[ Honestly, Jiaoqiu isn't sure how he wants to react, either. He's seen the things this place can do. But, on the other hand, familiarity is nice. He hasn't known anyone else that has known what a Foxian even is. ]
A new arrival. I see! Well, I'm sorry that you've arrived in such awful weather, but at least you're indoors, hm?
[ He's not sure if she knows who he is. Likely not, unless she's been on the Xianzhou Yaoqing a great deal. ]
( it's not a name she's entirely familiar with- maybe something she's heard in passing a few times, but foxians are long-lived and she was often busy with travels. ... had she known a foxian was here, she'd have stuck with the alias. shoot. she shouldn't have assumed...
... or was it just the desire to still be herself somewhere the lord ravager couldn't reach? she's not sure. )
[ The young lady certainly seems to be caught in thought, even if just for a second. Jiaoqiu doesn't let it show on his face, though. He hadn't seen a flicker of recognition, so he will just proceed as if they don't know each other. Truth be told, he doesn't, really - he only knows of her, and of what happened on the Luofu. ]
A pleasure to make your acquaintance, Miss Tingyun.
[ He folds his hand over his abdomen, bowing just slightly at the hips. ]
I am the the Xianzhou Yaoqing's military healer. If you find you aren't feeling well, please do feel free to drop by. There are several here that heal, but I am the only one familiar with Foxian biology. For obvious reasons, I'm sure.
( she returns the bow, at least. but... it's hard not to beat herself up. she shouldn't have assumed, and even if there's no sign of recognition, there's no telling how much is his poker face or not. )
That's a relief- I'm sure they'd try, but I'm not sure I'm too fond of having to go through trial and error. Though, my medical history is a bit... complex.
[ The way that she says it is interesting, and piques his curiosity. But he won't pry - not yet, at any rate. If she ever needs medical treatment, however, he will ask. It's important for one's doctor to know, after all. ]
Indeed! I've been here for a couple of months - I'd begun to get used to seeing a distinct lack of ears and fluffy tails. Throw in a starskiff or two in the sky, and it might start feeling just like home.
[ He laughs good-naturedly. He doesn't think this place has air travel. ]
Ah, but Miss Tingyun. I know that you have been taking care of the inn, but have you been taking care of yourself? How about we sit down to a nice meal?
Oh, if only. Maybe we'd get more answers about this world. ... And it'd just be nice. An empty sky is lovely, but if its for too long... it just feels strange.
( but maybe that's just her.
...
she doesn't want to think about that, actually. but she perks up- while tingyun tries to take care of herself, yes, things have been rough. it's hardly anyone's fault, and she doesn't know how to even begin putting her life back together in this place- the inn's been a good distraction.
... it just... sounds nice.
like coming home. )
I do my best, don't worry. ... But that sounds lovely.

Still, it's nice to see someone from home.
