[And there she hangs up, heading straight for the deck. His ledger page is sparse and she's not the type to go digging blindly through the network backlogs, so she's flying blind here: she doesn't even know what the guy looks like, and there's enough people of Asian descent onboard that his name doesn't really narrow things down. Luckily, though, the deck isn't crowded right now, so it's not like there are throngs to wade though. She'll wait by the railing, leaning against it and facing the doors back onto the ship.]
[ Hua Binan follows the signs leading to the deck. He finds it easily enough and when he spots a woman standing there, he makes the assumption that this is his warden. ]
[But unfortunately for him, she's had some time to think over how she wants to start this off, and not being into small talk doesn't mean she's going to hold back on the personal questions.]
So what do you do at home? Your ledger page doesn't say.
[Shaw turns to head back towards the door onto the ship proper, talking to him over her shoulder.]
Come on, I'll take you down and show you around; then you can decide. It's pretty quiet most of the time, but when something big's happening it gets crazy.
[She lifts a shoulder in a shrug, slowing a little so that they can walk side by side.]
I guess that depends on your definition of crazy. Every couple of months the whole ship turns on its metaphorical ass, but not always in a dangerous way. Security here is crap, though, so killings - even mass killings - are pretty common relative to the size of our population.
[They've reached the level 3 hallway, and therefore the infirmary - which is as good a place for this question as one can get, Shaw supposes. She pops the door with her elbow as she goes in, keeping it open for Hua Binan to follow through after her.]
Pretty common disease where I'm from - usually not too bad, unless you're immunocompromised. What kinds of things do you treat at home?
Oh, all sort of things. Injuries, both physical and spiritual. All kinds of diseases and ailments. I've created medicines and other helpful potions as well.

Miss Shaw?

[She pushes off the railing to stand straight, folds her arms over her chest... and hesitates.]
Look, I, uh-- suck at the "getting to know you" stuff. You can ask me any questions you want, but you mind if we just get down to business?
no subject
[ Hua Binan smiles a little. ]
No, I don't mind. [ It's not like he particularly wants to talk about himself... ]

[ Well, at least he has a good response for that. It's even true! ]
I'm a healer.

Alright. Do things get "crazy" often?

I've gathered that death is temporary here, but that still sounds like it'd be more than a mild inconvenience.

[She, for her part, is not; she passed that point long before she ever came to the Barge.]
You're sick for about a week after; it's like a bad case of the flu.

[ He tilts his head in question. ]
Flu?
