[ 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.

I have reared a child.



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

[silverneedles]

And that has prepared you for this?

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

[downswing]

You see no similitude?

[silverneedles]

In Wei Wuxian? Yes.

[downswing]

To no other?

[silverneedles]

State your meaning.

[downswing]

As gleaned.

[silverneedles]

They teach no manners in Gusu, now?

[downswing]

As gleaned.
