un: worm wife / text
( There is absolutely someone out there fucking with Wen Kexing, and so if anyone mentions the state of his new name he's going to commit Attrocities. He's here for a reason ... admittedly a potential wife reason, but still! You mention being a worm one time and fate laughs at you. )
It's come to my attention we're all very demure about our own skill sets. When it comes to trying to work together that reticence might be to our detriment. Especially considering the wealth of people we have here, what if one of us is in need of a carpenter and we don't know where to go? Or a scribe, those might be handy with all the terrible meetings we have to listen to. Or a healer, even.
( A healer especially, but he is the most subtle and anyone implying otherwise needs to be quiet. )
And so, I thought it might be a good idea if we instead shared what we were good at. I can go first.
Cooking.
A pursuer of scholarly endeavours.
Passable martial arts.
Provider of wine.
If anyone needs any poetry or lessons in how not to burn water then I am certainly your man. I know these arenβt exactly the more useful of skills, but there are bound to be more capable people out there. We need to help each other in these trying times, after all.
( We also need to not be lying bastards, but oh well. )

I share bond with the Sea, its nature is my own, and mine can mould it, at times. Sometimes great, powerful things, sometimes smaller, more fine control. To that too, I know to sail, and of the way of ships, even if these are different to what I know best...
I can sing, and know by memory enough songs as to have one for every day of the year, if I must, and can do so at great length, up to many hours if required.
I additionally know all my household tasks, including cooking, cleaning, dyeing, weaving, sewing, and the field, to some extent. I know my way around sheep, goats, cattle and oxen, I know how to ride, but can walk a mile on my own if I must and have done so on pilgrimage when needed. I know my letters and numbers, to five languages and can keep stock of expenses for the care of many people as needed.
... And I dance well, if needed.
[ another consideration, one last thing. ]
Violence reviles me, and my people banned from war. I can never, nor shall ever, pick up a blade to harm another.

Until the very end, that is. )
The lady may find it difficult being here then. Unfortunately there is no end to the violence.
no subject
It is ever the course of the world, as I have seen it. I know better than to pretend it does not happen.
I just cannot inflict such pain, myself.
no subject
Not even in self-defence?

[ and it is unforgiving, what will happen.
Her assassin did not die quickly. ]

I do not have the liberty of others to decide what measure is taken in my defence completely.

My power is absolute, and it acts to protect me in only the absolute. If someone were to be so cruel, so vile to me?
They would find only pieces.
no subject
What kind of power could someone wield to have such a shocking outcome?

The sea takes no prisoners, and it never gives back what it takes.

Though I do not think you wish the answer, it is... gruesome.

Us, least amount them.

I'm a pacifist.
( Ha. )
no subject
Perhaps when our option is other than assassination and plots, that may have credence, but I fear we are no different to those we seek to depose.
