Master Zenobius was recovered from where he'd collapsed in a dry well. We have him resting and sleeping safely now, to those who may be concerned.

Ah, and for those of a mind for it, several... memories of his were shared in not entirely useful ways with me. I'll run through them for those wishing to hear about them, if there are any of you. After answering initial questions, ah?

( ooc: first comment will be wei wuxian's sharing of what he learned via Empathy, please go "..." and yell at him, Jiang Cheng or Lan Sizhui, or Wen Qing on principle. )

I... think there have been already too many mirrors. The one on the ship, the one from Sa-Hareth... I doubt the one? Or ones? In these memories is either of them. Is it?

[weifinder]

No, but one wonders if it predates the rest. In memory, it was whole and rust coloured. Later, shattered and bleeding Zenobius fresh as he clutched a shard in hand. The dead followed after, and after whatever loss Matthias suffered.

Once, the mermaids swam freely and peacefully here. Now they die in compulsion after mirrors.

[ Sizhui considers for a long moment. ]

Perhaps. The mirror on the ship had definitely affected the mermaids who were trying to take it back.

Senior Wei, if I were to help you, could we try to identify which of the shards on the tenth floor come from mirrors in those memories? That might help to know more.

[weifinder]

If we ask your father to play Clarity while we're wearing talismans to try combatting the mirror's effects, yes.

[paperbutterflies]

None are more skilled than he is.

[ Sorry, Zewu-jun. ]

[weifinder]

Then broaching this to him is something I'll support, son.

[paperbutterflies]

I will go ask.

[weifinder]

Let me know his thoughts!
