[While on the boat ride from hell, there's a point in the first night where Hermione decides what the hell, for morale.]

I have mint leaves for anyone who is sea-sick, so please reach out if you would like some. I can float them to your boat. Chewing on peppermint would've been better, but desperate times call for desperate measures.

[There is a pause on her end here, before she writes out the rest:]

For whoever is holding the candles lit, if you are having trouble staying awake or keeping calm, maybe we can exchange stories. Surely if we whisper into our pendants...

... broom?

[ Focusing on the important questions, or something. No, he heard her, but it's complicated. His seasickness is a sign, he knows now, of his not belonging to the Lan Clan by blood - not something that would matter much here, he thinks, but back home, it would have put him into danger, and others beside him, despite Hanguang-jun's efforts.

And he has to get through this journey - and Hanguang-jun is trying to help. That's enough, he thinks.

So, asking about the part which he doesn't quite understand. ]
