[An aggrieved breath brushes through Eleven's crystal. He sounds tired and annoyed in the moment, as though speaking directly to someone of something]

I'm trying to grow things, here.

For Goddess' sake, I only just planted this patch yesterday.

[He sighs, temper easing, though his voice remains underscored by a thread of tension]

..Has anyone found anything about the dark waters? How to remove them or purify them or.. something. I've been working around them much as I can, but something will surely need to be done to clear it up if this village is going to thrive after we've gone.

[He's going to leave one place better than they found it okay.

..Maybe. Hopefully]

[Eleven glances up to spot an unfamiliar face and smiles. He edges around the fields to approach]

You must be Xie Yun?

[balancedwire]

[ He gives the other a smile in return. ]

That would be me. How much have you scouted so far?

[bearshermark]

[He casts about for an estimate]

Nearly half, I would say. So far I haven't been able to see any infection by the dark waters, so that's a good sign..

[balancedwire]

What does the infection normally look like?

[ That way he knows what he's looking for. ]
