    Summary

    "I'm going to kill you if you don't return him to the Astral Express within five minutes. I'm counting."

    Boothill whistles lowly, "That sure is one ticked-off missus."

    Or, Boothill hitches a ride with the Nameless, Dan Heng is stressed out of his mind, and Ren just wants to know who the hell this damn cowboy is.

    Summary

    Ren is well acquainted with Dan Heng's coldness. His fear, his anger, his pity, too. But his gentleness is a foreign beast, and Ren would rather strike it down where it stands than let it live long enough to feel the sting of its bite.

    He isn't foolish enough to think that it could be tamed.

    Summary

    He thrusts the sword forward again, hilt-first. At this angle, it would only take such a simple movement from Blade to plunge it through his chest. "If you want it discarded so badly, do it yourself." Prove it, he manages not to say. Prove that's what you really think, because I don't believe you.

    This time, Blade takes it, even if only to sheathe it immediately. He squeezes Dan Heng's hand when they make contact, in an attempt at reassurance.

    "It's okay," He says, strangely tranquil. "You shouldn't have to care so much."

    "It's not my choice," Dan Heng replies. "But I would choose it."

    "…I cannot stop you."

    "No."

    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."
