( Behold the beautiful view of one [1] Lan Wangji, blood-drenched in one of the dusty, downtrodden streets of Hatthevar, while rains weep down — clear, for a change. In the hand that isn't holding his pendant, his sword's drawn, bloodied. )

Slave masters know little of the man Matthias. ( A pause, then almost sheepish: ) When they yet speak. Their victims recall with difficulty. Shall search the waters for signs of his whereabouts.

( Small chance of it, but carrying on ) Beware wish makers. They tempt with that which is not theirs to give.

[ She can already guess the answer, but she feels like she has to ask, considering all the blood— ]

Are you alright?

[downswing]

Physically. ( A short, snapped look to his sword, awkwardly setting it behind himself. ) Apologies for your delicate sensitivities.

[nochnaya]

[ Ah, yes, her delicate sensitivities. ]

Only physically? What about mentally? Emotionally?

[downswing]

...least often inquired.

[nochnaya]

I am inquiring now.

[downswing]

To what end?

[nochnaya]

Is empathy not enough of a reason?

[downswing]

I shall benefit from productivity.

[nochnaya]

And you have been very productive, it seems.

You remind me of my partner, in this. Do you know him? Cal Kestis?

[downswing]

Fleetingly.

A chain breaker?
