You are right. Snake venom, at least, is useful, especially to stimulate the humors, when taken a hundredth part with rice wine.
[One of the more basic medical prescriptions, really, but it needs a dose of cloudhymn to activate. The hand starts stroking her hair, carefully avoiding her horns.]
[That hand in her hair tightens, violent and immediate, and the man- thing(?)- behind her takes a breath. A rasp? It doesn't sound like anything familiar. It sounds wrong.]
[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.]
[ 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. ]
[Dan Feng was too distracted by the electricity gathering somewhere he'd never quite thought to do so before, so he doesn't dodge the incoming tail, which smacks him wetly with full force.]
You-
[He stumbles backwards and falls into the water, and he looks up at Bailu, wide-eyed, jaw bruised.]
In your tail?! [He sounds more scandalized than hurt actually.]
[He leans back on his hands and then sort of oozes into lying down completely, while giggling. It's a little unsettling, especially when those water spears are still floating above them.]
Do you mean the general? I was kind of inspired by him, but no one's taught me anything about how to fight. All I've really been taught about is healing arts.
[He doesn't answer, but there's an ominous lull, before the spears start coming down, hard, stabbing into the water and barely missing her. Like a test of her reflexes, and Dan Feng isn't even watching.]

It's just something I picked up somewhere. Don't you agree?
Re: Day 47
[There’s the sound of soft footsteps, stopping just behind her right shoulder.]
Are you acquainted with Taoran?
Re: Day 47
We've met. And I wouldn't mind never doing it again.
Re: Day 47
Better the snake you know, my dear.
[There's a pause, and then a hand tries to pet the top of her head.]
Re: Day 47
That's something to think about, along with the fragmented dreams she has on rare occasion. ]
That's an insult to snakes.
[ There is a small start when she feels his hand, but she doesn't immediately swat it away. ]

What is your given name, Imbibitor Lunae?
Re: Day 47
[ She hums thoughtfully, contemplating as she continues to accept the pettings. ]
My name is Bailu. What's yours, Mystery Man?

Re: Day 47
[ She's twisting, trying to turn and look, but the grip on her hair makes that more difficult. ]

Re: Day 47
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). ]
Re: Day 47
Call your cloudhymn, successor.
Re: Day 47
That's not--

Oooooooh!
[ She's not good at this but she really, really wants to prove herself. That being said, her strongest attack isn't really hitting people with water.
So she focuses enough electricity to her tail to focus her strongest lightning charge....
and runs at him, jumping up to hit him in the face with a fat, electrified dragon tail. ]
