[ there's nothing he can do for the state of the roads, which he weirdly would've thought might actually be better in hell, but clearly that's not the case. at least they'll be there sooner! at least they won't sit in silence because ryouma finds a way to fill it. ]

If you ever need anything in the future, you can always call, by the way.

[ since he doesn't expect her to know this unless he explicitly makes the offer here. ]

I'll send you an address later too. It's where I keep an office. Never know when you or somebody you know needs someplace to go, right? I work for the Alliance, but we're all Lost Souls and we oughta look out for each other. Otherwise, I intend to work with all the clans in the future, so it's just good business.

[ ryouma can't complain — everything he's been saying about his strategy revolves around people being motivated by money. the cabbie is just being a great example~

he looks at the message when she holds it over for him to read, and he beams at her, happy to see it. ]


Might take you up on that. I've been trying to get a good idea of what Tamamo has to offer — especially the "fancy shit".

[ so thanks for the useful hookup, kate! he'll still send the location over anyway, but since it's up to other people to come to him, he doesn't expect anyone to show up if they don't trust him or don't have a reason to be there anyway. ]

[ too bad! you're just going to have to deal with it, kate~ she can go commiserate about it with izō later. it's also an apologetic smile given the abrupt ending to their ride. and now he pays his pricey cab fare and thanks the cabbie profusely before opening the door. ]

Alright! Just once more and then this problem'll all be over, yeah?

[ meaning as soon as she's ready, he'll go ahead and carry her inside. ]

[thankfully for them, the clinic is slower right now - always a relief to Emily, to see less people in need of help, for it means they're well. so she's at the front, doing paperwork, which means she sees Ryouma bringing in the girl, and stands up immediately. no visible blood, but that doesn't mean things are fine. no obvious broken limbs, either, but perhaps a fracture. there are just too many ways that someone could wind up carried in here.

to Kate, she'll see a woman that looks entirely unassuming, brown hair pulled back in a bun. no white coat of a doctor, but she talks like her word is law here, even with a kinder tone.]


Mr. Sakamoto - goodness, you better come to the exam room. Can you tell me what the matter is?

[as she turns away to gather something, there they are, the black wings folded snug to her back, as if they wanted to take up as little space as possible.]

Broken ribs. And that's about all I know right now.

[ because it's not his story to tell so he's only going to relay the most pertinent information. and since ryouma takes emily's word as law because it's not his place, he's just going to follow her right into wherever she wants them. ]

Bit of a trek getting over here, but I knew she'd be in good hands.

[ because, like it or not, you are a friend now, kate. ]

[she has Ryouma lay the young woman down on the table - it's sturdier, and there is a pillow, a true one there. looking her over, Emily frowns, glad she can breathe but thinking about how to proceed.]

That's unlikely. However, I'd like to see the injury before I make my final judgements.

[looking back to Ryouma, she indicates with her head that he should leave, and close the door behind him - he can wait in the front, if he'd like.]

...Of course, that's by your leave, miss.

[her eyes take in the dress, but there's not a trace of judgement - just a simple analysis since she can't see the extent of the bruising without permission. it won't be hard to examine her, but she's in the habit of asking instead of being grabby.

if it's mild, she can simply rely on one of the concoctions - if it's deeper, she'll know that she should use her own power for it.]

Don't worry, I've got you. Just relax.

[true to her words, she does, and her hands are steady, gentle. if Kate goes along with her, she'll hardly have to lift a finger - Emily will do the work of getting the dress out of the way herself. she stays calm, and it's only when the bruising is exposed that her expression shifts into something that's a mix of concern and sympathy.]

That must feel ghastly. I'll have to ask you some particulars later, but for now...let's get this taken care of, hm?

[taking in a breath, she reaches for the power inside of her, and lays her hands on Kate's injury. a soft light blooms from them, and though they're inside, it feels like a light breeze is coming by, bringing fresh air through, wind that gathers to them. a warmth will spread through Kate - the pain erased with it, filling her up, and if she's watching she'll see the bruises lessen and disappear. her ribs, in Emily's mind, being brought back to alignment, reconnecting, growing strong again. things that are broken to be mended, back to how they would be with time, in proper places.

when she senses it's enough, she pulls back. the light and the breeze die down, and the warmth of the healing is left to dissipate. blinking, she removes her hands, studying where the injury was.]


That should do it. Good as new.

[not a trace it was ever there, except in her memory. no need to have to lay in bed in her apartment for any reason other than sleeping in.]

[personal profile] medicative 2022-06-08 01:18 am (UTC)(link)
[stepping back to allow the young woman her space, she busies herself with putting something away in a cabinet, back in its proper place, before answering, and names a number that will probably strike Kate as rather low for the level of work that just happened.]

Of course, if that's too much, we can work out some form of trade as well. We like to remain flexible here, to be able to treat as many patients as we can.

[this is why the clinic is half a charity project, really.]

And oh, everything happened so quickly, I didn't even introduce myself to you. Terribly sorry, to have forgotten that - I'm Emily Dyer, one of the resident physicians of this clinic.
medicative: (bearing.)

[personal profile] medicative 2022-06-11 09:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Always, as it happens. But you needn't worry about needing to immediately do that - we'll sort things out once you've had some time to live without pain, and doubtless you're already busy.

[so, on her own time. Emily's only ruthless with debts when it comes to grown men she can command into service to move furniture.]

[personal profile] medicative 2022-06-11 10:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course. I'm quite easy to reach.

[given that her handle on this digital network is merely her name.]

...May I ask how all of this came about? You said you got hit with a bat - it'd be helpful to know if I should be expecting more patients.
medicative: (speak.)

[personal profile] medicative 2022-06-11 10:50 pm (UTC)(link)
A bird?

[she has a sinking feeling in her stomach about this.]
medicative: (work.)

[personal profile] medicative 2022-06-11 10:58 pm (UTC)(link)
...I see.

[she says it calmly, and manages to smile.]

I'll have to keep an eye out.

[or just simply call him as soon as Ryouma and Kate leave.]
