Wen Ning was starting to understand the layout of the land better and the city. He managed to even make a few connections. Things were starting to look promising, but he still couldn't shake off the feeling of loneliness and not knowing anything in this foreign land. He had never left far from home like this before. For the millionth time since his arrival, he wished his sister was here with him. It felt strange not being with her.

With his temporarily made bag, Wen Ning continued to pick up various plants that could be used for medicine and healing. There were many plants he wasn't too familiar with and there were some that he knew. However, based on the knowledge he had he managed to pick up the ones he felt were safe. He hoped someone here could tell him what they were.

For the most part he kept to himself silently observing everyone and gaining information that way. When he did venture into the crowds he made sure to be polite and cause any trouble. Only gathering information or providing the little bit of information he had.

He had been told there was a hospital here, and he wanted to go find that place. Perhaps, he could lend them his knowledge and help this way. He tried to make sure his black and maroon robes were presentable. They were starting to look worn and had dirt stains and tears. Hanging at his waist was his sword as well. It would have to do. He asked people for the direction of the hospital and where he could find a place to stay. He only hoped they would take him in and if what he knew would be beneficial for them.

"I didn't decide..." Tony had started to hiss, not sure when he had made this many commitments to this many people to have caused such a disruption with one little hospital vacation. Letting Cayde down with his gun was shameful enough, thank you, he didn't need to know anyone was checking at the forge, and he definitely didn't need two people approaching him like that. He was clearly loathe to give up the bandages, pressing his hand back over the ragged star scorched into his chest, and shot a wildly questioning look Jon's way as he shuffled back out to the hall. He was just going to let Wen Ning see Tony like this? Had Tony done something to offend him already? He just got here, he thought, he was obviously struggling to keep up with all of the things he could do to irritate Jon. "You didn't touch anything, did you?" he thought to check then, throwing his question to Wen Ning just as aggressively, not sure if he should be the one they were worried about here. Wen Ning didn't know what most of that stuff was, he could have eaten the gun powder.

Wen Ning shook his head no with a frown. "I didn't touch anything. I merely checked to see if you were around. I had just been worried and it seemed I was correct to worry."

Tony's appearance didn't concern him so much, just the condition of his appearance did. He was used to seeing injured people in all sorts of states. He gave a wary sigh and followed Jon and Tony trying to take a mental note of everything around him.

"Tony, please. He's here to help and you know we can use people with actual experience in tending to people." Jon cuts in with a hand on Tony's shoulder to gently, yet decidedly stirring him into the room that stores most of their supplies.

"All we will do is check the wound, maybe clean it and renew those bandages. If you wish, you can then join us for some tea." He can only hope that Tony eases up a little more around Wen Ning quickly. That aggression won't do any of them well.

Jon had been doing just fine, in Tony's opinion, when he was around, and when he couldn't be found he wasn't as good at hiding that bottle of pills as he thought, so this hiring process could easily wait until Tony was done here and somebody else could have a different physician. It was a cruel abandonment to weather this position he didn't want at the hospital just long enough to hand Tony off in the middle of the disaster he didn't want to be having, either. Tony knew he didn't want to be here, so he didn't protest the corralling, slinking more meekly at the reminder. But Tony didn't want to be here without him, either.

Not any less aggressively, Tony hissed, "Did you check his credentials? He doesn't know what lights are," then to Wen Ning, "You're not going to try to balance my humours, are you? Just so you know, I don't do leeches."

"I had assumed I would have your support in this when I had mentioned I was a healer. You seemed to have given me the support when I arrived here. Yet, I feel that support was shallow?

You seem to fear my skills because I am from a less advanced world then the world you are familiar with. If that is how you feel then so be it. Perhaps, I shouldn't have openly trusted you from the start."

Wen Ning frowned as he looked between Tony and Jon. His one hand was clinched in anger, that he kept concealed in his expressions. Anger at himself for trusting others in a strange world as he tried to find his own footing in it. Angry at not being able to prove himself. Angry that people would continue to doubt him.

He turned to Jon and gave a bow of apology to him. "I apologize, but it seems that my skills are not accepted here." He then turned and left picking up his bag of herbs with him.
