[Video: Rumors of my Death Were Precisely Accurate]

[mentornomore]

[Chime is in his groundling form, so it's only a little difficult to read his expressions. He seems quite frazzled and very tired, but if anyone saw him while he was sick, the difference is startling. He was wasted away to skin and bone, but now he's himself again, strong and solid if naturally lean and long-faced.]

 Um... Hello, everyone? Some of you might have heard that I was... gone. And I was. But I'm back now. But not back in the city. I would probably get sick again. So I'll be up in the mountains. I'm alright there. There's plenty for me to catch and eat. I'm even still helping with the hunting, and sending it back with a friend. I don't think I could have visitors. Even if someone wanted to travel as far out as I'm staying, I could get sick again. But, well, it's... It's very empty out here. I'd like to hear voices at least. If you're not busy doing anything else.

I mean for you. Especially compared to traveling by ship. It's cold and unsteady. I didn't like it very much when I was still arbora.

[kazeninaru]

Well, cold you dress for. Unsteady... we will see.

[She grins, optimistic about it despite Chime's negativity.]

Now we all just have to get well, ne?

[mentornomore]

Oh, yes, good luck. ...I don't recommend my method, though I do feel much better.

[kazeninaru]

Heh, I will not be letting a sickness kill me, I am sure of that. But thank you. You have had enough conversation for now, I hope?

[Since that's what he'd been after, and she probably ought to get back to work, anyway.]

[mentornomore]

I suppose.

[Difficult creature, this one. He's smiling wryly, by Raksura standards.]

[kazeninaru]

[She gives him a quick little salute and grins.]

Maybe I will call you again later. We can talk more about flying. Ja.

[And, after that mostly-teasing remark, she's signed off and back to work.]
