So much had happened, so much that left Caelus thinking and worried about the person, who had been the center of attention - even without clearly wanting to. Even someone half-witted could figure that out, after all, Dan Heng had at first refused to go on the Loufu, but destiny had, had other plans - or rather, the man named Blade. After all, he had seemed to be the main reason that Dan Heng had so desperately tried to find them, even when he had, without a doubt, wanted to stay on the Astral Express. Caelus had of course been happy to see the male, once he had appeared, but he had been immensely worried, when he had seen, what had been going on, plus a little hurt, but he also understood where Dan Heng was coming from. After all, there were quite some things that he had yet to speak about, like all the nightmares that he experienced, that Bailu tried to help with by giving him medication for it. It had helped a bit, but it seemed that the nightmares were persistent as they appeared, even if not as lengthy and intense.
Spotting the male that he had been looking for, Caelus halted a bit, while watching Dan Heng, looking out for small signs that indicated that his company was not desired right now. Seeing none, he walked over until he stood beside the other, resulting them both to stand before one of the Astral Express' big windows, where stars could be seen as far as the eye could see. It was beautiful and never ceased to make Caelus feel somewhat at peace. Right now, though, he felt also a little nervous, something that showed as he had yet to properly look at Dan Heng. Toying with his fingers for a second, Caelus took a deep breath before focusing golden depths on the familiar features.
❝ How are you feeling? Please... be honest with me, ❞
something slightly vulnerable seeped into Caelus' usually warm voice, an emotion that was mirrored upon the youthful looking features as he stood there, making it clear that he was only here to help and to make it known that he cared - a great deal, actually.
