[ no, it isn't a conversation they should be having during his heat. dan heng isn't thinking entirely straight, he's more affectionate right now, more needy and wanting, but.. the worst that happens is, after his heat, dan heng changes his mind. and yingxing would respect that. he isn't thinking too hard about this, isn't expecting too much yet. but dan feng's interference does complicate things. ]

[ it'll be difficult to avoid dan feng's scrutiny, but. he'll have to manage it somehow. ]
