It occurred to Raine that if she ever wanted to genuinely catch Yunxu off his guard, all she'd have to do was offer kindness with no ulterior motive. He wouldn't know what to do with it.

"Of course I tested it first." She didn't quite sound offended, but it was near. Yunxu's saving grace there was that he didn't know her well. "An anonymous donor giving not money, but healing supplies-- there's little reason to keep one's name out of it, unless afraid of repercussions, and healing usually doesn't carry those. At worst, the entire supply might have been poisoned. I wasn't about to take it on faith." Raine had done enough tests to be satisfied. "It's perfectly safe."

She set the jar on his desk with a faint click, not taking her eyes off him. "However," she added, "I will admit to some reticence anyway." Her natural suspicions, and also an aversion to listening to nameless instructions with no good reason given. "Therefore, I suggest that I simply speed your healing with my artes, and bypass the need for this gift altogether. However, I'd still like to see the wounds first."
