un: qionglin
Name: Wen Ning
Date: leneur 28
Format: video
[Wen Ning, when he appears, has his hands clasped in his lap. He seems, perhaps, a bit twitchier than usual. The stutter is nothing out of the ordinary, though even that is more frequent than it should be.]
H-hello?
[Video is so awkward. This would have been so much easier over text.]
Um. So, uh. M-my name is Wen Ning. I'm a witch. I... I know some of my fellow witches have, ah, animal companions? Familiars? I wanted to know what... how you decided what was right for you. A-am I supposed to... have a gut feeling? Will I just know? O-or is there anything even to know...
[He glances around nervously, as though he can feel the judgmental gazes of everyone over the network.]
Thank you, in... in advance.

[She smiles, trying to ease his nervousness.]
No, I dont but... I am planning to go shopping for the little ones under my care. I can ask around then and get what is needed. But what I have heard that it is like forming a bond but something else is needed.
no subject
[He does have some money from selling his enchanted goods, though he's a little behind on creating more given how temperamental his magic is at the moment.]
You're looking after children?
no subject
How about this, once I find out what is needed... I can get it and you can give me half back when we meet?
Yes, I do... I am one of the matrons of the orphanage. I figured that they need a motherly or sisterly figure in their lives.
no subject
[He bows his head politely.]
I suppose that works. Y-you should let me know if you run into any difficulties.
no subject
[She goes to quickly bow her head.]
I will. If you want to do this, should we meet later this afternoon? Or-Or-Or whatever time works best for you, Wen Qionglin.
no subject
[He hesitates, uncertain about rushing to do this so soon. He's still talking with others on the subject. Even if he is to form a more permanent bond with someone else, though, it will be much easier on everyone if he isn't bursting at the seams with energy when they perform the ceremony.]
Certainly. Later this afternoon is fine.
Sorry for the delay! Work ate me alive!
Later this afternoon will work perfectly. Should I bring either tea or snacks?
[This poor witch, she coukdnt help but to feel a bit protective of him. Hopefully, this will help her with her guilt.]
No worries. I didn't even have power most of yesterday.
[No reason to go overboard for what will hopefully be a short procedure for a temporary connection.]
But that's very considerate. Thank you.
Eeep! Hopefully you are staying as safe as you can be!
[No, there is no need but it will be a nice gesture and greeting for her temporary witch.]
You are quite welcome. Where will be a good place to meet?
Doing my best!
I don't... know how long this takes.
[Hopefully not long, as he's going to be flustered either way.]
Yeee! Will be keeping you in my thoughts!
My home can be good. I live alone so we won't have any eyes on us.
It shouldn't take us too long. I know with my witch, Rikku, we did it in a hurry.
no subject
[And now he's being invited over to the house of a girl he doesn't even know. Is this alright? It won't be a long visit, surely, and she'll be more comfortable there. If she isn't threatened by having a strange man over then hopefully it's because she's confident in her own abilities to defend herself or has someone to come to her defense.]
If that's alright. Should you send the address privately?
no subject
It is alright with this one. I will be sending my address now.
[And here she goes to quickly send it to him, privately.]
I shall pray that I give you enough time for you to find your ideal monster to bond with.
no subject
[If things work out as they should - which they won't, unbeknownst to him.]
Later this afternoon... Should I let you know before I leave so I don't accidentally show up at a bad time?
no subject
[That poor unfortunate soul.]
Thank you, that would be kind of you if you did that. That way I can start the tea brewing.
no subject
[He smiles hesitantly at her.]
Thank you for your kindness.
