I have not hated you in a long time, Dan Feng. You have frightened me, and made me angry, but that is not hate.
No? Is it not proof enough that I let you kiss me, and have me? If I hated you, I would not allow it.
I don't know, the preceptors, probably? What's it to you, anyway?
[ Yeah he sounds familiar, but she's absolutely positive it's not the voice of any of the preceptors. ]

Oh... yeah, some people can be hard to deal with. But it sounds like he's worth it to you?
[ She's guessing, or else Val wouldn't be glad to have him around. ]

[Fortunately, that hand is letting go of her hair.
Unfortunately, this is so whoever it is can try and pick her up to physically throw her into the pond.
This is enough for her to squirm in that grip, though- so she can see exactly who is trying to dunk her into the (admittedly shallow) pond- someone who has Dan Heng's face, one horn broken, and Dan Heng has never looked so hateful.]

You can't die.
[ tiredly ]
Not unless I had no other choice.

[ She is indeed squirming for all she's worth, trying very hard to make herself hard to hold onto even as she finally gets a glimpse of him. ]
Hey, wait a minute, you--
[ And then she's being dunked and she gasps, more surprised than anything else (it's not like she'd drown). ]

Then I'm glad you have him.
[ She huffs, and adds-- ]
But he really shouldn't drug you.

But he really shouldn't drug you.
Oh, yes, well. I certainly wish he would not, also.
[ She frowns. ]
There's not a lot I can do to help, but--
[ She concentrates on Val's water, and it ripples with her effort, pretty fiercely for a moment before it calms down again. ]
It should help with any lingering grogginess. I'd also recommend you eat some soup, if there's any around.

[ Blinks at the cup, startled, but smiles as she sips it. ]
I'll get a can from the shops, later. It seems like you know your way around some illness, huh?

[ She stands up, her eyes fiercely defiant. ]
That's not--
[ But even if offensive cloudhymn is decidedly her weakness, she's not going to stand around and try and do nothing. She spreads her arms above her head and calls forth a wall of water-- well, at least it peeks above her own head? It's something! As she points towards Dan Feng, it rushes towards him and...
...well, honestly, it hits with about the force of a child's slap, at best. It certainly wouldn't cause anyone any real harm. ]

Uh-huh! I'm a healer.
[ There's a touch of pride to her voice, and her eyes are sparkling. ]
I help people who visit me on the Loufu.

[ Stares, for a moment. Either... from a different time, or a different timeline, much like Dan Heng-- it's possible she's from the past, but from what little she knew of Imbibitor Lunae as a position rather than just Dan Feng, they were always male, and certainly not... this. But she definitely wasn't a normal vidyadhara either, with a tail like that. ]
... I see. You hold a very important position, then.

[ She nods at that. ]
Uh-huh, I'm a high elder and I'm gonna be the next Imbibitor Lunae. But for now, I'm called the Healer Lady.

Is that so? What an honor.
Shall I call you Healer Lady? I wouldn't want to be impolite.

[ She shakes her head. ]
Nah, I prefer just "Bailu." I'm proud of my abilities, but I wouldn't want to be known only by them.
