't is reaching the time of year where the seasonal festivities lean more into the colder regions of this world.

[Baizhu's voice holds its usual gentle, almost lazy tone. The background shows him to be in his shop, with the wall behind him lined with dozens of small drawers. There's a white snake with pink eyes draped loosely around his shoulders.]

With that being the case I would venture all to be mindful of their health, particularly when moving quickly between colder and warmer areas. If anyone finds themselves with a need for herbal supplements, tinctures, or teas to support immunity and good health, I would invite you to visit my pharmacy in Sunwaning.

[A smile. He adjusts his glasses.]

I can also offer information, advice, and patient appointments, on request.

[roundandaround]

Oh, thanks a lot! That reminds me, I do need to get a lot more potions and stuff. I kinda used most of them... and gave away the rest.

[physicianhealthyself]

I do hope you weren't giving away anything specifically prescribed for you, Miss Rinku.

[roundandaround]

No, definitely not! I was already done with the pain medication and stuff from after the time I got hurt by the Frost Mass a couple months ago. And Esme-kun needed healing, not my ADHD medication! So it was just the stuff you can get at the store!

[physicianhealthyself]

[A soft laugh.]

Of course. You would never be so irresponsible as that.

[He's only teasing a little.]

Did you have a mind for the kinds of things you need?

[roundandaround]

[Rinku deflates a little with an embarrassed noise.]

Hm... I know I had some painkiller stuff, some general healing potions, cold medicine... What usually goes in a first-aid kit? Some of this stuff I used up way back during the riots, so I forget.

[Not that he needs it anytime soon... but...

Well, there was that one time he got sick, but that was more complicated.]

< You got anything to help heal birds? >

[physicianhealthyself]

[Oh, well that's disorienting. He seems to rally quite quickly from the surprise, though.]

Treating birds would not normally be within my range of expertise, but do you happen to be speaking of yourself?

[birdboyblue]

< Yeah. I'm not sick now, but was once back home. Had a friend - her dad, a vet - treat me. Long story. >

[physicianhealthyself]

I may need to hear a little of that story.

[But colour him intrigued.]

May I venture to assume that you are no ordinary bird?

[wingbound]

[ thanks for using video, Baizhu, or Levi would have never figured out that username is hiding someone he knows... ]

Do you sell loose medicinal herbs, as well?

[ He's got a few locals he's been collaborating with in his attempt of medicinal teas, but this guy is actually a doctor -- and, well, Levi likes him so far. It could be fun to make something together. ]

[physicianhealthyself]

Of course. Though if a large amount is required I do need some advance notice.

[Since he would need to make some arrangements.]

Are you well, Levi?

[wingbound]

I'm fine. [ More or less... but at least he doesn't presently have ailments that he thinks remedies would help with. ] I've been trying to make my own tea blends, and I've added medicinal herbs to some. I got positive reviews so I'm interested in trying some different ones.

[ He says this like he's actually already running a legitimate tea business that gets "reviews" but he's just been sending multiple bags of various infusions to all his (former) squad members and demanding they give him feedback in the form of reports. ]

[physicianhealthyself]

Ah, I see! In that case, I may have some recommendations. I dabble in such things myself, though it isn't my main focus.

[He's a doctor, after all.]

If you'd like to come by, I can show you what I have here.

[wingbound]

Good, then I won't have to explain the basic details.

[ This sounds like it could get productive! ]

And that sounds good to me. What time works for you?

[ It's probably best that he doesn't show up during peak hours when Baizhu might be dealing with an increased flow of customers. ]

[halfacopy]

Tea can help with health?

[physicianhealthyself]

It certainly can. Are you feeling unwell?

[halfacopy]

No, no, I feel fine.

I'm just curious about that stuff.

[physicianhealthyself]

I can never fault curiosity. Is there a particular aspect you'd like to hear about?

[halfacopy]

Kind of everything?

Like I read a whooooole bunch for this genetic disease, but that person got better now, but I'm still super interested in that stuff, but its also a whole lot when you're not looking at something specifically.

[ashenrose]

Do you offer sweets on request too?

[Said in the tone of a child trying to sound more grown-up than she is, but the giggle that follows rather dispels that illusion. Hi Baizhu, hi, can she come visit and raid the candy jar??]

[physicianhealthyself]

[Oh, Mary.]

Only to very special customers.

[bigdearsnowman]

[He's not sick yet but he is intrigued. But also...]

What kind of teas do you have on hand?

[physicianhealthyself]

[A soft hum.]

Are you looking for a particular effect, or simply curious about my current selection?

[bigdearsnowman]

Simply curious.

[Can't go wrong with a good tea sometimes. Especially if the person selling does have medicinal knowledge.]

[physicianhealthyself]

[Nod.]

Then, of course.

[He sets the camera down so he can take a seat, then politely and patiently talks Zayne through the range of herbal teas he currently has prepared. There's a wide range - from ones to soothe stomach aches, to ones for headaches, to others for anxiety and restful sleep.]
