If she asked him, he'd simply say a weapon had no need to be anything but. Blade's eyes are trained on her every movement, suspicion laced with a mild apprehension he doesn't quite let surface as he follows her to see what it is she needs him for. ...seeing the dresses, he pauses and grows tense,~

"For a purpose, I assume." It's more of a statement than a question, giving it a moment before he sighs and pushes off the wall, hands falling to his sides as he regards her in expectant silence. "If you need me for something, then speak. Idle chatter isn't something I particularly enjoy..."

Imperceptible as it were, Blade's tension was quick to reach his eyes when he heard that damned nickname. If it were anyone but her, he'd answer with his sword... "....what is it, Kafka...?"

He looked the part of a feral, stray cat being offered a meal for the first time in months; suspicious of every move Dan Heng made, unwilling to let the younger out of his sight even when he reached the bowl. Slowly turning his head so he's angled towards the dish, his gaze remained on the guard,~

He's not sure what's irritating him more; the fact that Dan Heng is giving him that knowing look, the fact that he's being lectured or the fact that he's being monitored and reported among the Nameless. Either way, he's more uncomfortable now than he was earlier. As much as he wants to simply~

He continues to stare him down, unwilling to budge. The comment on the dish itself and its apparent inedible state to anyone else does make his gaze drift to the bowl, eyes narrowing in a mix of suspicion and curiosity now. "...a mistake on your part then." He gruffs. "...why are you forcing this~

The threat makes Blade's body go rigid, his head snapping sharply to face Dan Heng with a scowl, a frustrated growl rolling up his throat. It's bad enough that he's in this situation to begin with, but to be so casually reminded that he has no freedom here by HIM of all people? It's infuriating.~

"How unfortunate for you..." Blade isn't budging, rooted in place as though he were welded there against the wall, unable to move even if he wanted to (which he did not). "You waste time, resources and energy better spent elsewhere, 𝘋𝘢𝘯 𝘏𝘦𝘯𝘨. I may be trapped on this vessel but my cooperation~

Petulant perhaps, but he feels trapped in this place, cornered like a wounded animal with no way out. He's an enemy in his enemy's territory; how else is he meant to feel? "...I'm not hungry. Why are you here? I don't recall Mr. Yang switching places with anyone this evening." For `guard duty`.

"Then take it to someone else to eat it. I don't want it." Last thing he needs is to feel more indebted to the Express, to HIM of all people. "I've heeded your request and stayed away. What more do you want?"

He squints; first at the food, then at Dan Heng, the grip on his folded arms tightening a fraction. Was that not the point of his earlier request? He's quiet, he's out of the way and he's not causing problems. "...no."

Tensing. "....what's with the look?"

// Will I cave and make accounts for Phainon and Bartholos? Will I continue to pretend my only HSR account does not exist? Who knows.....

|| Hey i know i've not been overly active here (at all) but i just want to bring attention to a vile person whos moved onto this app! @birdwonder.bsky.social went by Zero/Sylveon on twitter and has done a number of horrid things. They've RPed Racist narratives, S*icide bated multiple times only >

He's not, but he's hardly in the position to cause problems on the Express itself. He's long since been thrown from the proverbial frying pan and into the fire. What purpose would being a nuisance serve when his goal is getting off this thing and far away from the crew as soon as possible?

...he says that like he was expecting him to cause all manner of problems while he's trapped here.

It's been two days and he's already sick of this. ...why did she choose to subject him to this of all things?

.

....something tells him this is going to be more trouble than it's worth....

// watch me carefully crop photos of Blade to make his hair look a little shorter to match my take on him....

"This is not going to work." That had been his constant complaint when Kafka informed him where she intended to have him lay low for this, but each and every time his protests were ignored and his proverbial leash was tugged to force him along. He knew that @cloudhymmed.bsky.social alone could~

"You know what I meant. See to it that it does not repeat, because I will not warn him next time."

// MFER I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO RESPOOOOOOND CAUSE I WAS DRIVING LET ME LIIIIIIIVE

He's been exceedingly patient already. Provoking someone as dangerous as he is isn't wise. "I could have done much worse far sooner. Put an end to it, or I will."

// more errands to run, I'll be back

Then he should control his companion if he doesn't want Caelus breathing through a hole in his neck...

// phone please

Can't blame him for reacting to something at this point.

"Don't say I never warned you. You were told last time not to call me that. Your choice to use it again now is deliberately to provoke. Keep in mind I only miss when I mean to."

That sword hand of his itches something fierce though...

"If the boy wants to tempt fate, let him... who am I to judge?"

"...you have a death wish, don't you, Nameless. Was my threat not clear the last time you dared call me that or do I need to let my sword do the talking?"

"..." Say that name to his face, Caelus, see what happens.

// Aight, set up enough for now, I'll add the specifics to my take on Blade later maybe 😩
