They do look interested in the small boy declaring he would fight but they glance at both Lan Wangji and Jake and seem to consider them suitable guardians at least, of this odd child.
"They were out in the forests when the storm hit..."
They looked at Lan Wangji. "Yes. Our bridges are broken. Do you have the skills to fix them?"
"Search the forests. We can definitely do that," Jake agrees. "Er, well, I can do that. I'm used to finding people who aren't in the mood to see me. And y'all can come if you want."
He's indicating his two crewmates from the train, but anyone can come if they like. Emporio, buddy, pal, want to stay with good old Jakey and not do something totally off the wall? Jake then considers the powers problem for a moment.
"I'd help build that bridge, but I didn't have any cool superpowers to start with. Completely ordinary human here! Best I can do is...throw things, probably, and my arm didn't get me on the football team. But search and rescue, yeah, I got this."
"Right..." He takes a deep breath, and nods. "We should pass this on to the others using the SCAs, too. ...And...Um, so that everyone knows what we're working with, I'm going to show Weather for a moment..." he decides, even if hesitantly. "...I don't know how long I'll be able to have him out, but it would help to protect everyone while we're in that forest right? ...And if we have to carry anyone, he can do that too," he says to Jake. Looking back to the Sali, he continues. "...It'll be for a moment, just so you can see who they are- I don't...I don't want to shock anyone later, so..."
With a betraying amount of ease, Weather is summoned- Stands aren't a magical matter, so that part's easy.
What isn't easy, is the part where Weather is essentially a being of his own energy, now exposed to the world; as soon as Weather has misted into existence behind the boy, Emporio visibly looks ill.
He means what he said- it's only a moment, which Weather himself spends bowing in greeting. Certainly, with regular power that would be a helpful ally- but he might not want to spend too much time in the north as he planned.
Weather mists away, and Emporio flashes a somewhat nervous smile.
"The forest is a good place to start." Wangji agrees, in this dense foliage anyone can be lost. He turns back to the Sali at the mention of the bridges, "We can certainly try to fix your bridges, if we do not have the capability then another member of the group almost certainly will. Can you show us the damage?" He turns to Jake and Emporio, "I am happy to go with you to find any survivors, but if we need materials it is better to call it in to those who can transport it first."
The appearance of Weather takes him aback a little, but he recovers admirably and returns the bow as Weather disappears.
The Sali look like they don't quite know what to make of the strange man appearing, bowing and vanishing again but they nod. Understanding that he is part of this very odd group.
"We thank you for your help. We will have groups in the forests searching as well and we shall inform them of your presence, if you require assistance you may reach out to them."
