We've just heard from our friend Haltham about the fighting between Unhalad and Anurr forces nearby, so here's a question for everyone, brought up originally by our companions who got themselves drugged and fight-happy against the second living: what actions do you think we should or shouldn't take?
In Haltham's encouraging words, think wisely. Whatever we're doing or not doing has an effect by merit of choice. Also, a reminder that we still need to not end up in either's hands or revealing our location, given the reason we were summoned here has not changed, and our deaths can be a benefit to either side. Our lives benefit ourselves and our rescuers and the peoples here, by keeping us out of warlord hands.
( He's not opening up with his thoughts because he doesn't want it as a discussion against his take, but as people offering their thoughts after he asks the question. )

The easiest way for me to borrow power is through a kiss, and I've never...
[Kissed a lady. In fact he's only ever kissed one person in his entire life.]
If it's too much, don't worry about it. We'll find another way.

oh her cheeks are burning
oh this takes a long moment.
she responds finally, a little less confident than before but only a little. )
A kiss... is fine. If you're fine with it that is.
It's for a good reason.

And to be honest, Xie Lian is also blushing on his side, because this is all very improper.]
It doesn't have to be anything deep!
[Wait, he's making it worse.]
no subject
I'm Alina, by the way. If that makes this any less weird.
no subject
if this is too much please tell me. I don't want to make you uncomfortable!
no subject
It's fine, really. I'd be more uncomfortable not helping any way that I can.
And I know I have a large supply of energy to share...
no subject
... We'll probably have to try first, and see if it works.

I... Have something on me that limits my power. So this is why I need to borrow some, and I won't be able to take too much at one time.
no subject
Kind of looks like we're perfect to work together.
no subject
We'll have to be careful, though. The last time I broke it, I basically drained the person who was giving me energy and I really won't want to do that again. Having it is inconvenient, but I've been dealing with it a while and I can work around it.
here comes 1 of 2 different cut ins lkadsjf
Why are you kissing at all?! Aren't you a martial god?! Even a scrap god! You're not a god of love or foxes, is there really no other way to take in energy?!

( Kissing in general is intimate, but there are less! Scandalous ways! Probably! )
no subject
no subject
Are you sure they didn't just want to kiss you?!
no subject
[And afterwards....]
... The point is, I've never done it any other way. I don't know how else to make it work. I have... limitations on what I can do at the moment.
no subject
( This sounds still? Suspicious? )
Still, couldn't you, I don't know, kiss a wrist or any other acupoint?
no subject
... I could try. I don't know if it'll work, but we need to test it out anyway.
no subject
Fine, fine, test it out now, where are you?
