[It is unrealistic for Jin Guangyao to expect that he will encounter anyone that he knows among the Sleepers emerging from the sea, and unlikelier still that a familiar face from his past will be the one he most desires to see. (He can hope, though.) So when he instead sees a nearly-naked young woman hurling herself towards the largest lizard that Jin Guangyao has ever seen in his entire life, he is torn between two equally important compulsions, though only one is urgent: protect the girl's modesty with his own outer robe, or retreat very quickly in the opposite directly, possibly on his flying sword.

He lays the fine cream and gold silk of his outer robe folded on a rock that nearby, but not so nearby that the beast she is now embracing might perceive him as a threat. Then he straightens, eyes averted, and backs away carefully.]


Jiemei, [he calls out politely; he's aware that the likelihood of a Sleeper understanding his courteous terms of address is low, but finds himself unable to avoid them without feeling unspeakably rude.] Please, this one urges you to make use of this robe. It is... cold outside.

[and you are really, really underdressed.]
