... Another experiment?

You'll find that it grows and lessens with time. And depends on whether or not you try to take your life within that time frame.

[shunraiken.livejournal.com]

That was a one-time occurrence. You'll note that it hasn't happened since.

[enemy-or-ally.livejournal.com]

Of course. How couldn't I notice?

I'm your doctor after all.

[shunraiken.livejournal.com]

I don't recall asking for that either.

[enemy-or-ally.livejournal.com]

It was a spur of the moment decision. You weren't exactly conscious enough for me to be able to ask for permission to take care of your medical needs. My apologies.

[shunraiken.livejournal.com]

While I'm touched by your concern, I think you've neglected to notice the fact that I happen to be conscious now and am capable of telling you to stop fussing over me.

[enemy-or-ally.livejournal.com]

Oh of course, replace me with one of the more common doctors in Grand Chokmah. I'm sure they'll take your... unique body structure with grace and dignity. Surely none of the other-wordly traits you possess will bother them at all.

[shunraiken.livejournal.com]

They should be able to perform a simple checkup without needing to know that information.

[enemy-or-ally.livejournal.com]

I assure you that a checkup is never simple when you're involved. Are you aware of how fussy you can get?

[shunraiken.livejournal.com]

Forgive me for not enjoying being poked and prodded. I'll try not to bite their heads off next time.

[enemy-or-ally.livejournal.com]

Trying only goes so far, Yuan.

[shunraiken.livejournal.com]

What a pity.

[enemy-or-ally.livejournal.com]

Is that your only response?

[shunraiken.livejournal.com]

Were you expecting something else?

[enemy-or-ally.livejournal.com]

Just a bit of remorse, whether it be pretend or real is little concern of mine, would have bit nice, I admit.

An old man can still dream, can't he?

[shunraiken.livejournal.com]

I'm afraid you're going to be dreaming for a very long time if you're expecting me to be cooperative.

[enemy-or-ally.livejournal.com]

So I've come to realize. But as they say, there's a first time for everything.

[shunraiken.livejournal.com]

Which means there's also a first time for you leaving me alone.

[enemy-or-ally.livejournal.com]

Now now, I've done that many times. Is your memory acting up?

[shunraiken.livejournal.com]

Hardly.

[enemy-or-ally.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't be so sure of that. Do I need to examine the contents of your skull soon? The workings of mind have always fascinated me, so I'd hardly mind.

[shunraiken.livejournal.com]

Try it and I'll be dissecting you first.

[enemy-or-ally.livejournal.com]

.... You take every joke so seriously. It's worse than Luke, really.

[shunraiken.livejournal.com]

With you, one can never tell. You have a bad habit of being serious about those things at the least-expected times.

[enemy-or-ally.livejournal.com]

And yet, you've claimed to know me rather well. I believe you've just contradicted yourself, Yuan.
