Haha, you're too kind! But I do enjoy being in the audience. The place I came from was quite fond of public performances, with some very talented storytellers.
They always leave off on the worst cliffhangers, though. There's one--Tea Master Liu Su--I think he makes it a point to do just that whenever I have time to stop by.
[He shakes his head, but he's smiling.]
Do your travels keep you? [From catching some entertainment, that is.]
Haha, well, it takes the whole village just to survive the winter, where I'm from. Many of us don't do anything terribly exciting. [fake russia be like] But you're right, it's one of the largest in the nation.
[OH... he looks curious for a moment, but ultimately decides not to ask, in favor of nodding.]
Of course. [BANDAGES... restricting. He gets it.] It's a shame our hosts didn't allow us a few more belongings, Liyue's pharmacies make quite effective salves. [He smiles, though, pushing his bangs out of his face.] They smell terrible, though.
Oh, I'm familiar with the type. [ With a smile of her own. ] I also travel with an apothecary, and while his salves and medicines are effective, they're hardly ever pleasant to use.
[ Alas, no Alfyn to fuss over her here. ]
However, I don't intend to let this delay me for long.
[Normally he'd quip that the best medicine is simply not getting hit, but that seems a little insensitive to say when she's clearly injured, so he will not. Instead!]
Haha, no, you don't seem the type who would. But I'm glad to hear it.

Mm, I'd thought you might be! Talented performers always have that certain air of grace and confidence.
[It's a compliment, and he's not even weird about it!! In this house we respect ladies who are not Signora.]
no subject
You do seem to have traces of that air yourself.
[ the confidence for certain, and the way he carries himself, though it's with less of a dancer's grace and more like someone with a purposeful air. ]

But yes. I travel with seven others and we all have goals of our own, so we so rarely stay in the same place for very long.

[Sad...
Anyway.]
I'm glad to hear you have comrades, though. Journeys are always easier with them--well, if you get along.

The bruise... is newly acquired, is it not?

[Sometimes nobody likes you so you get kicked out of the party.
But, ah, yes! He smiles, tilting his head.]
It is, yes.

I'm afraid I don't have any weapons on me, though, if that's alright.
no subject
[ Oh. ]
In a few days, perhaps? I'd like to make sure I can move without too much trouble.
[ Damn bandages. ]
no subject
Of course. [BANDAGES... restricting. He gets it.] It's a shame our hosts didn't allow us a few more belongings, Liyue's pharmacies make quite effective salves. [He smiles, though, pushing his bangs out of his face.] They smell terrible, though.

Then I shall seek you out again in a few more days.
