[The screen focuses on a slim, pale man with light green hair and golden eyes. There is a white snake wrapped around his neck, peering at the camera with a similar intensity to the man himself as he ensures that he has set the thing up correctly.

When he realises that he has, his expression clears and settles into a mild, warm smile.]

Ah, there we are.

[His voice is soft, faintly lilted almost as if he's always on the edge of gently chastising someone, but he keeps it pleasant as he speaks.]

My name is Baizhu, a doctor, pharmacist and herbalist from the country of Liyue in Teyvat. I find myself brought into this curious situation with the rest of you, and thought it only polite to offer an introduction along with an offer of my services.

[He pauses, thinking for a moment.]

... Though the advancements of this world when compared to my own may render a good amount of my medical expertise entirely outdated, I believe that some here may still find more comfort in turning to it than relying on more unfamiliar methods.

[Another brief pause, the snake on his shoulders flicks out her tongue, and he smiles again.]

To that end, I would be curious to meet other individuals who have experience in the medical field. I can hardly miss the opportunity to develop my own studies further with the potential of knowledge from other worlds. Please feel free to contact me at your leisure if you're interested.

...the trials... (She has never been a fighter or a healer. Now she is even less powerful than ever. She is just a girl caught in a strange world.)

What would we do without them? (The hero-types, that is.) If you need an assistant, I would be happy to help.

[physicianhealthyself]

Oh, I'm hardly in a position to be requiring an assistant at the moment. But should I happen to need one in the future, I'll remember that you offered.

[Perhaps somewhere down the line when he's become more established, he might have cause to need someone on-hand to help with things in the way Herbalist Gui always does at the pharmacy.]

What would your name be?

[paddra_nsu_yeul]

That's fair. Thank you for considering me.

(In the future, that is. Yeul is just eager to learn...anything, really. Being free has opened so many possibilities for her.)

I am Yeul.

[physicianhealthyself]

Yeul. I shall be sure to not forget it.

[Though he will also make a note just in case, of both her given name and the one attached to her message on this device.]

Just what has you so interested in medicine?

[paddra_nsu_yeul]

I was a Seer for many lifetimes; I lived and I died, sharing my visions with the world. That world has ended. I can live freely and I want to help others.

(She is much too small to fight, so... Healing seems best.)

[physicianhealthyself]

Ah...

[Baizhu hums thoughtfully.]

Then are you looking to be someone's assistant, or their pupil? You ought to be honest about your intentions.

[Says the hypocrite... but this may well come to involve him and he would not like to disappoint the girl by not being able to be something that she would expect.]

[paddra_nsu_yeul]

I would likely begin as a pupil. {At least she is honest about that.} But I can learn fast!

[physicianhealthyself]

[That is a little different. Baizhu lets out a soft sigh.]

If you'd like, I can teach you the basics of herbalism to begin with. It should be a good way to evaluate your potential.
