"I'm alright." It's not exactly the truth, but it's as close as he's going to get. He's tired, but no more than he would've been otherwise after a rough healing; the problem here is that that healing was simple and shouldn't have taken nearly as much out of him as it did.
But 'my powers aren't working correctly' is something of a known issue here, and there's no use further discussing it right now - not with other matters at hand.
He doesn't say anything about Jingyi's modesty issue - nothing he has to add will be helpful, and the sali has it well enough in hand anyway. Instead, he focuses on their questions. "There are a little over a hundred of us. We brought our own food and shelter, but anything to support that would be helpful, as long as it doesn't take away from what you need." Because a hundred people needing supplies can be daunting depending on the situation, and he doesn't want to ask too much of a people who are already dealing with a disaster. "The goal is to repair things as best we can and figure out a way to get rid of the birds. As far as I know, we're still figuring out how things work here, so we don't have a detailed plan yet. If you can help us understand the situation better, we can help you fix it." He pauses for a moment, thinking over his next words. "We didn't even know about the Forever Ones until we met the one on the central island - Hemla," he says, as he pulls the name from the recesses of his memory.
