Nah, we're just people, just like you. We just have different biology, is all. Different numbers of heart valves and olfactory bulbs and junk. Definitely not able to inhale burning leaves and feel calm about it, I'm pretty sure!

[afineknight]

[ He's putting the cigarette out now, far more interested in her. ]

Forgive me for being fascinated, but I'm a doctor. Crois — of Daffodil.

[ He gestures over at some daffodils nearby at that. ]

[wants_the_phd]

Nice to meet you. I'm Azdaja, of Rose.

[afineknight]

Rose, eh? You guys did well for yourselves yesterday.

[wants_the_phd]

Well, I didn't have anything to do with that, so I can hardly take any credit on that front.

You guys won too, didn't you?

[afineknight]

Somehow, yes. We were quite fortunate.

[ He literally carried the rest of his team on his back to the flag, thanks for not moving it. ]

[wants_the_phd]

Wait, weren't you the guy carrying the whole rest of the team on your back?

[afineknight]

Guilty as charged.

[wants_the_phd]

That was an impressive feat of strength! Is that a normal carrying capacity for an adult human of your size?

[afineknight]

It looked more impressive than it was. They were all quite light all things considered.

[wants_the_phd]

Well, I doubt I could have done it, so it's still impressive to me. And for that to have been a negligible experience for you... well.

[afineknight]

Muffin has hollow bones. And Biscuit is far too light for his own good. Appearances can be deceiving.

[wants_the_phd]

See, with teammates like that, I would have assumed you were used to non-humans by now.

[afineknight]

They are fascinating, although I believe Biscuit is just slightly malnourished. But! It is my goal to be a good doctor even to the non-humans here.

[wants_the_phd]

Would that make you a doctor or a veterinarian?

[afineknight]

I feel like the latter would be insulting to some.

[wants_the_phd]

Haha.

Well, I'm sure it's not a bad thing to offer some alternatives to healing via magic. Do you have many patients?

[afineknight]

I helped all of Lily last night. Does that count?

[wants_the_phd]

[ ? ]

What happened to Lily?

[afineknight]

They blew up.

[wants_the_phd]

Oh, in the game yesterday?

I missed that.

[afineknight]

No, afterwards. All of the losers were turned into living bombs.

[wants_the_phd]

Is that a normal thing that happens after rituals?

[afineknight]

The exploding is a first.

[wants_the_phd]

[Fuckin' YIKES.]

So... how did you help them... with their explosion problem...?
