To uphold what my sect, the sect that I belong to, has taught me and be righteous and protect those who cannot defend themselves. If he would join me sometimes, I would be glad for the company, but his path is his and mine is mine.
It... when we first met, it was on the ship. There were memories missing because of the mirror. But if she will have it, I would like to learn about her, too. And from her.
[ ... also another trained healer shouldn't be a bad thing, right? ]
Sizhui. For a fortnight, wed caution: food dried and broth-barren. Brews steeped in your cup. Bathe in waters unmisted. Sleep in no quarters marked. Cleanse your cloths. Accept no gifts. Touch no strange hands or inks.
Sizhui, I have your father's cure in the works, and Jiang Cheng's—my martial uncle's, if you give me the word he needs it still.
How are you. Are you safe, are you injured? If you've been dealing with the necromancers, have you been taking more care than even your father would, facing down Jin Guangyao?
Senior Wei, I am sorry for being too useless, I have been trying to follow a cure as it has been suggested that the Necromancers might have one. Other than failing to complete that, I have been well.
Be careful of their word, it's as couched in hidden meanings as the political ones back home. Better to have failed in that, I think, Sizhui. Not a loss of honour.
No. Give nothing inherent of yourself to them. It leads to no good, Sizhui, these people have no code they follow without finances to provide them with a reason, or fear to hold them pinned to better morals.
Senior Wei, with an intact core, I would be better suited to withstand malicious intent. If it becomes necessary, you could teach some of your greater skill and experience, but I if it is a core that is needed, I cannot give that to you.
[ And he knows what the world is like with Senior Wei gone, and. No. ]
I've spent years dealing with overwhelming malicious intent, without a core. It's not the unshakeable buffer you have reason to believe it to be, Sizhui.
This isn't a discussion. You will donate no blood to the necromancers or those working with them here. That includes me.
