[ They're likely in the East by now, and Yamato's picked his room in their little hotel-esque area. He can still hear Jing Yuan from behind the door, though, so he opens it and greets the older man with a smile. ]
[ Fortunately, for everyone, Jing Yuan's eyesight is quite decent.
A pause and then he decides that inquiring into someone's restful state can be something not too far out of line to expect from an ally. ]
...I am glad to hear that. Though, it seems you have been having difficulty with getting rest? Is it because of everything that has been going on? Or...
It's an unpleasant experience most should not have to endure.
[ Going from being held at gunpoint to basically being actually shot at...that is a terrible progression.
Anyway, comradery is truly important since they will be banding together against a common threat, so Jing Yuan is glad to see the concern is well-received. ]
...It's no problem. As for myself, sustaining injuries isn't exactly too uncommon for me, so I'm more accustomed to the idea.
You can consider it something somewhere in the middle. The result of a necessity, though it would be ideal if it wasn't anything like that.
[ Being used to injuries from combat is fine; those are easier to contend with, let us say...you know, the opposite of physical ones. ]
Quite. If I were not durable, I would soon become easily the laughing stock back home.
Consider it not unlike gaining experience from a normal hobby or occupation, such that one is able to endure the further difficulty of it in certain circumstances or instances. I'm sure you understand.
Haha, it's a bit of a mixed answer. But, something like that. The Xianzhou Alliance is more peaceful these days, though all the same...I don't think it's somewhere I'd be bringing someone who would keel over with ease.
[ Jing Yuan simply points out, because he thinks it's true. There are still a lot of hazards even if it is far less crazy than when he was younger. ]
You said you were an entertainer who was adept at a multitude of roles, yes? Where there other skills in that area you considered yourself a master of?
[ Pointedly not addressing the talent comment, because Yamato will only deny it even more! Besides, the idea of space-faring ships is more interesting, anyway. He's very curious about that. ]
Hmm. It's like...you're living somewhere made up of several ships? Is that what it is? And you're all in outer space?
[ The pointed not-addressing towards the talent comment does not go unnoticed. Though it does amuse him slightly, which fades soon enough into some sort of focus. ]
Nine ships.
And yes, it is in outer space. Is space-travel common back in your world?
[ At least the other seems to have a grasp on the concept... ]

couple days following akira incident
Anyway, fact remains he remembers Yamato came to check in on him when the last incident occurred.
Jing Yuan decides to pay back the favor, and so he comes along after a couple of days to give a knock at the door. ]
Yamato? This is Jing Yuan.
no subject
Hey. How can I help you?
no subject
I thought I should take the opportunity to drop by and check in on you; though I plan to make it brief.
Am I right to assume you haven't been feeling too afflicted from what happened before?
no subject
[ Jing Yuan may be able to see the slightest hint of eyebags, but that's only if he's paying close attention to Yamato's features and expression. ]
Nah, not really. I'm mostly better, now, thanks to the healers. I can use my arm again, too.

[ Mission-related? ]
no subject
[ Geez, he should've figured Jing Yuan would notice. The man's pretty observant -- you have to be to be that good of a fighter. ]
Mm, just not sleeping very well. I'm fine, though. Nothing caffeine won't fix.
no subject
[ Jing Yuan points out, a bit straightforward there, but he isn't going to like, lie about it.
Hard to take back what he said, either way. Though he also tries to strike a balance as well. ]
That could very well help, in moderation. [ ... ] Are you used to dealing with the situations that have come up? Dangerous, violent incidents?
no subject
[ To put it very, very lightly. ]
A lot of people here are really tough. I'm not equipped for these things at all, personally.
no subject
[ For some of the more...normally-inclined people, it could prove to be quite a challenge, eh? ]
Though, that makes it all the more imperative to ensure everyone can be heard when it's needed.
[ Even generally. ]
no subject
[ Despite being held at gunpoint once but that was a side plot so it doesn't matter -- anyway.
Nightmares suck, man!! He's not a fan. Still, although he's frowning, he looks at Jing Yuan gratefully. He's glad people are concerned for him. ]
Thanks for checking on me. I know you've had your fair share of injuries as well.

no subject
[ Probably the latter? Sir, are you okay? ]
At least that means you're durable?

[ Jing Yuan continues to be shrouded in mystery. Maybe Yamato will be lucky enough to learn more. ]
And of course I do. I'm probably better at some things people here don't know how to do.

no subject
[ Yamato rated himself a 6 out of 10 on every single one of these areas, so...you know. He's a modest guy. ]
You should tell me more about home, sometime. I've been learning a lot about everyone's worlds, but I haven't heard much about yours.
no subject
[ Jing Yuan can detect those modest vibes a mile away... ]
...As for your request, well. I will simply say that it is less a 'world' in a traditional sense and more like a fleet of space-faring ships.
I've never bothered to ask much about other people's worlds, but I do hope the concept is not too strange for you to comprehend?
[ Asking this still because people can be...lacking in (advanced) technological knowledge. ]
no subject
Hmm. It's like...you're living somewhere made up of several ships? Is that what it is? And you're all in outer space?
[ Is Jing Yuan an astronaut....bro.... ]
no subject
