"...by staring at me, or would he like to talk?"

(He) (would) (like) (to) (talk)

"Okay. I think I've had enough breakfast. It was pretty good!"

(I) (am) (told) (you) (come) (from) (very) (far) (away)

"Yes. I come from another world."

(And) (a) (place) (on) (the) (opposite) (side) (of) (that) (world) (from) (the) (Yang) (tze) (river)

"Yes. If it's not a coincidence. I can draw you a map of my planet if you like."

(That) (seems) (prudent)

So when provided with paper she draws the outlines of all the continents, quick and neat as though she's tracing, and she draws the Yangtze River and identifies it, and she marks New York City. "I live here," she says, and then she marks Forks, "but I was born here," Phoenix, "and I grew up here."

It takes some searching in the library to find a map that covers more than just the general China-and-its-immediate-environs area, but they do, and the geography matches. 

(I) (hope) (that) (whatever) (standards) (of) (behavior) (exist) (where) (you) (are) (from) (you) (will) (behave) (appropriately) (while) (you) (are) (here), Lan Qiren says and Lan Wangji (with undetectable reluctance) translates. Lan Xichen makes a more legible half-apologetic half-long-suffering face. 

"I didn't object substantially to the subset of sect rules I've learned apart from the one that will be unsustainable if you hope to have me doing any magic," she says after a beat. "I don't know whether that will continue to hold as I learn more of them, and I understand that might take some time, but if I encounter a rule I can't live with I'm willing to amicably take my leave and find somewhere else to stay. Of course I cannot guarantee I'll follow rules I don't know to exist, and can't guarantee I will understand them all as common sense coming as I do from so far away."

He nods, not quite happy but reasonably satisfied and not actively grudging. Xichen says something to him which Wangji doesn't bother translating and the two get up and bow and leave. 

She attempts a little bow herself but obviously has never bowed to anyone in her life.

(Thank) (you) (for) (being) (civil) (to) (Uncle)

"It seemed prudent. - you guys don't know precognition protocol, I should explain that to you, it's kind of hard even for people who grow up with it -"

(Please)

"If something happens you would have wanted to be warned about, tell me. Even when it has already happened, and especially if it's an ongoing emergency, priority one is tell me. You have to think of it that way and not as exclusively being about me being conveniently able to see the future, because your decisions are part of the future, and I can only foresee my own experiences - if I acquire extrasensory abilities those can fold in to my own experiences, but I can never tell you about something that isn't going to happen, to me, in my own precognition window, in the event that I do not use precognition, because what I see is 'what would happen if I didn't use precognition'. People who have Glimpse insurance on their kids who can't be trusted to keep their own pulse monitors on sometimes lose their kids because they - experience the kid dying and then spend the rest of the time window grieving and not telling their precog. And then we can't do anything. You have to have everybody who might know about something you want warning of very clear that even when it seems like it can't possibly help and I have already demonstrated I'm useless they have to tell me what happened because that's how I can be not-useless."

--Nod. 

(I) (can) (think) (of) (times) (when) (that) (would) (have) (been) (useful)

She nods. "I technically have to do this too, I have to be able to sufficiently make up my mind to try stuff even if the entire reason I'm checking in precognition is that I don't want to, but it's easier for me because I designed the power and how it feels for me, everybody else just has to have the reflex of 'tell the precog right away'."

(I) (will) (make) (sure) (it) (is) (known)

"Thanks. What's on the agenda for the morning besides this geography lesson?"

(Can) (you) (explain) (your) (balance) (problem)

"I've had it all my life. It's in an awkward gap where psionics can't fix it because it's too physical and magery can't either because it's too neurological, or I would have had it cured by now. I can't run without falling down. I can't dance either. I can walk, slowly, with my cane, and usually not trip if I'm paying attention."

(If) (you) (can) (meditate) (while) (walking) (and) (focus) (on) (your) (balance) (it) (might) (help) (sooner) (than) (otherwise)

"If you have someplace reasonably soft-floored I can try it."
