He gives Wolfwood a moment to take it in, thinking, not for the first time, if it'd be nice to just invite No-Man's-Land residents to board the Express when this is all over. Not like he can, but it is a thought.
Dan Heng smiles faintly when Wolfwood drags his attention back to the task at hand. No need to call attention to the childlike wonder he'd just borne witness to, lest he embarrass his friend. ] I do believe they can attack out of self-defense. These are a sort of...minor kaiju? [Jury's still out on that one. ] Don't get caught in the pincers- the claws. They're very hard to get out of. [And painful, he imagines. Hmmmmm...] There are some weak points addressed in the data. The head. Bad eyesight. If we take one down, do you think we could carry it back...? [Crab tipping...]

[He didn't bring punisher along, however, so shooting it was out of the question for him. But he came out of a sense of curiosity, not to kill the damn beach worth of creatures.]
I can definitely carry one of those things though. But I don't really want to try punching that thing. You got a way to bring it down?
Hi everything's on fire in event, but here's. Belated beach episode reply?
I can handle it. [He watches the crab skitter around for a moment. Wolfwood might notice his pupils dilating, not unlike a cat about to pounce.
…..not that WW would know what a cat is…probably.
Spectral water forms around Dan Heng’s legs, providing a sort of springboard for him to launch himself through the air towards the overlarge crustacean. In a flash, he’s on it, bringing the butt of his spear down hard on the targeted part of its head.
The crab screeches, a claw jerking as if to grab him but much too slow. It stumbles forward, and Dan Heng throws a water dragon in front of its legs, forcing it to trip and fall.
And down the beast goes…Dan Heng steps off it back to the sand, delivering a precise stab between the shell bits to put it out of its misery quickly.
He meets Wolfwood’s eyes, and gives the most deadpan thumbs up you’ve probably ever seen. He then gestures for the man to come over.] Here, come look. I’ll show you where the meat is and how to prepare it. I think there are some grills still around…
le old drama free days
Dan Heng strikes him as the quiet calm guy, but there's something predator about him when he's got a spear in his hand and prey in front of him. He has no reason to doubt the guy's confidence, so he simply crosses his arms and observes the fierce battle between claw and spear.
He whistles after that crunch, making his way closer, looking over Dan Heng's shoulder at the meaty mess below.]
And down it goes.
[He steps to the side, kicking curiously at one of it's claws. It's heavy, and kind of wicked looking. And if he wasn't the kind of guy that ate the heads off of flying insects he might question why anybody would want to eat this creepy ass water bug.]
I'm all ears, Teach.
Yes! And I do have a point I'm aiming for here, prommy
The claw twitches slightly at being kicked, but then goes still. Dan Heng huffs.]
I’ve seen creatures similar to these, but never as big. [Not to mention Xianzhou Luofu vidyadhara seem to have a taste for seafood in general…
He gestures to one of the smaller legs.] There’s alot of meat in the claw and body, which I feel would be a waste since we wouldn’t be able to finish it here. Leaving it in the shell for now will help maintain its freshness longer. [Dan Heng cuts into the joint connected to the main body.] Help me pull this off? [He’ll need help cracking the leg open too, which will be easy with Wolfwood’s strength. He just guides along with cuts from his spear.
…Yingxing would be rolling in his nonexistent grave if he knew Cloud Piercer was being used for something like this. Alas. A blade is a blade.
Working together, they should be able to extract some crab meat. It’s a kaiju, but it’s still the expected white and pink coloring. Dan Heng eats some first to be sure…hm. He smiles a little.] Good. It’s about what I’d expected. It’s better to cook it, which we’ll do in a bit, but crab is safe to eat raw too. See? [Up to Wolfwood if he wants to try it too. Hey, at least it’s not covered in bug juices? Just normal ocean moisture, maybe some sand.
((Disclaimer: sometimes crab is not safe to eat raw depending on the location or where you bought it from. Could be bacteria, parasites...eugh. SINCE THIS IS A BIG FANTASY KAIJU CRAB though let's just say it's safe here ok? ok.))]

He stares at the meat in Dan Heng's hand before shrugging and taking it from him. He's never been picky when it comes to food, and he's never hesitated to eat a worm, so this might just be a step up for him. As sad as that is.
He makes a bit of a face, the flavor entirely new to him.]
Does it taste different heated? Not bad, but ain't exactly sure it screams a kid's favorite food to me.
