If you can stay calm without making silly agreements that are
completely unnecessary.

accosted them--not that Ye Baiyi was any better about it, the way he baited
Wen Kexing. ]
I've spoken to a few of them, Hermoine already knows a little. She told me to offer you help with diagnosis but I don't know if that's what we need. Wen Qing knows the Lan. And Nynaeve al'Meara seemed knowledgeable? It's how much you want them to know.
I don't need a diagnosis; I know what's wrong with me. Both Lan
brothers suggested Wen Qing, but Lan Wangji most strongly recommended
Anduin, Nynaeve, and Hermione.
Oh! I've met Anduin. He seems useful, though I found him to be a busybody. He didn't like that I wanted to keep the hand.
( And why lose something perfectly useful, is what Wen Kexing wants to say? )
Lan Wangji might be a brat, and he might despise me, but he's too much of a hero to send us down the wrong path. I say if he's provided options those are our best choice.
You have an unhealthy attachment to that hand. In any case, he seems to
think that an outside source of sorcery may be more useful, since I've
functionally destroyed my meridians.
[ Oh, that's not fair. He's genuinely taken aback for a moment, and
it's lucky that however these devices work, they don't translate the shake
of his hand. ]

I'll see about speaking with him some more about it. And the others you mentioned. Would you prefer to be there, when I do?
no subject
( Because he is a hovering, nagging, harpy of a man.1 )
Would that bother you?

( Yes. )
But fine, I'll behave. But you'll promise me to try in turn? I know you value your pride but is it better than your life?
no subject
It's not my pride, Lao Wen. It's my freedom. I thought you, of all people, would understand that.
no subject
I'm just worried. You must understand that.
no subject
I know. I know, Lao Wen. I have a few names.
no subject
Well the sooner, the better.
no subject
I haven't quite decided how to go about this.
no subject
( And maybe some scheming from Wen Kexing. A little. )
no subject
I don't think a public post is a particularly good idea.

I suppose I'll have to reach out to them. How troublesome.

Are you passingly familiar with any of them already?

( Is he being a shithead to mask the anxiety? Absolutely yes. )
But all right. Magic, why not?
no subject
Sometimes, I really don't think you consider what you say before you say it. Or write it, in this instance.
no subject
( No, he does not. )
But come on then, shixiong. Tell me what you want me to do.
( It's a tease, as much as it is genuine question. )

Is my shidi being obedient? How rare.
