The Imprisoned Dragon - Blade, Dan Heng IL

12. You did Great

Dan Heng was literally laying on the bed under the bedsheets, finally enjoying something more comfortable than a tent or the ground itself.

This could have given the idea or the picture of the Immortal finally having a moment to relax after all that chaos that happened to him between people aiming at him and a long lost friend, who didn't look friendly at all but made some scars open again.

Well, Dan Heng in that moment was keeping his eyes closed but his lips were twitching out of frustration as, even though his eyes were closed trying to rest, Blade's stare wasn't giving him any reassurance to actually fall asleep.

"If you keep holding the blankets like you're about to rip them off, you won't fall asleep" Blade said as he crossed his arms and laid his back against the wall.

"You're not giving me an easy time to fall asleep either" Dan Heng held his bedsheets till hiding his nose. His eyes opened and stared at the swordman, who raised his eyebrow "Why did you get only one room?"

"Well, I didn't know you had the Great Mage chasing you, I am sorry oh immortal dragon" Blade smiled evilly to then fake a bow, making Dan Heng pout as he was feeling like the swordman was joking with him "But I did calculate you would have been welcomed in the academy"

"Umi was my best friend" Dan Heng sighed as his blue eyes were looking at a non exact point

"He was a pretty close one I bet" Dan Heng looked at Blade, who commented without even looking at the dragon. The swordman was still in his usual clothes and his sword was resting on the sidebelt

"Could you refrain yourself from commenting in this way?" Dan Heng sighed as he saw Blade shrugging "Well, I am sorry we ended up like this again" he mumbled as his tail was moving a little out the blanket.

"Seriously..." Blade sighed heavily "You should stop saying you're sorry" his red eyes looked at him, who tilted his head "And whatever is happening, it's not your fault" he smiled "Actually yes" Dan Heng did pout and the swordman laughed a little "But the outcome of today was because I did decide to come back to check on you, do you see me regretting my choice?" he asked as Dan Heng was looking at Blade, who was actually talking in a calm way

"Were you worried about me getting hurt?" Dan Heng smiled and Blade felt like someone actually shoot an arrow straight to his knee.

"I came back, because..." Blade sighed as he moved his hands onto his long hair "I told you, I did recognise their clothes and I thought you were getting in danger and that... friend of yours.."

"He was just caressing my face" Dan Heng tilted his head and Blade felt even mad

"Was the food poisoned? You're speaking non-sense" Blade's eyes were glowing almost in that dark room as there were few candles lightning it up along with the moon rays coming from the window "That man was alluring you, and Gods know what would have happened if I didn't get there in time"

Dan Heng looked grumpy "You sound like I can't protect myself"

Blade raised his eyebrow "....Of course?"

"What do you mean of course?!" Dan Heng stand on the bed and crossed his arms "I am the Imbibitor Lunae"

"Oh there he goes" Blade laughed as he walked near the bed the dragon was "Indeed the Imbibitor Lunae, the immortal who can command water and life in this world... and let everyone take advantage on him without even flinch"

Dan Heng tilted his head and Blade seriously couldn't really stand how the immortal looked like he was speaking in another language "Why do you sound so annoyed?"

"Because I can't stand the fact you look like you do not get what humans around you want... They always take from you and Umi isn't anything different... And you look like you don't mind... Ah, this makes me seriously insane"
