He's ready, and then the plan changes. Isn't that how it always goes.

He can't blame them, though - Jingyi had made it pretty clear that their powers weren't working correctly here, and they'd just seen him heal via use of magic. Better to make sure than make mistakes. "My magic lets me connect my life to another's to heal them, though with my magic not working the way it should here, I may not be able to connect. I'll know if that's the case, though, and I can stop before anything happens." Given just how odd things have been, he wouldn't be surprised if that does wind up being the case. "I also have some separate magical remedies, but if magic doesn't work, I know field medicine - I can set bones, stitch wounds, things like that."
