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 aren’t 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. )

( More than that, but Wen Kexing is still cautious. Hermoine might be trustworthy, but he has a lifetime of suspicion up his sleeves. )
His meridians have been damaged. ( He keeps his voice steady by sheer force of will, as though it is not killing him to speak of it. ) I don't know how much you know about those, Mistress Granger, but they're how we control our life force, our qi. One ruined is bad enough, but all seven? Imagine a tree without roots, no matter how strong it is it will die quickly. And it's already been so long for him. But I don't know how to heal them. I also do not know who to turn to. He's ... rightfully cautious. ( Who wouldn't be? ) We were seeking a cure back home, but now he's here and the help we might have had isn't.

The problem poses a mystery, of course.]
I want to be able to help, but I am not sure my potions would do it, Wen Kexing. Perhaps if I could perform diagnostic spells...

( Would Zhou Zishu trust her magic? It is both somewhat familiar and also not, the things she can do just a shade different. His naturally suspicious zhiji might take exception, however, if it saved his life ... )
Whatever help you can give I'd be in your debt for. Even if it were just ruling out that you couldn't.
