    Summary

    With the defeat of Irontomb the Astral express crew take to the stars once again, a stop that originally started as means to solve the express’ fuel issue turning into something none of them could’ve possibly imagined.
    After bittersweet farewells to their new friends the crew begin preparations to set off onto their next destination. At Dan Heng’s suggestion the crew make a stop at the Loufu for restocking as well as Stelle’s insistence to have Bailu give the Vidyadhara a once-over to make sure that the coreflame of earth hadn’t had any adverse effects on him and just to be sure he was fine.
    After the crew’s help with Phantylia and during the Wardance most of the Vidyadhara aboard the ship no longer held any grievances towards their exiled high elder. This, however, did not mean everyone had changed their minds, nor did it mean that a certain faction wouldn’t jump at the mere idea of acquiring the power of the Permanence directly from the one being closest to the existence of their deceased Aeon in pursuit of revitalizing the stagnant pool that had become the dead path of Permanence, no matter the cost…

    Summary

    Questions:

    1. How would D help someone with amnesia rebuild self-awareness when said self-awareness keeps crawling under one’s blanket?
    2. How would D gently encourage independence and appropriate distance without hurting her feelings?
    3. How would D remove his best friend from his bed without physically lifting her, which feels unethical and is also impossible when she clings like a koala to him?

    Any advice is highly appreciated, but please keep it constructive.

    Summary

    And that is what makes her chest tighten.

    Because she recognizes that look.

    It’s the one he wears when he decides something he values isn't worth anything special. 

    He doesn’t withdraw from the nest. If anything, he becomes more intent on it. Another blanket is pulled closer. Another edge is tucked in with precise, almost reverent care. His movements are slow, deliberate, as if he’s trying to compensate for something — like if he builds it well enough, carefully enough, it’ll justify itself.

    And suddenly, it looks less like a joke.

    — stelle accidentally acts a little insensitive

    “Think they’ll figure it out?” she asked casually.
    Dan Heng glanced back at her. “Eventually.”
    “Good,” she said, pleased. “I was getting bored.”
