Ahem.

[The video reveals a rather proper looking young girl (ignore the old blood stains on her dress), sat in front of a rather impressive sprawl of vials, jars, and herbs.]

I am Sieglinde Sullivan, and though I have made some of your acquaintances, there are far more of you than one can expect me to know- so please consider this my formal introduction.

[She pauses, until. Yes, that's right, no one could reply yet.]

My true purpose in contacting you all is to find out who among you is capable of healing, whether that be in the scientific or magical sense. I am aware of some of you, but I could use some assistance in the production of potions and salves if there are any among you competent with such things.

Even someone unskilled could be of use if you are willing to learn and have a steady hand.

I would also appreciate the chance to speak more leisurely with those who may have knowledge of healing methods different from those of my own.

I await your contact with pleasure.

[ don't bring over any trashy boyfriend types by accident. ]

Yo, Sieg, you sure you have enough space? [ does she even realize how much she works. it's so much Masamune falls asleep and takes naps for her sometimes when he has nothing better to do. ]

[grunehexe]

[sh- she would never, just forget her last crush was on a demon]

I do not have as much as I need, but it will have to do-

[well she can't bluff, he knows the size of her room...]

... with perhaps another window open for ventilation.

[inroad]

[ oh god although in her defense-- ]

You plan on putting some out the window, too? [ it's gonna be the science or the scientist out the window eventually, and he's legitimiately starting to wonder if he has to be concerned about the choice that will be made.

he knows she's good at it but she does it like he does when he runs off to fight with yukimura not because it's necessary but because it's fun to the both of them. it's like kojuro with his garden. ...well, ok that's a pretty special situation on its own, but close enough. ]

[grunehexe]

... The space between the buildings could be used for drying the herbs.

[What a good idea, Masamune- and here she was just planning to keep them open for the fumes!]

[inroad]

[ fsjkhfsdh ]

You can't just treat it like laundry!

[grunehexe]

Well of course I would cover them- they must be protected from the elements.

[Obviously that makes it different from laundry.]

[inroad]

...Hold on. You're not old enough to be okay with wearing wet clothes you should protect your laundry too.

[ because somehow he doesn't see her making a break to collect hanging clothes when she's in the middle of her made science projects and that's if she had 100% mobility to do so. if he had any lingering doubts she had someone who took care of her back home, they are gone. ]

[grunehexe]

I am not sure what you mean at all.

[... because she. Hasn't really done laundry properly since they arrived- beyond spot scrubs to get out stains and blood best she can. Of course she's given her dress a good airing... and stocked up on sachets of herbs to mask the scent, but.

Yeah, doing laundry is not anything near what she knows how to do properly... or even thinks to do.]

[inroad]

[ . . .

man masamune is a spoiled brat himself and he knows about laundry!! forget he's like twice her age okayokay...

...sigh he is making sure she gets new clothes at some point, this is unacceptable!! his historical counterpart also is particularly known to have a really high sense of what's fashionable and suitable and what isn't. ]

We need to fix that at some point.

UN: adlantisag - voice;

[adlantisag]

I can heal, though it is not I who does the healing--but I would like to learn more.

I have helped make salves before, though certainly the ingredients here would be different. If you need aid, Sieglinde, I volunteer.

[grunehexe]

How is that you heal without it being your action?

[Now that sounds curious-]

I have firsthand knowledge of the steadiness of your hands, so your help would be most welcome.

[grunehexe]

I simply have far more important things to be doing with my time and coin- you understand.

[If he didn't drag her away from her things she likely wouldn't even eat sleep, honestly.]

[hardtohandle]

[There is a low whistle,] You've been busy, haven't you? And even offering to teach others on top of it...

[adlantisag]

My pendant. You did not see it, but before I bid you come to the inn I had used it to heal some small wounds. For anything beyond a scrape, however--for that I needed your skill.

[grunehexe]

I had been meaning to ask you about that crystal- it's magic is independent of your own abilities, then?

[grunehexe]

I have made sure to keep so, yes.

[... for more reasons than one.]

[adlantisag]

Yes, and no. It is like a reservoir. On me, the effect is passive--it heals without my having to ask. But if I need to draw it out, I can only do so in small increments.

[ Maybe because the gem itself is small? It's like cupping water out of a lake. ]

[grunehexe]

Is it keyed specifically to your life force? Or simply to its wearer's?

[Anything of this nature, and she can't help but be curious.]

[adlantisag]

The latter, I suspect. All Atlanteans wear one. I have worn it since my birth, and I will die with it.

[ It's, for all extents and purposes, magical. In reality, it's a sliver of a primordial alien superpower from beyond the cosmos, but, hey, who's counting. ]

[hardtohandle]

There's no harm in taking a break now and then, you know? You'll get wrinkles if you keep it up.

[grunehexe]

Atlanteans... as in the lost island of Atlas?

[now hold on one minute]

[grunehexe]

I am far too youthful for wrinkles, sir- I am in my prime.

[She's in the spring of her youth, okay?]

[adlantisag]

[ Who's Atlas? ]

Yes. Atlantis is my city.

[hardtohandle]

You'll get gray hairs by 25, if you keep at it so hard...

[grunehexe]

... Is your city above or below the ocean?

[If people could come from different worlds and times... hey, it bore asking.]
