I need someone who has some skill in medicine making. I need a medicine I brought with me replicated.

I will compensate you for your time.

It is not urgent.

[It is a little bit urgent? Not right now but soon...but is he going to say that? Of course not.]

Why does it matter?

[weifinder]

I'm trying to imagine how you both met without masks to, ah, alter your perceptions of each other?

[wooden_one]

It's none of your business.

[It's curt and cold but not like he's embarrassed, oddly enough. He was just caught in an unexpected situation, what was there to be embarrassed about? It was Miss Wen who had been the one hallucinating. So this is not an embarrassed reaction but a protective one...even if they were still near strangers.]

Don't you have anything better to do than bother me about inconsequential things?

[weifinder]

Wen Qing is as a sister to me. I really, really don't.

[wooden_one]

Then ask her. I have no interest in discussing others behind their backs.

[...or like. On the network???]

[weifinder]

Stating how you met her masked is... talking behind her back? My, my, you're terrible at reassurance.

[wooden_one]

...are you always this bothersome?

[weifinder]

Often worse, so I'm told!

( said so cheerily. )

[wooden_one]

Don't say that like it's something to be proud of!

[weifinder]

Why not?

[wooden_one]

Because it's not a positive habit!

[weifinder]

Yet it often generates positive results mixed in with all the annoyed ones.

[wooden_one]

What kind of positive results could such pestering lead to?
