[Honestly, threat of being reduced to assistant by itself might be persuasion enough for him to take point on most teaching matters--so to speak--reluctance notwithstanding...! Unless it's where matters of healing might be concerned, anyway. Jade's versed enough in first aid and more critical triage matters, but when things start pertaining to the seventh fonon....well. They both know where the limitations in that area lie, anyway.
Speaking of which, though--]
Ah, indeed, there are unfortunately nonexistent resources where use of the seventh fonon might be concerned. For that matter, you will need to adjust--the concept of fonology in general is in fact not at all a common matter, in this place. In fact, I've not yet found anyone at all here who has the faintest idea what a 'fonon' even is...aside from yourself now, of course.
[And being the consummate fonologist that Jade is, this particular tidbit had been a very odd thing to discover and process--equal parts unsettling and fascinating, as his horizons where the building blocks of the world have been concerned have been forced to expand and accommodate the idea of...other realities, with entirely different natural laws. Of course, Tear isn't any sort of scientist herself, so...well, hopefully, breaking it to her in this very blunt and simple sort of way might be the best way to go about addressing it. Since it's only going to grow more evident as she interacts with other passengers here, anyhow.]
If it's any small consolation, though, I've yet to observe anything in the way of traveling illness or disease here. There may at least be tools available to address such things as they arise, even without a full extent of healing artes available; the infirmary on this ship is quite well-stocked, so access to more conventional medicines remains on the table for now.
[There's also the potential matter of panacea bottles--though the supply chain logistics on that front are...trickier, with the discovery of an apparent limitation on his fomicry. Still, Jade's making a mental note to himself to bring Tear up to speed on that front later, and get one of those bottles in her hands one way or another.
Matters for later, though. As far as matters of the present might be concerned...the wry smile on Jade's features takes a faintly sympathetic sort of bent, as he starts towards one of the entrances leading off the deck and back into the ship.]
Quite fair enough! Being rather suddenly kidnapped to some bizarre vessel in the middle of an unknown ocean tends to put off an appetite. But the fact remains that it does little good to neglect such matters here; best to keep up one's strength, in preparation for whatever might yet occur around a corner. ...And I have personally verified that thus far there is no evidence of poisoning in the foods whatsoever! [Which ought to be a fairly reassuring thing, for the meantime; Tear's quite familiar by now, no doubt, with Jade's nigh-hobbyist interest in poisons and the applications of them in things like food.....] Not that I didn't have those suspicions at first too. A very prescient concern to have, all things considered.
At any rate, I'm inclined to show you around anyhow, so this works quite efficiently enough. The dining hall is nearest from here, and has a buffet sort of setup for selection...if that would be amenable to you?
i thought i tagged this ages ago oh nooo
