[Walter has recorded a video message from the point of view of someone who has just come through the door into his cabin and sees Walter at his desk in the chair turned around to face the viewer. He gives a little salute-wave.]

Didn't get me. But nice try.

Oh, no, no, I'm sorry about that, and he's just joking... With all due respect, me converting might be a thing in another lifetime if it happens at all...

[He wanted to reassure the young man after any offense and then remained quiet to leave him to his task.]

[ What Walter couldn't see was Wu Xin's slight smirk. The monk was clearly teasing him. ]

A good thing. Donor Walter's face wouldn't be so shapely without hair.

[ And it wasn't look before he touched upon the island and could let Walter down. That might have been faster than a ride on jet skis! Thank you for traveling Wu Xin travels. Please remember to tip the driver~ ]

[Walter is thinking about this the whole time, and he's restlessly stroking his own face for a moment after the ride is over. Is the stubble too scraggly? Okay, wait, first things first. Reverent bow!!]

Thank you.

[Hmmm...]

How does this even work?

[He waves his hand at all of Wu Xin.]

[skybeyondsky]

[ Wu Xin, genuinely amused, gestured at himself as well. ]

Donor would first need to have the ambience of a monk. Grace, and a benevolent face.

[ He raised up a hand and returned a half bow slowly as if showing that off. He was completely pulling Walter's leg. ]

And the calmness of mind so even the water will not part as you step upon its surface.

[ He jumped back swiftly in a graceful leap and landed on the water's surface while still facing Walter. Wu Xin smiled at him teasingly. ]

Take care, donor Walter. This benevolent and graceful monk need to get back to his rescuing.

[On a conscious level, Walter is just being nice, but he blinks, driven by a part of himself that does genuinely wonder whether Wu Xin is from a milieu where meditation alone does eventually make such things posisble.]

I'll have a long time to ponder while you're doing the good work, that's for sure. You be safe too, alright.
