You as well. You may call me Sect Leader Nie, by the way, if Huaisang gives you any difficulty...
[He's noticed not everyone does great with that, also it's nice to still hear his title from people besides Jin Ling.]
I'd say it's nice to see you, if I could see much of you at all-- but I hope you don't mind if I didn't need much? It's just that I've already spoken with the others, and it seemed rude to leave you out...
It's important to properly address our guests, sir, but if you'd prefer I'll refer to your title then. [Also it's easier for me, Ty, because weh.]
Our guests are allowed to call for us for anything they may need, even if it's just the company. [She tilts her head though.] Is your eyesight troubling you as well?
It's okay! It'll be alright! [Will it. Uh. She's just going to pacify him please don't cry that's so bad for guest relations.] I'm sure this won't last forever! We've been looking into it since we've heard the news. Nothing quite like this has happened in this house, but maybe it'll just...go away on its own?
[Unfortunately he is going to cry anyway, eyes welling up even as she tries to pacify him.]
But what if it doesn't! I can't even draw or practice calligraphy like this, much less paint even if I did have the supplies, and if I drop my fan it'll surely end up broken if I can't find it immediately-- I won't be able to see anything dangerous, either..
[That's last on the list of concerns, apparently.]
Wait, but if there's something dangerous then I don't want to see it!
I've read about some blind painters...you could still try if you really wanted to! [But also maybe it's great that he's blind so he can't see her making a "what the fuck" face at his priorities.]
There's nothing dangerous in this house! And even if there were would a fan really hurt it, sir?
That's very kind of you to say, but I know what my reputation is like...
[His reputation sucks, he's never been much of a cultivator, just look at his profile. There's a shake of his head, though.]
I'm not used to fighting at all! I had one or two as part of my collection, but I don't know what would have happened had I ever tried to use them as anything but a cultivation tool.
[His brow furrows a little, and he holds his fan close.]
My elder brother was Sect Leader before me. I never really intended to take over for him, but Da-ge suffered an early death, and his sworn brothers supported installing me as his replacement. They've helped me ever since-- I really don't know what I would do without Brother Xichen and Brother Guangyao, they always know exactly what to do. If only they were here...
[....oh. Well. That sure makes her sad!! THE TRAGIC LOSS OF A FAMILY MEMBER, RESPONSIBILITY THRUST UPON SOMEONE WHO WAS ALREADY STRUGGLING...WOE.]
That must be incredibly hard on you. I'm sorry your brothers aren't here for you now but there must be others here that can help you? [There are. Way too many guests in this house.]
Oh, some of them have been! Young master Kenzaki is very kind, when he's... able to find our room-- and so are a few of the others. Young master Jin helps in his own way.
[he's a little shit teen but he hasn't left him to suffer so he's fine.]
And all three of you have been helpful as well; I really am grateful.
I gave him a map earlier! I hope it's been helping at least a little...I haven't spoken to Jin yet, but I hope to eventually should he ever need anything.
But that's what we're here for! Anything you could need, please ask. We'll do our best to accommodate where we can.
You really are much better hosts than the master of the house has proven to be...
[his fan covers his mouth there, though, immediately looking contrite.]
Ah- I'm sure he must be very busy, though! I truly don't wish to speak ill of someone I don't know, it's only that I don't know just what to make of this arrangement, or of the lack of proper introductions and the shortage of beds-- please, forget I said anything, miss Peach-
You apologize a lot as well, don't you Sect Leader Nie? I understand how you feel. It must be confusing not to meet with Master Blue after you accepted the invitation, but the Master's very tied up at the moment. Our apologies.
[you know, that's the kind of thing people say when someone is like. literally, physically tied up. is this a hostage situation. have the furries taken over. this is my own conspiracy theory now.]
It was somewhat rude of me to say, of course the apologies were necessary...
[he doesn't want any ill will this early? he likes living.]
But I do appreciate that the three of you, at least, have been here to help us.
I appreciate it...Master Blue really does try to do what's best but sometimes it gets a bit messy. That's what we're here for! So long as we're around we can try to make things better.
It really would... it's a little scary to see so much of this behavior, honestly, none of the discussion conferences were this bad even when the Great Sects disagreed...

[A sniffle, there, as he shakes his head and holds the fan with both hands, as if it'll reassure him.]
But I suppose you have a point. This isn't a war fan at all-- maybe it could bruise, if I could hit hard enough, but-
[But look at him. He's almost definitely not a hard hitter.]
no subject
I'm sure you're very capable and you just don't know it yet! [Press X to doubt.] Are you used to having a war fan to fight?
