... I don't feel pain. [ he mentioned this to laurence in trial, but it probably got lost ] I haven't since the fire.
So I don't notice when my injuries reopen, and it takes a long time for them to heal. I don't mention it because it only makes people worry about me more. So... I'm sorry.
[ nodding slightly, letting him stay there as long as he wants. his shoulders are just all covered in the feathers like normal, so maybe it's fluffy and soft and definitely itchy. ]
I've ... heard of conditions like that. It can be dangerous.

[ gently pushing him back, so he can steer him towards the new clinic. ]
And if you get something worse, tell me. I have something that can help.
no subject
Something...? What do you mean?
no subject
[ because it is powerful, and one use, it feels important to be judicious. ]
no subject
Oh, then don't use it on me. If I'm on Death's second doorstep, sure... but I'm really fine otherwise.

I'm really lucky that you care about me so much, Anders. Thank you.
