I've been hungry since I first arrived!
Re: Day 6
Den Feng.
[He lets go of his cheek, at least!]
Hungry for what? Does it have to be a person's flesh, or shall I hunt you something?
Re: Day 6
[he covers his face with one of his sleeves. muffled:]
It is craving alcohol.

Re: Day 6
The odds of finding something like baijiu here are astronomically low, isn't it.
Re: Day 6
[he shrugs, and glances over at the doorway...]
...You'd have to help me with my boots again, though.
