[ young master yiguo gets his pets, because of course he does! she adores him! she is pleased that he has accepted her again, despite smelling weird. sorry buddy. she takes a moment to indulge him, half-ignoring fei du.

though she does eventually look up, incredulous, from her spot nearly on the floor. ]


She isn't my keeper, you know. [ this is a lie. ] But yes, I did tell her. We are capable of being apart every once in a while.

[ they're both still independent even though they're in lesbians with each other, so it's fine. it has to be, since shenhe isn't here right now anyway. ]

Lucky for you, I still know how to heal. And I don't need a pin to do it.

[ true, shenhe would never restrict nahri's independence, but she certainly hovers around to make sure nahri is fed and comfortable and safe. it is very cute and endearing. sneaking away would only scare her, so nahri was less of a little rat about communicating with her this go-around. shenhe will have her turn too, anyway, if this whole dimension-hopping thing works. so it's fine! everything is fine, ]

Hm. I guess I should check that first.

[ so as much as she doesn't want to stop spoiling yiguo, she just. gets up and leaves. bye.

there's rustling around in the kitchen - drawers being opened, silverware being rattled around - and then she comes back with a knife! cool! except she knows how this looks, so the moment she's back through the doorway she's trying explain. ]


So, you might remember how my healing is supposed to work. It works in Teyvat, so there's no reason for it to not work here. [ then again, there was no reason for it to not work in the underground either, but it didn't. ] If I can't heal myself, then uh... We'll figure out a second plan.

[ ok nahri. "we." but without further hesitation, she slices the side of her thumb - somewhere not as dramatic as her palm, and won't be nearly as much of a hindrance if her healing doesn't work.

except a second after she starts to bleed, the wound closes itself. she looks fairly impassive, because she did expect this to work. though a demonstration seemed necessary. also she kind of likes showing off now that she's back to being god-tiered. ]


Looks like it works to me. Although it'd be too suspicious if I healed you all the way, I can make things a little easier for you.

[ there's also the matter that healing other people isn't as straight forward as it is for herself nor how it was when she had healing aura - the one good thing she could say about the psych. but he doesn't need to know that part. ]
