The capital city of the cultivation world stands atop a mountain peak. Aside from the Imperial palace at its center, it is a fairly ordinary city, with people going about their business in a fairly ordinary way, although of course there are more cultivators around than in any other city in the world, at least since Linyi was razed. But even when the Emperor was mad, he never reached the levels of ostentation of Linyi at its peak. But the Emperor's madness is long gone, and in a city filled with so many cultivators, the common people have little to fear.
"I think it would be interesting to know how your healing interacts with purely magical ailments. Of which not very many people are afflicted per capita, but they can be disproportionately disastrous."
"I suspect that if you can't do anything for them then the problem is just that they're functionally dead. But it's not impossible."
She brings them to a door that two figures are standing in front of.
The two figures are blank-faced in a way that speaks of excellent autonomic control and nobody whatsoever home. They're wearing uniforms different from the ones the ordinary guards were wearing, all in black.
"I mean, he could, probably, but we don't have a great place to...put him...that wouldn't make him interact with Father, which, uh, wouldn't be fair to him."
"You know what, that's fair, it's the kind of situation that bears explaining. Given that your role is Ambassador rather than, uh, atrocity relief, do you want to--call someone else in to handle the rest of them, table talks until the rest are done, table doing the rest until talks have progressed--also could you tap my mother at some point, it's considerably less urgent but my mother did, also, sustain a significant magical injury while Father was being mind-controlled."
"Thank you. I thought it was very promising when you reacted well to the implication that meeting powerful strangers was not more important than comforting an upset child, but you have nonetheless far outstripped my expectations."
"...my species likes babies more than most," he says a little sheepishly. He takes a picture of where they are, and presently a float healer - she's naked, but covered by a moving illusion of millet stalks that obscure her torso - appears. "Millie, hi, this place has some people who are in a sort of catatonia and need a poke and a ride to Lórien, possibly not in that order."
"Okay, where are they at?" Millie asks.
"They aren't all currently gathered at a central location--I'll alert Father and he'll send them all here."
She raises her hand, and a glowing purple butterfly appears above it and flutters off much faster than a normal butterfly could fly.
This urgent task having been accomplished, she looks at Millie more closely, eyes tracing up and down her without particular hesitation or prurient interest, and says, "--Some kind of nature spirit? I suppose it's none of my business, but you almost seem to fit into the paradigm I'm familiar with, you see."
"I like your," she waves her hand in the general direction of her own torso, "effect, it's very pretty. And thematic."
