what have i become, my sweetest friend?

[ Dan Heng trails along a half step behind him, his pace only slightly hurried (slower than Yanqing or the Master Diviner, but still betraying his youth) to match Jing Yuan's much longer stride. The effect is similar to when the Express had assisted the Luofu in the Kafka matter, and Welt Yang had been flanked by March 7th and Stelle while they parlayed with the Helmmaster. The Nameless don't hold for ranks the way the Cloud Knights do, and Dan Heng isn't a High Elder, isolated by the Preceptors and walking on his own. Whatever he thinks of the rest of the Luofu, Dan Heng holds the General in the same lever esteem as his own senior crew members, it seems. ]

I think Cloud-Piercer was damaged in the fight before the Phantylia conflict.

[ You know, with... with that guy. ]

Repairing it is beyond my skill level, and Himeko suggested that a Luofu craftsman might be better suited than her to help before we leave the system, but...

[ But he doesn't think it's a good idea to just show up and flash a Yingxing-made weapon in front of the Artisan Commission. ]

I am grateful that my exile was rescinded, but I wish to exercise caution, all the same. You know better than I would about who has the skill and discretion needed for the task.

[ After all that trouble he and Miss Bailu went through to reseal the Arbor... He's being cautious.]
