sweet lily of the hidden valley:

I have healing magic

I haven't offered yet. But it doesnt seem right to charge to heal people.

[weifinder]

Are we in a position to afford charity right now? I'm not saying charge beyond anyone's means, or that charging is only in coin, but you do realise what we need is funding in addition to currently continued good will leading up to whatever our mysterious rescuers have in mind for getting us out of this place.

[bearshermark]

I guess I didn't think of it like that. I'll think about it. I just wanted to let everyone know if they needed it.

[weifinder]

Right, yes, it's good to know! I'm less on the medical side of things myself, but I make an excellent terrible patient if you ever want one.

Are you sure you want to detail anything here? I was going to ask, what is magic healing specifically to you, but some things might be better off not written down. Coyly whispered in each other's ears while we have the easy means to all understand each other, probably a sound plan, right?

[bearshermark]

[That's a weird way of saying it]

It's nothing special I don't think. But we all have the same goal, so I won't need to charge any of us if ever your injured.

[weifinder]

... Oh, well, yes, I wouldn't charge any of us in the same situation either, that's not how you look out for a group!

[bearshermark]

I want to help, so I hope we can all work together. I know there's at least half a dozen of us.

[weifinder]

Yes, you're not wrong about that. We're operating on too little information, and too few resources at present. We're going to be each other's best of one, if not the other, for the time being.

[bearshermark]

Yes. Not that I'm not grateful for what we have but we'll need more if we're going to leave this place.

At the least I should be able to barter for more food with this.

[weifinder]

... Yes, food here, though also, what form is this healing of yours? Something done in person? Something in poultices? Decoctions?

[bearshermark]

In person yes.

[It takes a few minutes to think of how to describe it. Some partial words from the background project themselves out of context before he follows up]

I summon the magic with my hands. I don't have to touch someone unless the wound needs cleaned but its close.

[weifinder]

Ah.

( Not unusual, give what he knows of those who help heal with qi, even what Lan Zhan offered on first meeting, but; )

See if you can inquire how healing here generally works. You might want to disguise the method if yours is too different, enough that it stands out as useful.

[bearshermark]

Thats a good idea. I wouldnt have thought of that.

[He doesn't know how disguising magic would work, but if he could.. then he could reach more people- the types he'd feel slightly less guilty charging]

[weifinder]

Is it very obvious, this magic you call on?

[bearshermark]

There's a light green glow so it might be hard to hide but I could try. I've never tried to before.

[weifinder]

I'd say try, or find something else that glows to explain the why, or something linked to spiritual energies... I'll ask around too! See what I can learn about, ah, the way things are done here.

[bearshermark]

Thank you. I'm greatful for your thoughts and help.
