Claiming victory over a contest without participating is poor sportsmanship. Go on, try for yourself. I'll watch.
Sadly, I doubt my nurse will approve of construction projects while I'm recuperating. I do feel badly for him. I'm sure he has plenty of ways he'd rather be spending his time than caring for me.
What, his little friends? He'll be fine. He was very anxious when you were injured, he won't have forgotten so soon. Don't let him know it concerns you or he might ask me for a raise.
I think you would-- if you could, but you wouldn't accomplish as much as I have.
[Is she even sorry about it? Hard to tell. Maybe the risk seems less, now that she's partially recovered. Maybe it was never about the risk in the first place.]
[She absolutely doesn't have to address how worried Cat was about her, though.]
He deserves a raise. You'd best be paying him what he's worth. (As if he'd work for anything less.)
[The admission is welcome. He doesn't know how much of an advantage she has--or does he? It's frustrating to know so little about what Li Lianhua has worked out. And how much of that he's shared.]
I'll take that much. Though the advantage only went so far.
The local currency does leave something to be desired. There's a weightiness to coins that doesn't translate well to these intangible shards. What about a bonus? Food or sundries? Employment perks?

Staying busy will be good for your recovery. I could even bring you supplies, if I decided to fetch your board instead.

He sets his own rates. I'm sure he wishes we had more currency in common.

Date: 2024-12-11 06:41 am (UTC)Are the manuals not enough of a bonus? How can I be third in line to feed him? Does he even have any enemies?

Date: 2024-12-11 06:44 am (UTC)Would you fight his enemies for him? That's sweet. I don't believe any of them are here. We'll have to brainstorm sometime else.
