Video: UN: Wen Qionglin

[forestofjade]

[The video starts with a young man intently looking into the camera, he's making small noises as if trying to figure it out. After a few moments of fiddling with it his eyes widen and he moves back as if startled. After a few more moments he leans forward again to fiddle with it some more.

Whatever battle he was waging seemed to not be going very well, and soon he got up and left the cameras field of view completely only returning with some paper and ink. He writes something down on the paper and then follows it with his fingers, some might notice he is holding them in a deliberate way. He then picks up the paper and examines it before placing it somewhere behind the camera.

When he comes back into view he looks towards the camera a little expectantly, eyes wide and then smiles with a nod. He makes another gesture with his hand and the screen goes dark.]

[Text]

From what I understand this is a way to communicate with everyone here. Hello, I hope I'm not intruding. I wanted to make an introduction but, I wasn't sure if it would be rude to just interrupt everyone....

[He definitely did not want to be a bother!]

I've heard a few things about this place, but, it's all a bit overwhelming.

[No one would care about that though, he should probably try and get to the point. Making such a public statement was really scary! But, there were... a lot of people to potentially address.]

I was wondering if I could ask if someone might be here....

[Wasn't it a bit silly to ask the general public though?]

Or... no, it's alright. If she were here I would probably know already....

[Now he wasn't sure what to do....]

I am Wen Qionglin....

I'm sorry for bothering everyone.

Ah, I'm sorry. I too have a sister, and she isn't here, either. Perhaps they'll arrive eventually, gods be willing.

If I may be forward with you, may I ask where you come from? Your clothes - they're of a similar style to a few men I've met here.

[forestofjade]

I'm from Qishan, or... Zhong Guo?

[He wasn't really sure what would be helpful for someone unfamiliar. He hadn't ever really thought about people from outside before.]

I hope so too... and, I hope you can see your sister eventually as well.

[clothed]

Ah. Have you heard of Lord Jiang? From... Yunmeng Jiang, if I recall correctly. He's a friend of mine.

If you'd like, I could help you get your bearings in this place.

[forestofjade]

I am familiar with Young Master Jiang, yes.

[But, he was a bit nervous to admit that. He knew he didn't like him, and didn't care about any reasons to change that opinion.]

I wouldn't want to trouble you, I should be alright, but thank you.

[He wasn't sure how to take such an offer, but he did appreciate the kindness.]

[clothed]

It would be of no trouble. Please, you'd be doing me a favor, really - I intend to repay the kindness I've been shown by helping others as well.

Are you and Lord Jiang on good terms?

[she can read between the lines, but she's also not one to assume. sansa has an inkling that their world's politics is just as complicated as her own.]

[forestofjade]

I do not know. I have not seen him for over a year, and did not speak with him much then. I can not speak for him.

[But, he never once tried to defend them, or speak up for them. He could assume what his thoughts were.]

And if you insist, I would not want to trouble you, so I would not mind the help. I also want to be able to repay kindness I have received.

[clothed]

I shall not persist in asking, then, Lord Wen. With respect to both of you.

Come with me to the markets, and we'll be even. I do not have a head for... shopping, as they call it. We could look for something that you'd like to eat as well?

[forestofjade]

I haven't really seen the market yet, I am also not very good at buying things. Jiejie would always scold me for getting the wrong things, and then send someone else, or do it her self. When I was given subordinates, I would send them, because the merchants were scary....

[clothed]

Then we'll learn together. Surely that wouldn't be so horrible, my lord?

Jiejie is your sister's name, then? She sounds like she worries for you deeply.

[forestofjade]

That does sound easier.

Oh, I'm sorry, actually, her name is Wen Qing.

[Because we never get to know her public name....]

[clothed]

Ah, my mistake. The Lady Wen must miss you, my lord.

Would you be willing to meet with me today?

[forestofjade]

[Oh, that was, very sudden. He wasn't really sure, but he had no reason to deny either. Was it alright?]

If you like.

And there is no need, it was my mistake.

[clothed]

I would like to, if it pleases.

Shall we meet at the Groves? They're close by, and easy to find.

[forestofjade]

That sounds good, I think I can see them on the map.

[clothed]

I shall see you, then? I wear wolves on my dress, and I have bright red hair. I won't take much of your time.

[forestofjade]

I will head out now then. I think I should be able to find my way.
