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. )

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?

[downswing]

You disdain it?

[silverneedles]

I question the reason.

[downswing]

Not all words spit or slap the cheek.

[silverneedles]

Very well. It is not a concern but if it will ease your mind.

[downswing]

Will we ever sit at odds?

[silverneedles]

Possibly.

[downswing]

I do not wish your enmity.

[silverneedles]

Nor I yours, Hangunag-jun.

[downswing]

But your people burned my home. Mine claimed Qishan.

Blood sleeps between us.

Will that be the way of it?

[silverneedles]

You watched the slaughter of my family, who had no involvement in burning your home.

That is not here. Now, you are loved by the remainder of my family, and I would make things easy for them.

[downswing]

( No hands unstained in war. )

You would swallow me like ginseng.

( Bitter on the tongue. )
