un: dappled pearl of the parted seas [voice] - Your local Cassandra is back in town

I know that ash is commonly used for cleaning, but I do not believe it is quite as effective on stone or hardwood floors. And if you'd like to burn something, the kitchen might not be the best place. We have room outside.

Also, I do believe there was talk about purifying the lake and the house after our... guests departed. Has more thought been put into that?

[And then, after a brief silence...]

Do we have a dog here?

I don't know where else it is required, I just saw it happen somewhere else.

[downswing]

You saw.

Your... visions.

[beitangmoran]

Yes.

We do have a pond in the garden don't we? Did something happen there that you know of?

[downswing]

Wei Ying drew water for his trough.


( A crime all men must know of. )

[beitangmoran]

That does not sound like the kind of thing to require salt purification.

[downswing]

Master Moran did not behold.

[beitangmoran]

.... It cannot have been this bad.

[downswing]

You saw purification cast on the pond?

[beitangmoran]

Salt being thrown into it. A rather significant amount.

[downswing]

Last recourse, in living water. As you remarked.

[beitangmoran]

so either something happened, or something will happen in this pond.

Does it house living fish?

[downswing]

I have not partaken of the wares.

[beitangmoran]

It is kind of odd to have a pond and a well in a farmstead... unless the pound is used to house live fish before consumption, but with this cold, would it even matter? Or maybe it is used as a small water reservoir closer than the lake... but there is a well, I believe, so what is the point then?

It might be strictly ornamental, I suppose.

[weifinder]

From the well, Lan Zhan.

[downswing]

( Correction, because do not lie, then: )


Wei Ying drew trough bathing water from the well.

[weifinder]

So why're we salting the pond water, ah?

[downswing]

We do not intend to.

Master Moran is mistaken. Again.

[weifinder]

Mah, for what, seeing an instance where things like what he says happen? I'd think the problem is seeing something without context, like what Jiang Cheng's complaining about with his menace.

[downswing]

A talent unmastered.

[weifinder]

Or a talent not meant to be mastered in traditional ways.

[downswing]

You defend him readily.



( What is this twincest going on here. )

[weifinder]

Lan Zhan, does it surprise that of anyone you know, I'd defend those with skills outside of what we consider usual?

[beitangmoran]

I do master my talent, Master Lan.

It's just that my talent is not what you wish it to be.

[downswing]

( 'Useful.' 'Coherent.' 'Timely.' )

Understood.

[beitangmoran]

I do not think you really do understand, but it is of no matter.

I have told you before that it is not a blessing, but a curse. This is one of the reasons why.
