Could I interest anyone in classes for basic first aid?

[The slim, white snake that some people may remember from the last time a post attached to this username was put on the network is looped around the green-haired doctor's neck and looking directly into the camera with oddly human-looking eyes, her forked tongue flicking out now and then.

Baizhu's voice is light, casual. He looks well.]

I'm sure we have people here very talented in healing magic, but with the strangeness of this world you never know when knowing how to correctly apply a tourniquet or treat a burn on the spot might come in useful. We do seem to be being encouraged to expand our skill sets, no?

[The doctor smiles.]

I can be sure to find a location that suits the level of interest but having some people to assist on the teaching side wouldn't go amiss either. Do let me know, and I'll make the arrangements.

[Snake, meet dragon. Also white and noodle-shaped. And cheeping. Draped on Hakkai's shoulders like a scarf. Wow. Twins?]

Oh, I would be happy to assist if need be. I'm a healer myself, actually.

[physicianhealthyself]

[Wow, reptile twinsies. Changsheng lifts her head up in idle curiosity, focusing on the dragon rather than the man.]

Ah, is that so? What manner of healing do you have skill in?

[Baizhu has learned that there are many different kinds, after all... and some he might want to learn more about himself.]

[knowsvinewhip]

[Likewise, Jeep thinks Changsheng is very interesting. He doesn't get to see anything that looks like himself very often!]

First aid, primarily. But I have an ability that allows me to encourage a body to heal itself at a rapid rate. It's a form of energy manipulation.

[And you know, takes a lot out of him, but oh well.]

[physicianhealthyself]

Ah..? I have a similar ability myself.

[How curious, but Baizhu's interest has clearly been piqued.]

Would you object to telling me more about it?

[knowsvinewhip]

Truly? Was that a power you had before arriving in this place as well?

Oh, not at all. Would you prefer to continue in this way, or in person?

[physicianhealthyself]

In a manner of speaking.

[The snake on his shoulder lets out a small noise, a quiet 'hmm' that could be interest or disapproval, depending on how one wants to see it. She gives Baizhu a look that he does his best to ignore.]

I would prefer to speak face to face. This manner of communication is awfully impersonal.

[knowsvinewhip]

I see.

[Hakkai just smiles. Blandly. Internally the curiosity is strong, but... that's probably best to downplay.]

Ah, of course. Where would you prefer to meet?

[physicianhealthyself]

That may depend entirely upon where you are at the moment. I reside in Sunwaning, on the Solarpeak side.

[It's the best spot for his health, so here he will stay, though he can certainly travel.]

And yourself?

[noarchitact]

I can heal thanks to my seasonal powers, but I wouldn't mind learning some basic first aid outside of that. I have been forced to learn a lot on the fly because of a number of... interesting circumstances.

[physicianhealthyself]

Hmm..? Not pleasantly interesting, I would suspect?

[Just a guess.]

But a wise move. It would be prudent to not rely entirely upon magic.

[noarchitact]

...not at all. [ a good guess. ] I don't want to always have to rely on them in the off chance that something should happen and I'm incapable of doing so. And Mehrak would like to learn too, although he might not be capable of everything I'd also like him to know the basics. [ so he can at least potentially stabilize somebody before hurrying off to fetch help. ]

[physicianhealthyself]

Mehrak? A friend of yours?

[Not that he's going to object to people bringing other people along but he does need to make a note for a general idea of numbers.]

You're welcome to invite as many people as you'd like to come with you.

Pii pi pi~

[noarchitact]

My tool box! [ mehrak's already popped up to say hello. ] And that's great. Maybe I can drag Alhaitham along...

[physicianhealthyself]

Ah, Alhaitham might be interested as well? What luck the two of us are already acquainted.

[And he's terribly curious about that toolbox... What a fascinating little gadget.]

It would be a pleasure to have all three of you along, I'm sure.

[noarchitact]

Oh? [ he looks a bit surprised. has he been going out and making friends? ] How do you know Alhaitham?

[ poor baizhu doesn't know what's in store for him. ]

[pedagogies]

I know some but I wouldn't mind a refresher course.

[ it never hurts to know. ]

[physicianhealthyself]

If you'd be so kind as to detail what you know, it would be helpful to have an idea of your capabilities.

[He smiles.]

I wouldn't want to belittle your skills.

[pedagogies]

There isn't much to belittle.

I can apply some generic first aid. Bandages, medicines. But that is as far as it goes.

[physicianhealthyself]

Aha, well, at least you're honest.

[He assumes, but it doesn't really matter if he knows more and prefers not to say so!]

I'm sure I can show you a new thing or two, at the very least. I don't want to go too in depth... I may put myself out of a job.

[pedagogies]

I can assure you, it's very unlikely I can replace you. Witches aren't allowed to learn medicine.

[physicianhealthyself]

[Oh, now that's interesting... for a couple of reasons.]

Are not allowed, or are incapable?

[pedagogies]

We're not allowed. It is part of the rules we must follow.

[politicallyinclined]

I would be very interested. (Any time she can learn useful techniques that could save lives, she is ready and willing!) I'm afraid I can't help with teaching, but I assure you I am a fine student.

[physicianhealthyself]

Wonderful! And not to worry, it seems I have a couple of pairs of hands for that.

[Baizhu gives the young woman a warm smile.]

And your name is..?
