WN: ...yes... funny...

JC: I'm fine
YMJ disciple: but you keep rubbing your back, if you're wounded--
JC: it'll pass with a good night's sleep. But I'll be sure to visit the healer along with the rest of you disciples when we get back to Lotus Pier.
YMJ disciple: ......yes sect leader!
WWX: phew that was such an awkward night-hunt, every time we run across YMJ it's like that, remember that time we were night-hunting in Qinghe, and--
WWX:
WWX:
WWX:
WN: *averting his gaze*
