He knew he was safe but he also knew she was trying to offer him comfort a comfort he really needed at the moment. He would have said it wasn't his safety he was worried about but the Island. What ever it was that Lan Sizhui had tangled with when he saved the small schooner was now dead but it had left its marks upon his skin. Marks that would heal on him within weeks, but the true horror was seeing what happened when its sooty tentacles had contacted the human fishermen---good men, superstitious men, men who were generational on the island having parents, grandparents and in some cases even longer relatives. Most of the natives indeed knew the threat of the island and wrote it off as normal.
This was not normal.
Sizhui sat up and brushed his bangs from his eyes. He'd needed patching up. His ribs white robes stained pink from where it had caught him, had burned through his white robes and seared his immortal flesh which healed and repaired itself to quickly for the damage to be lasting but the hurt was real. Sizhui took a pained breath, since it had tried to break his ribs once he'd open a tentacle up the full length of its appendage severing it. It had thrashed in the water and tried to retreat with him. Sizhui had wanted that, it had done precisely what he wanted, turned away from toying with the fishermen. Which was what the thing had done, tug at rods here and there, yank on nets, make it seem they had a huge haul, when all that awaited them was death.
He would have to go to the hospital to see them, he would need to do work on them so they would heal faster and make sure none of the creature was left in the wounds otherwise it simply would not heal. Sizhui brought his hands together a little shakily and drew upon his energy his core. The cultivational energy formed between his two hands blue and shimmering. It glowed between them and his superficial wounds began to mend and the worst ones began to seal. "It was a new creature no reasoning with something that has nothing but a predatory mind and seeks to toy with those around it for its own amusement. " he whispered to her.
"I will heal.." he promised though he leaned his head back in her lap with a little sigh. The blue energy around his hands dissipating after few minutes. “Those sailor’s had a scare to be sure though.” @bluuxriising
