[Never again will Jing Yuan voice the way he sees Dan Heng sometimes, like the ghost of Dan Feng lives in him. The look the vidyadhara gives him, clearly suspicious with a hint of concern, is very nostalgic to him. He says nothing for a moment, his thoughts preoccupied with the stirring of memory in his chest.]

[He's asked him to participate in a life or death mission, though he hardly had a choice. Dan Heng was obligated to assist in the Stellaron crisis as a Nameless, but the stability and lives of the citizens of the Luofu had also hinged on the general forcing Imbibitor Lunae into facing his past.

Jing Yuan's smile is gentle and welcoming, but still conceiling.]

Fortunately, I doubt I could actually drain the qi from your body, so at most I think all I would do is embrace you very tightly.
