[sansa is once again in front of her customary backdrop with the stark sigil embroidered over weirwood branches. she wears a black dress with wolves picked out at the shoulder in shades of charcoal and grey. lady sits next to her on the couch in a matching embroidered collar, but...there is another wolf, bigger and tawnier, looking mournful in a simple braided leather collar. and there is a spaniel, too, wearing a collar of black velvet with 'GUCCI' sewn in pale bloodstone, in sansa's lap, which she pets absently. occasionally the spaniel tilts her head up for more petting if sansa's hand seems to still.]

Hallo, this is Sansa Stark. I'm very sorry to have to tell you my good friend Richie Tozier has gone back into the ocean––but he has friends there that he missed very much, and I know he'll be glad to see them again.

[she draws a breath.]

It would be well if we could keep the Painted Turtle Clinic running in his honor. Richie had been looking for a Blood Minister to work with for some time, but we'd welcome any sort of healer. Lady Ange is working there now, and she will help you to get settled.

We may need additional wards on Turtle Cove itself, as Smores will be staying with me, and assisting at the Sanctuary as well as the clinic. She's very clever and trained to be of service. If anyone has temporarily lost their sight, she should be glad to come by and guide you.

[now sansa hesitates. various animals nudge her reassuringly.]

If you are a Paleblood who has lost their sight or hearing, it may be that I could teach you a genjutsu technique that might help. You will need to have good chakra control and a pet or animal companion besides your omen. Dogs are said to be best, and hellhounds are very well-suited, but we do have batcats still in need of homes at the Sanctuary, and ravens are good, if you have one that will stay with you. You can find me at the Sanctuary, or ask the lantern imps for the Rookery, and you only have to follow the rocks with turtles to the Painted Turtle Clinic. Thank you.

I don't think that's true. I think as you come to know yourself better, you'll be better able to recognize what you've brought with you from your world.

[ She breathes a sigh of relief. ]

I'm glad, he'll help you build on those talents. I think he's about the best there is, but I'm certainly happy to help too.

There's no need to apologize. [ She laughs. ] It's nothing I haven't done myself as a student!

[sansa smiles wearily.]

I think people would be very interested in learning medical jutsu from you. It's very useful. And I imagine there are a few Palebloods who should like to improve their chakra control before their sight goes.

[creationrebirth]

I'm happy to do whatever I can, if people want to learn. Sasuke-kun too I'm sure, or at least he will when he gets back to himself. I can't guarantee chakra control would help anyone see. It can make people blind, just as easily as it can help someone project their minds. It's all about who has abilities for what.

Sasuke's sharingan was actually blinding him at one point. [ But she should probably not tell her how that got fixed. ]

[dohaeris]

Oh, well, it's Paleblood magic, truly. But Sasuke teaches us genjutsu techniques we can use with it, and you need chakra control for that––I do, anyway. I don't know that all of them will be able to do it, but dreamwalkers seem well-suited. Perhaps I could train more guide dogs, for the rest of them, once I work out how Smores does it.

[she frowns in concentration.]

Hellhounds are quick learners. If someone brought one to me, I could do it. I would need to have them as puppies, otherwise, and it would take much longer.

[creationrebirth]

Paleblood magic seems like a good thing to call it, and something everyone will understand.

Semantics aside, it seems like you are putting a lot of pressure on your shoulders to solve a very temporary problem. Perhaps it's the analytical doctor part of me, but when a situation is short term. I often suggest just making someone comfortable, especially when the affliction will reverse back in a week.

This all seems like a situation that would be better addressed with a group of good samaritans who would be willing to run errands and do some chores.

[dohaeris]

Familiars and hellhounds are very useful, and I'm better at training dogs than doing chores.

[ She chuckles. ] I'm used to getting my hands dirty.
