[ 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.

There are always better ways.

[ They just won't really find them on a ship. ]

Maybe. Or they'll decide that listening isn't worth their time.

That seems to be the general attitude. Unfortunate. They would be better able to handle their tasks and the issues we encounter if they were not sick.

If we had what was needed then I would help make the medicine.

[silverneedles]

If we ever gather the ingredients, I will inform you. Have you experience in making medicine?

Let's just say I'm a jack-of-all-trades. Medicine, weapon making, songs, and more.

It's useful to have someone well-skilled along with us.

[balancedwire]

One should be able to use whatever trade they have and work toward using it when needed.

[silverneedles]

I focused on one, rather than many.

[balancedwire]

You never know what is needed for a situation.

[silverneedles]

Do you also cook?

[Video]

[balancedwire]

I do cook too. It's something that I enjoy doing.

[Video]

[silverneedles]

I've never managed to cook anything, beyond some burned sweet potatoes.

[balancedwire]

If you ever wish to learn then I will teach you.

[silverneedles]

Thank you, but I think we have enough bad cooks around that it's not important.

[balancedwire]

I will cook well enough for all of us then. But the offer is there.
