"Oh dear," Yin Yue said, her voice filled with concern. "I didn't realize the situation was so difficult for you." She placed a comforting hand on his back and began to gently rub circles, hoping it would help ease some of his tension.

"Perhaps...perhaps I can assist you?" she suggested tentatively. "There are many techniques in my arsenal that could help improve one's endurance and focus. If you were willing, I could teach them to you."

Yin Yue smiled softly at him and gave his shoulder a reassuring squeeze. "I understand your concerns," she said, her voice gentle. "It's natural to feel protective over something you've worked so hard to build." She paused for a moment, considering her next words carefully. "Perhaps we should go over the list of new arrivals together? That way, I can help identify any potential trouble-makers and we can come up with strategies to deal with them before they cause too much issue?"
