[ He just picks up a seed packet and stare at it. He understands fucking nothing. ]
[okay it can treat fevers too but there's something the summary at the top of the page not even mentioning fever at all that just puts me in the ground.]
Is the terminology really so much in the minority?
[ Jiuqing is the latest in a handful of people who have questioned him saying chirurgeon. It's the word in his world, he's stunned so many people prefer doctor. ]
...and I'm sure all of us speak different languages, ourselves. Frankly, I'm surprised we can all understand each other.
I really wonder what it is, though... so many of the other words we're speaking to each other now are the same, but why the difference in those two words specifically?
I'm glad to hear I'm not driving you away with my questions!
[hmm maybe she should get started planting some of these herbs actually. she's gonna do that. i cannot remember if i already had her start doing that and i don't want to click thread from start and reread to double check please don't make fun of me if she started doing this five tags ago]
[ Me thinking this is such a rude question to ask but you do you Estinien. Also yeah Jiuqing has actually just been aggressively planting this entire time surprise. No, idr either it's fine she can have taken a break if she did. ]

It's been a while since I was last ill.

... Doctor, then. In concept so far as I've heard, they seem to be the same thing.

[ I'm pretty sure they do, they all just speak '''English''' for gameplay purposes but surely. ]

[ ...He's just shifting, crossing his arms. ]
