Hi.

[Here is Kinn, waving a little haphazardly.]

So, I'm out of commission for a few weeks.

[With a wan smile, he lifts up his splinted arm.]

I guess I got off lucky. So what do I do to entertain myself while I'm laid up?

[and have a smarmy smirk with a wink]

I'm left handed, after all.

Those who practice the proper techniques are genuine.

What are the proper techniques?

[ Basically, this is a hindsight thing.]

A genuine bone-setter from my land would know how to manipulate the pressure points. They would also be aware that physical injuries can have a spiritual component.

[Nods attentively. ]

I see. And if they're not from your world?

They might have a different understanding of how bodies function. Yet I would still expect them to be knowledgeable.

Well, this one seems knowledgable enough. I have my arm still, and aside from some swelling and pain, it seems okay.

Then you are healing. Pain and swelling are expected as your body adapts. Make sure there is no redness or heat, however.

So far, so good. Thank you.

They're saying it'll take a couple more weeks for it to be fully healed, which is nothing short of some miracle. I'm more accustomed for bones taking two to three months to heal.

I am relieved you met a genuine healer. Those who are skilled can limit the healing time extensively - as you see!

I saw it when Vegas was recovering. We were apprehensive at first. We don't have this kind of skill back home. And the medical technology we have there is very different to here.

Taking chances can be good when intentions are pure. I learned some healing techniques from my Master, but I have expanded my knowledge in Jikan.

Oh? What have you learned here that is new for you?

I was able to return my eyes, undo a curse on my Zichen and return an arm. Between my golden core - the source of my spiritual power - and Jikan's magic, much is possible.

...Return your eyes?

I gave them to Zichen when his were ruined by poison.

Wait...you gave them.

This is something that doesn't happen from my world. Ever. Unless the donor is dead and there's a team of surgeons.

Yes. My Master is very talented. She managed it on a mountainside.

It was very painful and the pain continued after. But I didn't mind.

[He still can't wrap his head around this. But he smiles politely. ]

That's an amazing thing. Your master isn't here, right?

No. She remains on her mountain. [As it should be, though he misses her.]

[It just one less person he has to be concerned about.]

Do you think they know? The people back home know that we're gone?

I don't think so. When I first arrived I was told we will return just as we left. No time will pass.

[He sits on that for a while. ]

I don't know if that's a blessing or a curse.

A bit of both. [He sighs quietly.] I don't think we'll remember being here.

That's....unfortunate.

[ Because he doesn't want to forget Riley. And the progress Vegas has made, here. It seems... ]

It's cruel.

Yes, it is. Yet...

Don't take this blessing for granted. While we have it, we should enjoy it.
