[New handwriting today, and it's quite beautiful. Those who read the original Chinese characters might appreciate the skill behind the expert strokes: flawless calligraphy, itself poetry of sorts, yet not slow and cautious but decisive, the writing emerging complete and without hesitation. Those who get a translation miss out on some of the finer points of the art, perhaps, but the effect is the same in every language.]

Warmest greetings to the residents of Edensphere.

This humble servant, the lowest of souls, begs leave to dwell among you and hereby be known, in lieu of a more appropriate name, by the character ‘Huo'.

Although I do not yet know my own measure, and indeed expect that it be the very image of mediocrity, it is my outmost desire to be of some use in the undertakings of the city. I will take up whatever profession is required, and toil in that capacity to the very best of my ability.

Sincerely, I offer my prayers of good neighborhood in the hope that they be accepted in the same spirit in which they were made.

You credit me beyond my worth; the honor is mine, and your advice rings sound. It will not be an imposition, I hope, if I were to visit the clinic to observe your work? I am curious to know what kind of medicine might be practiced in a place such as this.

I would find it no imposition at all, though before I give you full permission I ought first check with Doctor Lezard. He directs and runs the clinic; a [very tiny pause] wizard of great prowess.

As we are from many lands, so are many ways of medicine practiced here. I personally practice magical healing and soothing of wounds, but where my talents fail, the sciences of those such as Doctor Simon may step in and make up for the failing. So, too, do I endeavor to learn his way as well.

[There's a brief but clear pause before the answer appears. Huo is digesting the whole magic bit. Magic tree is one thing, magic people quite another.]

Certainly, it is he who masters both the natural and that which is beyond the natural, the seen and the unseen, who holds the greatest wisdom. Please be so kind as to inquire of your master. It sounds as though there is much of interest to see.

so late. so fail.

I thank you for your compliments, but I am no master yet, if indeed ever I might be.

Doctor Lezard is fine with it, it seems. My shifts at the clinic are [], come whenever is most convenient for you.

We are all aspirants; to be far along the path is of less importance, so long as the path itself is the correct one.

My thanks. I promise you that I will not get in your way.

[OOC: Can we log perhaps? I really want Huo to go kfdkfjhs magic ^^]
