[ video ] un: qishan

[ The video opens with Wen Qing, dressed in trousers and a ruffled white shirt, looking fairly annoyed. She holds up an orange. ] This is an orange. There are barrels of them in the hold. Eat them. You don't need to have one daily, but make sure you're eating one every few days.

[ She glances away, mouthing something to someone just out of video range, and then she looks back to the communication device, flipping it around. Standing there is a sailor, unwashed and grimy. He's holding up a tooth, still bloody, and grinning proudly. This isn't the first tooth he's lost; most of them are gone, and his gums are bloody. Wen Qing continues over the camera. ]

This gentleman is a fine example of what will happen should you forget to eat them. [ The "do not forget to eat them" is heavily implied. She flips the device back, still frowning. ]

As Miss Eda mentioned, the sailors seem afraid of women so none of them will listen to me about the oranges. Someone pass on the message to them.

You have my gratitude.

[ Sorry Lan Wangji, you now have to tell the pirates to eat their oranges. ]

Unnecessary. They trouble you elsewise?

They are brash and careless with their speech but otherwise harmless.

They presume against your honour?

( Let alone her modesty, her dignity. )

One tried. He woke up with a splitting headache much later.

[ She doubts any would try again. ]

He need not wake.

If he attempts it again, he will not.

Your restraint generous.

I shall point him out to you, so you might keep watch.

Wei Ying requires distraction.

( Feed the fellow to the Patriarch, why won't you. )

And you do not?

Your temperament is both yin-led.

Restlessness does not devour me.

So you would make Wei Wuxian watch him to serve as a distraction?

I have reared a child.

( This... may or may not be precisely what both Wen Qing and Wei Wuxian are. )

And that has prepared you for this?

[ She's too amused to be offended by that. ]

You see no similitude?

In Wei Wuxian? Yes.

To no other?

State your meaning.

As gleaned.

They teach no manners in Gusu, now?

As gleaned.
