[Hey, look, it's an actual post from Mamoru and not accidental twerking feed. Even if he feels a bit sheepish after such a performance to make a post, but whatever. He can handle it.]

Hello, my name is Mamoru Chiba. I'm a medical student back home and I was hoping to use those skills to my advantage here. I am aware we have healing magic, even if I don't possess it, but I still wish to help. Healers might need to first identify the problem before they're able to use their magic, after all, which is what I could help with. Does that make sense?

[At least it made sense to him, but he wanted to make sure it actually did.]

That being said, I would be interested in working in a small clinic. I'm not sure if I would want to establish one myself, but I could definitely help with the management side as well.

[He's not a qualified doctor yet, so starting his own clinic wasn't really ideal.]

I suppose I could also provide anyone with medical herbs, considering I have green magic. It's an option, at least.

[ooc: as always, Sailor Moon 4th Walling is OK and they're not secretive about magical-ness anyway.]

Yeah. It's part of my waterbending skills back home but this place replaced it with healing magic as soon as I arrived. But it sure has been very useful, while we have been traveling all around the world and getting into all kinds of -- situations. And even before I learned those skills, I used to try helping with things like that as much as I could.

Using water for healing? That is an interesting concept. I would like to hear more about that sometime, of you're willing to tell me.

That's a wonderful attitude to have.

Mmhmm, it's the catalyst for it and thank you, I may be biased but it really is an interesting and great way to heal. Of course, I would love to tell more about it now or later, whenever you have time.

Admittedly I'm more of a fighter these days but maybe one day, when I'll be too old to fight, I'll focus on healing. Or I'm just really lucky that we don't need healing to be my main focus back home now.

[Yeah she is only going to be the best Healer of her entire world, when she'll be old...]

I have time now.

[It's a quiet moment of the day for him. Usagi must be out with Marshmallow or at work.]

Admittedly, I also focused quite a bit on fighting and protecting our home while also studying. Even if our lives get hectic often, I still hold onto my aspirations.

[Even if he knows he will one day become King, medical knowledge is still important.]

Okay. Well, first of all waterbending is the ability to control and manipulate water - but it's different than Elemental magic here because no one creates magical water by themselves but takes water from all around us. Even from the air and other nature once you become more advanced with it and don't have to rely on large bodies of water or snow around you. And some people are just born with it, like I'm the only waterbender from the Southern Water Tribe and there are many more in the Northern one but most people aren't benders.

Healing uses water as a catalyst to heal sick and injured people by redirecting their energy paths or chi throughout the body. I accidentally discovered my healing abilities, when I put my injured hands into water and it started glowing... It always glows during healing but most of the time I have some water between me and an injured person instead of them being in the water. And most women are only Healers where I'm from, but I had a fight against my teacher to learn both after traveling to the other side of the world for someone to teach me more about waterbending.

[Ah, good memories of yelling at him there...]

Guess there are a lot of us, who are fighting and protecting our home here. I hope you get to study more and fight less by life calming down there. We just reached the end of a really long war back home.

[Mamoru listens to her explanation with full interest. Elemental magic was similar to what the sailor senshi used back home, so hearing about water abilities different from both this world and home was fascinating.]

Can you also manipulate ice or is it just water?

[She did mention snow, but you could always just take water out of it and leave it at that.]

I'm glad you were able to convince him to teach you. But that is a really amazing way of healing. How do you feel it differs from Healing magic that's used here? Were you able to adapt to it well?

Yeah, ice is a part of it too. Anything with water in it is a part of it. And my tribe is from the South Pole of our own world map, so I had lots and lots of ice, snow and water to practice with back when I was still there without a teacher, but able to play with my bending skills even a little.

[...She almost regrets saying that considering the word anything there about it because yeah, hi bloodbending, she doesn't miss that.]

The only reason why he agreed to teach me was because he found out, that I'm related to someone special to him. But we're in great terms these days, really, so that's nice. It -- well, obviously there's no water between it even though I could try something similar these days, when I got Elemental as my secondary magic but it just wouldn't feel like the same thing. But it's not that different? Energies flowing in both, it was pretty easy to adapt to it, I guess my most common problem was remembering that I don't need water with it now. Feels like a similar, warm flow and sometimes glow and all, it's been pretty great. Or I just adapted to use it similarly to my water-based healing, maybe, since that's what I'm familiar with.

[See, now you've given her something to think about too like she will think about answers to these questions a lot and maybe give him an updated version later.]

[Mamoru's thoughts definitely go into "Human body is made 70% of water", but he doesn't say anything about it out loud. It's scary enough a thought as is. Maybe one day they can discuss that, but today is not that day.]

Having healed with water for so long, it's no wonder you tend to forget. I'm sure with time, you'll be able to adjust to it enough to make it a routine - without forgetting how you do it at home.
