I have a need to hire a writer. I aim to be bonded officially to my wife as soon as I have the appropriate vows written, but words are not my area of expertise. I therefore ask this community to help me compose my bond vows. I will compensate you for your contribution, should I judge your writing worthy of my use.

[ ....... ]

I also have need of coin. I have the money that came with me through the mirror, but the currency here is not the same. For now, I can pay you in silver or gold. If that is unacceptable, then as soon as someone can point me to a means of income then I will pay you in the local tender.

That is all.

I'm afraid I'm too busy with my own work to offer a composition. But if you're ever in need of cunes, please don't hesitate to ask. I know the sorts of labor in demand for gainful employment may not be to your tastes, after all.

[disasterstraight]

I would rather not rely on favors from family to get by. If I must get by on my own merits, then so be it.

[ ....Well, at least he called him family? ]

[turmoiling]

[Too bad Jin Zixuan has no idea just how many family members Jin Guangyao has killed by his point in the timeline.]

Are you quite certain? It's no trouble at all, especially for the sake of my brother and his wife.

Besides which, without your cultivation here, I do worry. I suppose your swordsmanship will be unaltered, but do you truly see yourself as a mercenary? It seems like dangerous work, and I wouldn't want to see you harmed.

[disasterstraight]

[ There it is again. That warning feeling. He's going to need answers about what this is and why he keeps hearing it in his head. It seems to happen every time he talks with Jin Guangyao... ]

My skill with a weapon is not dependent on my golden core. If mercenary work is what I am best suited for, then that is what I will do. I just need to look at what this "board" has to offer.

[turmoiling]

Of course. But it really would be unforgivable to let you be empty-handed so early on in your stay. For now, please allow me to drop off a small housewarming gift, to at least get you started. Have you figured out where you will be staying yet?

[disasterstraight]

We have settled in a temporary location, for now. Until a few kinks are worked out.

[ aka Until their son stops thinking they're impostors and agrees to live with them. ]

If you insist on giving us a gift, I won't stop you. Thank you.

[turmoiling]

You're welcome.

[And a little sadly because Lan Xichen is involved in this little decision, when he drops off an small purse it'll be a very reasonable amount of money.]

[disasterstraight]

[ He will see this, and be pleasantly surprised. He won't let it go to waste. (Meaning he's going to spend it getting something nice for Yanli, of course.) ]
