There's a music studio just up the way, if you like. A few people use it--a female guitarist whose name escapes me at the moment, and I know Vanya's in there with her violin on occasion.

[onlymusic]

I could do that.

[powerisyours]

You're free to do as you wish while you're here.

[onlymusic]

All right. But if there's anything...

[powerisyours]

There's no point in offering; you would have to anyway.

[onlymusic]

[nods]

I know, and it wasn't an offering.

[powerisyours]

Then?

[onlymusic]

I'm just saying that you have a habit of doing a lot of things on your own.

[powerisyours]

Because it is my job to do so. And your job is to give support where needed.

[onlymusic]

[your definition of need isn't always the best]

... yes, Meng Zhu.

[powerisyours]

[ because most of it I can do on my own :I It's my job ]

So go, enjoy yourself.

[onlymusic]

[you know what I think about that]

... aah. I'll take a look around, then.

[powerisyours]

[ It is my job dwi ]

You should be able to handle almost anything you run across, here.

[onlymusic]

[I am dealing with it all the time]

"Almost"?

[powerisyours]

This place has ways of making us powerless from time to time.

[onlymusic]

... I'm not sure I like the sound of that.

[powerisyours]

You learn to live with it. After the third or fourth time of having your Yi Neng yanked completely out of you, it doesn't hurt as much anymore.

[onlymusic]

[okay no that's definitely not what I wanted to hear]

... has that happened?

[powerisyours]

A few times. Once was an accident, and it came back shortly afterwards. There's a young man here with the ability to negate any spiritual or magical energy with his right hand.

[onlymusic]

...I see.

Please just... be careful, Meng Zhu.

[powerisyours]

There is nothing I can do about it. You almost never know when or where it will happen.

[onlymusic]

Aah...

[powerisyours]

I do try to avoid, where possible.

[onlymusic]

[nods]

That's good.

[powerisyours]

It's all one can really do, here.
