[erythristic]

it's more that i'm not versed in the situation of telling someone they were sent their own detached limb. one doesn't really break that news gently.

[daemonized]

Then perhaps getting straight to the point is the only real option. Consider how you would want to be told, if this were something that was happening to you.

[erythristic]

bluntly, and then i'd want several minutes to feel the order of the world as i knew it collapsing around me.

[daemonized]

And so would you prefer not being told at all, then?

[erythristic]

no, i'd want to be told. i just know it'd be life changing.

maybe i should ask if i can talk to him outside the office. that might help.

[daemonized]

In order to instill a sense of calm beforehand? It may be worth the effort; I wonder how intimidating others might find your office if they're not yet familiar with it.

[(Honestly, Ardyn, if there's any office that truly instills a sense of fear in others, it's probably yours.)]

[erythristic]

i couldn't say, since most of those who have to see the exam rooms aren't really in the capacity to complain.

[you know. since they're dead.]

[daemonized]

A fair point. But those in the exam rooms may be the cause of this undue tension for some poor, unfamiliar soul in the first place. I wouldn't know from personal experience, but I can only assume that dead bodies tend to do that.

[erythristic]

they're all safely tucked into their drawers before the living come along, i try to make that the case. my patients don't have to come face to face with each other, they all deserve their privacy.

[daemonized]

How gracious of you, to have only their best interests in mind. I hear that the dead only ever want to rest, after all, and it's nice of you to give them their proper spaces to allow for this to happen.

If any more wayward body parts come under your care, you'll let me know, won't you? This is one mystery that I'd like to follow.

[erythristic]

of course. if i end up reassembling a whole person, i won't keep quiet about that affair.

[daemonized]

If you end up reassembling a /whole/ person, I'm going to start calling you Doctor Frankenstein.

[erythristic]

i will consider it a badge of honor.

[daemonized]

A badge of honor? A threshold, maybe, indicating with assuredness that you've officially moved into "mad scientist" territory.

[erythristic]

i thought we were at that point when i was conducting self-experimentation.

[daemonized]

But you decided to step back from all that, therefore rescinding your title. Something that's a bit more difficult to do when it comes to stitching random body parts together.

[erythristic]

who said they'd be random? i would make sure they were at least blood type compatible.

[daemonized]

Oh, well. If they're /compatible/, then I take it back. You wouldn't be a mad scientist at all, merely a very thoughtful one.

[erythristic]

no, i'd still be wondrously, gloriously mad. consideration and madness are not mutually exclusive.

i do swear that all questionable experiments would be conducted on those too dead to care.

[daemonized]

A fair point. Still, you're not going to go even madder with power once you have your first, (not) living and breathing undead on your hands, will you?

[erythristic]

if i do, i ask that you bring me back to my senses. destroy the creature, even if i ask you not to.

[daemonized]

Destroy it? With what? My healing prowess?

[what is this, some video game where the undead take damage against cure magic or something]

[erythristic]

if that'll help you sever the head from the body, then sure.

[daemonized]

I'm not certain healing and decapitation are two skills that go hand-in-hand, Grell. I may be more useless when faced with a hulking undead than you think.

[erythristic]

the weekly training sessions exist, if you'd like to change that.

[she's teasing just a bit.]
