My name is Nehan-- I'm researching how medicine works here, and how to merge it with the methods I'm used to. If my research goes well, for instance, I will be able to act as a doctor and pharmacist, among other roles found here.

To that end, I'm requesting samples of blood from fellow Sleepers. I understand it can be quite personal, so whoever does not want to do that need not respond. Those who do, so I can perform the phlebotomy myself, and can privately send you my address, and answer questions you may have.

Whoever wants to help but doesn't want a needle in their arm, I still have a job for you, if anyone is interested.

[very straight to the point, almost unwelcomingly so. but at least people know what they're getting into if they decide to deal with him?]

[oh venti. nehan has to shake his head minutely, but it's more out of... fondness than anything else. silly man.

he beckons to venti to follow him, back into the house.]

Come, I'll give you a small bottle of it.

[tonedeaf]

[ hopping out of his seat, venti's quick to follow behind nehan with the excitement of someone who never thought about using alcohol to... like... you know, not drown himself in??? ]

Thanks doctor. I appreciate it, really I do!

[torpour]

Yes, yes. [nehan's tone, despite his words seeming dismissive, is indulgent. he leads the way to the kitchen, and opens a cupboard, digging out a small bottle of clear liquid. then he opens it to let the smell permeate the air.]

Stinks, doesn't it? This is pure ethanol alcohol, and not meant for consumption at all.

[tonedeaf]

I guess... the smell is the way to keep people from drinking it, huh.

[ there are things in nature like that! like certain cheeses. who would be crazy enough to eat one that could make the air so foul and unenjoyable? ]

But it'll keep that spot clean and allow it to mend without trouble? Amazing!

[torpour]

[it's surprising that venti doesn't know... but do people like him think about such things? does mondstadt not have doctors, only magical healers? kaeya's comments seem to make him think so.]

Mm. It works that way. [then he takes venti's hand to place the bottle in it.] Just dab a little bit onto the wound, or even a ball of cotton and gently wipe it. No need to upend the whole bottle onto the cut, so you can save it for later. All right?

[tonedeaf]

[ magic is efficient. it's quick and painless, often very effective as well. but venti's expertise isn't in healing though he's never tried? surely he has the ability to, but...

hey. if a doctor can fix what ails him? that's fine too. ]

I'll remember. [ carefully, he takes the bottle with both hands so that it won't somehow escape him. ] Thank you again!
