[Wujiu's been inside for the most part, keeping to himself, occasionally having to lie down against the pounding of his head, the claws coming from within him. Sometimes he talks to himself, murmuring in two different voices.

It's on a slightly better day that he pokes his head out to see the bag. Curious, he opens it, but it doesn't click until he unscrews the vial and sniffs it. That smell comes back to him, along with the hot fury that had accompanied his first time tasting that.

He stares at it for a long time, debating, but then raises it to his lips. For a bit...he'll cut back his confusion just for a bit.

She'll be getting a message a little later]

did you leave those things by my door?

[medicative]

What are you referring to, Mr. Fan?

[frankly, she'd expected him to simply take the assortment with no words said. perhaps toss the antidote. it wasn't something she expected to be thanked for or ever acknowledged - it was simply something she did on impulse while she debated telling the others that she'd fought Wujiu at all. they would worry, ask what happened and why.

she can't expect them to feel the same way she does, where she can't hold a clouded mind against him.]

[stillraining]

[ she gets a somewhat blurry photograph of the items in response. Joseph Desaulniers he's not.]

this is the medicine you gave me right ?

[medicative]

It is. It is a relief to see it wasn't stolen or otherwise damaged.

[it would be easy for a stray youkai to burrow into it, after all.]

[stillraining]

thank you
why?

[it's only marginally less graceful than if he would have been talking face to face. He actually can say the thanks instead of blurting out the second part first at least.

[medicative]

Call it presumptuous, but I didn't know if you'd have any first aid supplies in your apartment. As for the medicine, better to have it and not need it than to need and not have. The rains haven't stopped, after all.

[stillraining]

i'll use it since i know it's yours.
[It had worked, after all. And it's not that he'll definitely use it, but...well, he knows it's not some sort of trick, at least. It's a gut instinct, but he has a feeling she wouldn't poison him.]
did you make the sandwiches yourself?

[medicative]

Yes. I made too much for my meal and didn't wish to waste it.

[a transparent lie, but she's offering him an excuse to take.]

Received seven minutes later

[stillraining]

they were good. i liked the egg one.

[medicative]

I'm glad they meet with your approval. The rest will keep for a few days, if you place them somewhere mildly cool.

[stillraining]

are there more?

[medicative]

Did you already eat all four?

[stillraining]

i wasn't supposed to?

[medicative]

If I did not know better, I'd call your appetite alarming.

[stillraining]

why?

[medicative]

For a regular human, one should have been sufficient. Overconsumption should be an error, not a habit, lest one develop many complications.

However, I know you are not a regular human.

[stillraining]

it never bothered me before, either. i needed a lot of energy. but yeah, it's been a while since then.

[medicative]

It might be beneficial if you begin to think of it being closer to "back then". Aside from what gifts our youkai grant us, we are still mortal.

[stillraining]

[Oh, but Emily, that means...]

then there's no problem right? there's two of us, and we're doing a lot.

[medicative]

As long as you mind your own limits, there will not be a problem.
