"I guess not everyone."

Nia counts out six from her bundle of them - they're not on a chain all together where they'd scatter if the chain broke, each is on a separate string and held in a bundle from a keychain ring. She peels off six of them, and then counts out pills.

"I'm Matsumoto Tomonori. This is-"

Oh no. Bracelets...

"Lily! from Canada. She has enchanted bracelets."

Lily gets out her first aid kit and carefully adds the pills to its little compartments, then stashes the sapphires in her pack. Once everything is settled, she passes over the endurance bracelet.

"Pleased to meet you."

"You too! I am Nia, Notting Hill."

"Zed, Angie, Alex. Sara is a junior. Montréal."

"Are you okay? You look exhausted."

"Calgary. It's nice to meet some fellow Canadians though."

"Always am. It's fine."

That does not sound super fine to her but saying so out loud seems like a bad idea. 

"Well, now we're only waiting on Alexius, I think this is a big enough group with him, especially if he brings someone else along." 

(Alex shifts a little so Zed can lean on him while they're standing around.)

They lean against Alex's shoulder.

And soon, the Prophesied One himself trots up. (Well, he doesn't know the actual Prophecied One is elsewhere, looking unintentionally foreboding). "Oh hey, more people. I'm Alexius, Jacksonville not-quite-an-enclave." He has a somewhat scorched power-sharer, and (to Tomonori) a bit less enchanted gear than is typical for enclavers, but a sort of faint aura that looks simultaneously right on him and... annoyed with him? 

"Alexius the Great! Did you find anyone interesting? These are, let's see, Nia, from Notting Hill, Yolanda Park from NorCal, who I think you might have some things to trade with, Matsumoto Tomonori," pronounced nearly flawlessly, "and Lily from Canada, who has some interesting bracelets for sale." 

Aw, he has a title already. He won't complain; he wouldn't have made the joke in the first place if it weren't enjoyable. "Hira Khan from Jaipur seemed well-prepared," and entirely too distracting, dammit, "but alas she was not in need of more supplies. We'll probably swap language tutoring, though." He waves to the newcomers. "I do love trading! Whatcha got?" 

"My affinity is self-buffs and I'm creative writing track! I have been informed you might have a use for my spells."

Self-buffs!!! "Self-buffs!!! Oh this is going to need, like, its own afternoon. I do self magic and I've managed to trick it into extending to potions, barely, but don't tell me or I might notice." He actually bounces with glee. "And you'll be writing more, let's be friends. What languages you got?" 

(Tomonori is trying to puzzle out Alexius' aura, but it looks like it would be the work of heavier-duty magic than his glasses have. The poor power sharer, though...)

"English, Mandarin, Classical Chinese, and Korean!"

"I have English and Mandarin! Some of the best ones are in Latin though. For you I've got stimulants, gut microbiome tweaks, slightly faster thinking, an untested ice spike and cold resistance I got from Hira, and a smattering of healing spells including one to staunch bleeding and oxygenate what's left." 

"Stimulants and slightly faster thinking sound great. What do gut microbiome tweaks do in practice?"

"It kinda depends on how much biology you know. You can cover for nutrient deficiencies, help your body get the right tools to heal itself, recover a healthy balance after antibiotics, even produce unusual compounds if you don't mind how they come out. You can also make yourself deathly ill for days if you don't know what you're doing. My affinity makes it safer for me than most. Yours...might?" 

"I don't think I know enough about biology to want to risk it!"

"That's fair! What do you have in trade? It doesn't have to be spells or even present goods, if you're going to be writing personal buffs I want on your good side." 

"I have divinations if anyone wants them," he contributes.
