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. )

Comments

[weifinder]

Nor I, much as I don't wish any of you among that number, whatever the, ah. Tendency we as a group have to rasher actions.

You and yours, you're safe?

[eternallywandering]

I have my very own protector! Don't worry for me. And if my Lao Wen fails, Baiyi will serve me well.

[weifinder]

Hah, of course, of course. Baiyi, would that be your sword?

( one assumes when one was raised with nothing but sword cultivating sects and thus a named weapon first, to his mind, evokes a sword, and not his own flute, because the number of people who think a flute is a great defense system usually numbers at himself and lan zhan, depending on his mood. )

[eternallywandering]

Correct. He has been with me through everything.

[Baiyi is a strange sword that can wrap around him if he wishes to conceal it. Additionally, it can bend in battle, offering him new angles to disarm his opponent. Oh and it's also named after a very stubborn man - who also created it.

Hearing that a flute is a weapon won't be so strange for him since Kexing's weapon is a fan.]

[weifinder]

As good blades should be.

( the ache of being the one to let your spiritual blade down... )

[eternallywandering]

Weapons can come in many forms.

[Don't count your flute as lesser.]

[weifinder]

Mm, look among us for confirmation enough.

[eternallywandering]

I am grateful we have weapons at all.

[weifinder]

Yes, well, the merchant might but agree, but we've been as we are.

[eternallywandering]

You've been a wise and capable leader, Wuxian. I'm sorry I haven't done more to help.

[weifinder]

Hah, people do enough as it is, Zhou Zishu, and you no less for constraints. I don't require flattery! In fact, that might be the only time I've heard any, thank you, but the rest—we are all doing what we think is best. Catastrophically or otherwise.

[eternallywandering]

My gratitude isn't flattery. I see what you do and I thank you for it. I hope we are free of this scenery soon.
