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. )

For any who are curious, Zenobius is physically fine. His bruises will heal in a few days.

[weifinder]

Thank you for announcing as much, Wen Qing.

[silverneedles]

Easing curiosity helps. We'll see if he eventually wakes.

[weifinder]

One hopes. Though if he doesn't wake before the ship arrives, I don't know that I feel comfortable leaving him behind.

[silverneedles]

Do you think to take him with us, if he doesn't wake?

[weifinder]

Yes, though I realise it won't be easy bringing a man in his condition to sea.

[silverneedles]

We would have to find space for him.

[weifinder]

Space for him, supplies to tend to him, the time devoted, and you know the only people I've ever tended to like this. Still, and this isn't a matter of trust, but it's not right to leave him. Unconscious, and perhaps undying, but uncared for?

[silverneedles]

It wouldn't be right. [ Even if she doesn't trust him, it wouldn't be right to leave him. ] If he remains like the sleepers, all we would need to do is tend his hair and bathe him. I cannot but surely there is one among our party who can.

[weifinder]

We've a few volunteers, and needs must, I can help, though no one's going to be calling me tender anytime soon.

[silverneedles]

And your newly acquired memory of brushing hair does not help?

[downswing]

Mistress Wen honours her craft. Signals of violence?

[silverneedles]

Scrapes from falling rather than violence.

[downswing]

Within the mistress' ability.

The man has shown eerie dispositions prior. You wish him cleansed beforehand?

[silverneedles]

Can you provide cleansing to one who sleeps?

[downswing]

The lesser rites.

[silverneedles]

Play soon, then.

[downswing]

You need not be his nursemaid, if you distrust him.

[silverneedles]

I will care for his bruises. Others might care for his grooming.

[ She can do that, if needed; after all, she cared for Wen Ning while they waited to see what would happen. But it's easier if she doesn't. ]

[downswing]

We take your aid granted.

[silverneedles]

It is a physician's duty.

[downswing]

One who numbers mere handfuls of summers and thrice their burden.

[silverneedles]

It makes a better physician.

[downswing]

We must watch your exposure to excess spiritual malice.

[silverneedles]

A concern now?
