    Summary

    Silver Wolf has installed the "Blade Tracker" chat plug-in for you!

    Dan Heng's eyebrows furrow as he reads the system message. Had he not been close with Blade, he would've been alarmed at a Stellaron Hunter hacking his phone. But more importantly… Blade Tracker? Does it… what, track Blade's location?

    Dan Heng misses Blade (ch1), followed by a short series of text messages between them (ch2).

    Summary

    Dan Heng kneels in front of him. There’s a hint of worry in his eyes as he starts peeling off the bandages, revealing what Blade does not want to be seen. Beneath the stained dressing, marred skin and bruises and wounds from early battles tell a story of wartimes. Blade can only tell when and how he got the newest ones; the oldest, though, have been a part of him for too long already. A blade can be repaired, but it can never return to its original state; it will always become a new sword, a new spear, one born from another weapon that had fought for too long.

    Blade doesn’t look at his own skin. Instead, he watches Dan Heng’s reaction. The other man carefully looks at Blade’s torso, his face twisting at times, but never daring to raise his eyes. Some of these scars, Blade remembers, were made by him. He has imprinted himself onto Blade’s body by plunging Cloud Piercer into his heart. That’s why Blade didn’t want him to look at the current state of his skin. Old wounds can still be reopened.

    In which Dan Heng changes Blade’s bandages and Blade relearns how it feels to be touched.

    Summary

    “You chased me around the universe to ensure I paid the price.”

    Blade turns his face away, finding that the fire burning in Dan Heng’s eyes is too much, even for him. A cold gaze, after all, will always burn the brightest.

    “And now,” Dan Heng’s voice trembles, one breath away from anger. “You’re telling me to stay back?”

    --

    Blade feels that there's no need to drag anyone else into his end. Dan Heng disagrees. Contains spoilers for Version 4.3.

    Summary

    "It's funny," he says conversationally, "I barely thought about you while we were apart. I thought of you from time to time, but there were always more urgent matters at hand. I never missed you. But now that I have you"- he finally lets his grip on Blade's hand tighten- "I miss you in a way I can't even begin to explain. I miss an imagined world where I wasn't ignorant enough to know how to move on." He lets his free hand curl lightly over Blade's shoulder, with just the right timing that he'll never know if it's the touch or his words that made Blade flinch again in response. "Do you feel the same? Do you regret letting me get away from you?"

    Blade's response is soft, and not at all gentle. "Of course not. You haunt me."

    In which Dan Heng pokes the proverbial hornets' nest, and finds proverbial hornets.

    Summary

    For a long time- a minute, perhaps, though that ought not to be a long time by either of their standards- Dan Heng does not speak. His gaze searches the horizon. Blade does not know what for. Perhaps, for a Nameless, there is meaning in the searching itself.

    When he finds his words, they are painstakingly direct. Blade turns at the sound of his voice, but Dan Heng remains staring into the distance as he speaks. "I wish… we had learned sooner that we didn't have to be enemies."

    I feel the same, Blade cannot say. "There was never-"

    "I know," Dan Heng says, too quickly. His voice softens again, as if he'd caught himself off-guard, too. "I just wish we had, at the very least, been afforded the opportunity."
