[ ...........Well, she had been ready to apologize but uh. Just looking at the man and noting his pallor-- ] Huh? What-- no, nothing... [ She fumbles over her words at first, but then quickly recovers to ask: ] Are you all right? Goodness, you look so pale...

...Tea is... please, don't trouble yourself. [ She hadn't intended to stay long. Apologize, hear his answer, and then leave. But now?? ] Now I worry for you. [ She steps inside but keeps her eyes on him, concern clearly written upon her face. ]

You look more than just worried; are you sick? [ And, of course, because she's Pyra, she will even reach out her hand to feel his forehead, if she may. ]

[ She shakes her head to the tea; she's not here to be a guest, after all, when she still has not apologized. Which she will get to. But the priority here is making sure that he's alright! As for all of those papers and talismans... It seems he's been working on something. ] A trip... through the forest, perhaps? Even among two who have a strong bond with one another, it could still be dangerous...

[ She literally had a friend get killed by one such forest excursion a month ago, but she keeps that from her mind for now. Moving on, however: ]

Lan Wangji, I cannot accept, in good conscious, your hospitality until I've apologized. [ Bringing a hand to her chest, she bows her head slightly. And unlike any of the expressions she's given to him during the event, this one looks rightly apologetic and sorrowful. ] While I can say that Chroma effeced me... what I said was still callous and tactless, and I should have caught on sooner that something was wrong. So, I am deeply sorry for being rude.

[ She blinks, just a tad confused by his words. Is he accepting her apology for himself and on behalf of others....? She wonders to herself, then, if he is a lordling of some sort; those are the only type of people with enough pride to speak on another behalf so formally. These thoughts, however, are irrelevant in the grand scheme of things, as she's quite happy to be forgiven at all by, well, anyone. ] T--thank you. You're very kind, to accept my apology. [ She smiles gratefully at him, although the sorrow always remains. ]

As for the trees, I cut down a good amount for the church... [ It's followed by a look of guilt. ] --And, I enlisted... others' help in cutting them down to help with its repairs. [ Wow. If the trees really were the cause, then her asking for help to harvest wood for repairs makes her quite the unwitting culprit as well. ] How did he make the connection, if you don't mind my asking?

I... I see. [ It's a good theory, if nothing else.

But goodness, this makes her responsible for a lot of people being effected by the event. Looks like she'll have to be more careful in the future, or, perhaps, not get others involved with whatever it is that she's doing. ]

Even after all this time, the trees are still encroaching on the town... If we can't cut them down without harming or cursing ourselves, we still don't have an effective solution to deal with them.

...Is that what you were doing here as well? With Wei Ying, I'm guessing? [ She gestures to the papers and the talismans. A long time ago at a party, she had said she'd become his disciple, even!

But nothing had come of it, so she's left in the dark regarding all cultivator things. There might as well be no universal translator provided by Chroma in regards to whatever symbols are written there. ]

[ It's all Greek to her.... even if she is trying to understand! Mythra never paid too much attention to human inventions back in the day, so Pyra feels like she's playing a bit of catch up with those here who innovate things.

She seems to remember something, and quickly her expression softens into a new smile. So he had been wanting to collaborate with Wei Wuxian? ] Hehe~ I'm happy you're getting along with him again. That's good... and you're doing things for your roommate too. You're adjusting really well to this place. That's wonderful news.

[ She shakes her head, still smiling. ] You seemed so ill when you opened the door, but maybe I'm just worrying for nothing.

Is that so... [ Cultivators do not become ill easily, but apparently they are quite susceptible to becoming sickly-appearing through... worry. It's rather sad, from what she knows of how cultivators train from Shen Qingqiu, that they have to go through years of study and practice to strengthen their bodies, their minds can still be troubled so much.

But since she is not a cultivator like any of the four here, and she is not a disciple, she supposes she must keep further questions she has to herself. ]

Well, so long as you say you're alright... [ She smiles at him, and nods, in the end grateful that he's accepted her apology. ] Let me know if you need anything else, help or otherwise.
