"Hi, you've reached Pepper Potts. For some weird reason I'm not here right now, but leave a message and I'll get back to you as soon as possible with as many messages as it takes to get in touch with you!"

[Aaaand another kedan is getting in touch. Iiiinteresting. Pepper squints a little as if trying to place the woman's face.]

Oh, yeah, hi. I remember. Nice to see you again. [She thinks. This seems pleasant enough.] And yeah, I guess I do. It's sort of my job. I'm not super skilled when it comes to medical stuff, but I'm happy to play ambulance. Is there something you need me to do?

[Of course it's pleasant. Why wouldn't it be pleasant.]

Not in specific at the moment, no, but I'm sure you're aware we could always use the help. And if you wanted to learn about the "medical stuff"...

[One word: Yunxu.

Also two separate kedan in prominent positions contacting her in a short period? Suspicious. Suhiet works with Raine, though, so that has to count for something.]

I could probably stand to pick up a little more advanced training, sure. My job is a bit hectic, but if you're ever seriously short on hands I'll try to see what I can do.

[Which could include a number of things, honestly, but she's never going to be against providing people with prompt and high-quality medical care.]

[Tu Yunxu is a very special man. Who Suhiet doesn't talk to. Ever.]

We'd always appreciate the help, of course. And it's rare to find people so genuinely dedicated to helping others, no matter what.

[Brownie points to Suhiet, in that case.

Pepper shrugs lightly, smiling.]

It's just what I do. The Healer's Guild is super important, though, and it seems like we hardly ever get Foreigners whose specialty is in medicine - the spell parameters are a little wonky, not gonna lie. You deserve all the support you can get.

[Pause. May as well just ask.]

Is it recruitment season or something, by the way? You're the second person to ask me about stuff I'm interested in.

If there are parameters any longer.

[The study of such thing is more Raine's domain; but Suhiet has her doubts about whether there's any rationality to any of the Foreigners' inroads.]

[...but it is nice, to be appreciated so. All of them know it's thankless work, which makes the appreciation almost always surprising and welcome.]

I wasn't aware there could be seasons for recruitment?

[This is inquisitive. It's also absolutely a deflection.]

No kidding.

[Pepper tilts her head at the last, faintly bemused.]

Well... not here, maybe, but where I come from there's definitely recruitment around the time people graduate from college, especially for people studying business. It's sort of weirdly intense.

Just... business?

[Not even sciences, just business? Maybe it's like the Merchant's Guild.]

[Suhiet mimics Pepper's gesture, light catching the scales.]

Hm. Well, of course I'd like to secure your assistance for the future, but it's nothing so aggressive.

Yeah. You can get a degree in business administration where I come from. It's supposed to be a way to get a guaranteed job.

[She shrugs. Not a subject she was interested in.

Pepper blinks a little at the second part.]

Do you mean, like, officially?

[Peculiar. But not, in point of fact, Suhiet's purpose. She shakes her head, sets it aside.]

Something like that, yes.

Oh. Uh.

[Huh. This conversation just took a turn for the more intriguing.]

Okay. I'm assuming there are, like, terms or an agreement or something involved here?

[Yes, but not right now.]

Something like that, yes. This is only to see if you're willing; I can return to you later with something more concretely set down, perhaps?

Uh, sure. Getting something in writing'll be good.
