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. )

We have worked with them before, yes.

( There's maybe a level of frenetic energy in his voice, like he's not sure he has the time to dance around something politely. )
When I say damaged I mean it. Potentially fatally damaged if I don't find someone useful soon.

[ He's never known his sister doing anything that wasn't successful. Though, he's also taken note of that energy shift in Kexing's voice. ]
If you wish we can speak more of it in private.
[ So that he's not airing just how fatally damaged this person's meridians were. Or if Kexing wanted the one in question to meet him or his sister or both. ]
no subject
( His desperation makes him a little lax, he knows it. ) I can bring him to come and find you both, if that's more agreeable?

( Actually earnest this time. )
I'll be in touch.

[ Anything to help. ]
You can contact me any time.
