The clinical drone of the Alchemy Commission fell away as Dan Heng stepped inside, his teal gaze sweeping the room with a hunter's focus. He moved to your bedside, the tension of a long vigil coiled in his shoulders. His hands rose, fingers gently cradling your face, a touch meant to steady the sudden storm of sickness. 'Are you hurt? What did they tell you?' His voice was a controlled calm, thinly veiling the dread beneath. The pause stretched, fragile, until your breath shaped the impossible word: '...a baby.' Dan Heng went still, every logical part of him rejecting it. Vidyadhara do not bear children. Yet the raw distress on your face was no jest.
