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.

Do you have medicine for the pain? [He really can't help himself. Xingchen is drawn to wounded strangers, okay.]

[50000baht]

[Ah, he easily recognizes the priest from the temple. A small smile as he nods his head. ]

Yes, thank you. Khun Wen--ah, Wen Qing, has been taking care of me on the break.

[gentledawn]

Then you are in good hands. [He relaxes visibly and smiles.] If there is anything else you need, please ask.

[50000baht]

I will.

[ He has a decent network of healers here, which Kinn hopes he will never have to utilize on a regular basis. ]

I do have a question. What is your experience with people who call themselves 'bone setters'?

[gentledawn]

I have not dealt with any personally, but I know of the art. [Which leads him to...] You must be certain someone is genuine, however. There are many who lie.

[50000baht]

Genuine as in how?

[ Because so far, the one they found was quite honest. ]

[gentledawn]

Those who practice the proper techniques are genuine.

[50000baht]

What are the proper techniques?

[ Basically, this is a hindsight thing.]

[gentledawn]

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.

[50000baht]

[Nods attentively. ]

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

[gentledawn]

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

[50000baht]

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

[gentledawn]

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

[50000baht]

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.

[gentledawn]

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

[50000baht]

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.

[gentledawn]

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.

[50000baht]

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

[gentledawn]

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.

[50000baht]

...Return your eyes?

[gentledawn]

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

[50000baht]

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.

[gentledawn]

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.

[50000baht]

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

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

[gentledawn]

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