Hey, every one of us glorious abductees! A question, to those listening right now, brought to you by myself and Master Archeval due to the considerations of a friend, but: what would you make of being informed that, and here I'm quoting, "The man you trust was six years not among us?"

( A dramatic pause, for digestion purposes. )

All said and done, with that message slipped to me, I can say with certainty there's a handful I fully trust here, and there's none I trust entirely from here, no offense. However, there is one we've been forced to trust, ah? In hearing these words, what are your thoughts?

Mm, please, don't be! It's not something of mine to mourn.

( He wasn't owed the right, when it came to his martial uncle. Nor himself in a strange way, but there's no uncertainty in the strength of his own pulse, here or back home. )

Enough of this, we're being sad! Eleven, when did you last eat? We've got millet over the fire, it's warm enough to not be all burned on the bottom, unless you like it that way, in which case we can definitely figure out a way.

[It's an abrupt shift, but Wei Wuxian seems to be like that- always trying for cheer.

Eleven doesn't manage to fully cover a wince. He's so very tired of that bland taste and gritty texture]

One good thing that came from my talk with Haltham: he gave me the location of what should hopefully be a good fishing spot. We could eat millet- or try to fish up some real food.

( He can be less abrupt, if he feels so compelled, but it's usually easier to bear the obvious brunt and still have things turn down new avenues. )

Oh?

... Want to go? Is it nearby?

( IS IT POSSESSED OF SPIRITUAL CARP?! )

[bearshermark]

[Um, probs not?

Eleven consults his journal]

He suggested a lake in the meadows past the rim of the forest. I don't know where the sun is right now, but at least we could find it?

[weifinder]

( He sets aside his cup, standing and stretching in a languid, lazy movement. )

Better to check out that direction anyway, so what say you? Care to jaunt toward another section of Anurr's territory?

[bearshermark]

[He nods, seeming to brighten as he follows suit]

I hope it's true. We'll be able to get more food for everyone- maybe prepare better for leaving.
