How does a farmer become rich suddenly? I don't think I've ever heard a story like that before. At least not without marriage. All I can think is either I have a noblewoman as a wife or I got real lucky playing slots when I left for the city. I'm not sure what's more believable.

I was also mistaken for a ferryman when I was steering a gondola the other day while wearing a different mask. It's kind of nice, so I think I'll keep at it for an hour or two a night. I thought it might be helpful if two people from opposite sides need to meet in person for a little while.

If it'll help sell our meeting and your reputation.

[Why this]

[weifinder]

( welcome to the world of politics, no one likes it, and if they do, try not to like them too much: it won't always end well. )

Awh, see, you're already well versed in how we're selling ourselves as not so terribly foreign as to be utterly, dangerously unacceptable.

A blessing and many distraction talismans for you! I'll give you a few sound-throwing ones too.

[It makes him want to put a sword through something- moreso since both of his usual sparring partners are unavailable for differing reasons]

You're better with discerning information than I am. I'll keep you appraised if there's anything of interest.

( Sparring is valid, ask Wei Wuxian out in the sorcery, healing districts sometime. He can handle a regular spar, just not a cultivator one long term. )

Thank you, Eleven. Likewise, anything you wish me to keep you appraised on?

[bearshermark]

I have an interest in the religions and spirituality of this world. I've done some reading but you might be closer to that.

[weifinder]

Ah, and the research I should be doing at present anyway. Yes, I'll see if anything stands out to me in particular, but what focus is your own interest?

[bearshermark]

The varying beliefs surrounding the natural cycle of life and death for this world.

[weifinder]

You just had to ask the guy meant to be a fertility goddess in a new form this, didn't you? Hah, I'll see what I can dig up, Eleven.

[bearshermark]

If you happen to come across anything. You don't need to extend yourself for it.

[weifinder]

I read what I read, I'll keep an eye tuned! Sounds like interesting things at least, not so dry and boring as other texts I've endured in my youth.

[bearshermark]

I appreciate it.
