They are two.

( H m Mm m M mm mmm MmmmM MMMMMmm m mm Mmm m. )

But the witch might learn of healing.

And the doctor speaks strangely, as witches do.

[makemeasong]

And do you find yourself enjoying the time you spend with them?

[downswing]

They do not often intend me harm.

[makemeasong]

And you didn't answer the question. nice try though :)

Do you like being in their presence? Is it enjoyable? Do you in any way look forward to seeing them?

[downswing]

They intend me harm less often than many.


( This is the standard. )

i'm sorry for her lmao

[makemeasong]

I'm just gonna keep sending variations of the same question until you actually answer it.

Is there anyone you think of and immediately wouldn't mind visiting, because you enjoy being in their presence?

are you tho

[downswing]

Inconsequential. His absence known.

See to your safety. Deathly things threaten.

.....no

[ Clara frowns at her device; she pushed too far. He doesn't ever seem to be happy, although she doesn't know him. Maybe behind closed doors he can't stop smiling. He's married as far as she knows, does that bring him joy? She can't ask now, though. ]

I'll be alright. Always am.
besides, i have a sword now.

[downswing]

Wise, to ( 'Entrust.' ) burden you with a blade?

[makemeasong]

[ Oh, that got his attention, of course. ]

It shrinks down so I can put it in my pocket. Convenient. And when I hold it, boom, full-on sword. I mean, I think it might be a little smaller than a regular one, but it's long and sharp.

[downswing]

Convenience does not forge mastery.

[makemeasong]

blame this place, just letting people take a sword without any knowledge how to use one.

[ She gives it a second before sending: ]

Don't worry. There are at least two people here who can teach me enough to save myself.

[downswing]

Name them.


( He can think of more people who should not be allowed to impart their wisdom. )

[makemeasong]

Are you worried about me?

[downswing]

I know the proclivities of our companions.

the season ate me alive please forgive D:

[makemeasong]

Wait, what does that mean?

[ He can't say something like that and then expect her not to ask follow ups. ]

[downswing]

What words do.

[makemeasong]

Wangji WHAT are you talking about?

Who're you worried about teaching me and whom would you prefer? I met someone called Beitang who offered to help.

I could just ask the Doctor, pretty sure he knows how.

[downswing]

He is of peace.

[makemeasong]

The Doctor or Beitang?

Either way, there's a difference between being of peace and knowing a useful sill. I think I'm pretty peaceful, but this planet most definitely isn't.

[downswing]

You do not take a blade to bring peace, Clara.

You do not ask a blind man to teach sight.

[makemeasong]

[ That was two whole sentences. That was so many words. ]

I want to learn so maybe you don't have to rescue me every time something happens. You did notice that pattern, I'm guessing.

Who has your seal of approval?

[downswing]

Better a woman, or a man slight.

[makemeasong]

Got it. We've got variety in spades, here.

May I ask a question about your sword?

[downswing]

Bichen.
