I know.
[or so he says, anyway. He sliides off of Dan Heng, giving up on crushing him in favour of just hugging him very tight.]
I do not like having fragile places in my mind.

Mm. For so long I was at peace with my fate, and yet...
[And yet now he actually has things he's looking forward to. His life is no longer dull nor lonely, and the stagnant feeling that had weighed him down and smothered him has lifted. Local violence aside, he's happy, and that makes him vulnerable -- because now that there's the possibility of a future he actually wants, he's afraid to lose it. Every crack in his emotional armor lets the light shine on his greyed-out world a little more, and at the same time makes it easier for madness to potentially trickle in behind it. And that's leaving aside the plain and simple danger of not thinking clearly enough to protect the people he loves from unnecessary harm.]

[Why is he like this. Why is he so cute. Dan Feng smiles against his mouth, kissing him languidly, relaxed.]
I want to eat you. [That's romantic right. He picks out the cup from Dan Heng's hands and places both of theirs on the table as he presses their cheeks together.]

You are not fun.
[He doesn't sound too put out as he laces their fingers together; he'd be mortified by the display of affection if they weren't alone. He lifts their joined hands to kiss Dan Heng's knuckles.]
Can you get one of the iced teas? I'm curious.

That just means you have to be with me all the time.
[tbh that is a very appealing notion. Just have Dan Heng as shouldercat. Dan Fen stares a little too long at the side of Dan Heng's head before taking the bottle.]
If I broke your legs...... [He opens it, one handed, swirling it.]

Oh.
[There is an ominous silence where Dan Feng contemplates how Dan Heng threatening to break his horn makes him feel Some Kind Of Way. Why is it when Dan Heng threatens bodily harm some part of Dan Feng just sort of sits up just to fall over?
He takes a swig of the tea because Dan Heng can Definitely Tell he's being weird. It tastes like peaches and cream, exactly, with a hint of mint.]
You would not like Penacony, actually. It's too crowded.

[Passing him the bottle back!! Finish it!! ]
Yes, I heard they've been scattered. [Thinking emoji...!] You should tease him about it. He was a very joyous hatchling. A fluffy chick. Jingliu's words, not mine. Even when he grew up and became much more of a terror.

That's sweet of you, but the wise thing to do would have been to keep my feelings to myself in the first place...
That was--
[Mmmph. He's just arguing because he's scared and he knows it, so he cuts himself off before he can say something hurtful and tucks his face back into Dan Heng's chest. Don't perceive him he's a mess. A mess who feels quite warm, when Dan Heng says nice things like that.]
