[Aeons. This is SUCH A MESS.]
Understood.
[And shortly after that message, he knocks at Dan Heng's door! He's got scrapes and developing bruises on his shoulders and hands (mostly to the left), and a little bit on his face, but no serious injuries.]

[He creaks the door open exactly as far as he needs to to slip in -- despite his physical condition being fine enough, he's visibly shaken. Badly so. Jing Yuan, legendary general, is both devastated and frightened.]
Why are you sitting in the dark, Dan Heng?

[He DOES flip on the light! And then immediately makes a fussy face.]
Oh-- Look at your face! You should have Miss Bailu examine that!

[mmggh. He has a point...]
I suppose.
[That is also why Jing Yuan hasn't asked her to take care of HIS bruises...
Ah, well. He's just going to come over and sit just outside of Dan Heng's personal space.]
I'm glad you're relatively alright.

[lllets him do that, while carefully not reacting to it]
Yes, it was a rather minor argument in the end.
[It was not. He's holding himself together with sheer stubbornness.]
How strange, that they can even take people from different timelines.

Mmm... No one was seriously hurt, and I was able to make him understand I'm not the Jing Yuan he knows. It went as well as I could hope, I think.
He ran away.
[He forces himself to laugh about it. Gotta keep his chin up and all.]
Which is, of course, preferable to the alternative. Did he tell you about his reality?

I'm sorry it went badly for you.
[He considers a moment, then veeery cautiously slides that last little bit over til they're shoulder-to-shoulder. At least, as long as Dan Heng doesn't spook. If he does, Jing Yuan will move the other way.]
...I'm afraid we may both have to be wary of him. He's as fixated on his "Jing Yuan" as that other person is on you.

[Oh good. He wanted to lean too, and now it's legalized. We can huddle here being unhappy together, then!]
That person--
[...Maybe for Dan Heng's sake he should try to not be such a butt...]
...Blade. He was instigating an argument with me as well. Between the two of them we're going to be under a great deal of pressure.

If we're lucky, maybe we can turn them on eachother...
