What happened?

[healingcock]

I expelled all my energy into reviving someone and it put me out of commission for a little over a week. Which is a lot shorter than I anticipated-- I was expecting to be out for a few years, at least.

[areplicatedhope]

Are you sure you should be around, then? You could still relapse.

[healingcock]

It doesn't work like that. I'm fine now.

What I'm concerned about is you; how are you holding up? I left you at an awful time.

[areplicatedhope]

I'm fine! You should worry about yourself first.

[healingcock]

I told you I'm alright. I know my body better than anyone. And besides, between the two of us, I wasn't the one disintegrating.

[areplicatedhope]

No, you were the one in the coma!

[PAUSE. as best as one can pause when typing things.]

Sorry. I was worried about you.

[healingcock]

[pause]

Thank you. You worry too much about others and not enough about yourself.

[areplicatedhope]

It's not that. I know I don't have long and if I worry about myself, it'll just seem shorter and I'll resent what time I do have.

[healingcock]

My job is to prolong that time as much as I can, especially in dangerous circumstances. I acted completely recklessly without regard to your well-being, which is-- forgive the pun-- a cardinal sin amongst doctors.

I'm sorry for my actions, Luke.

[areplicatedhope]

It's fine! You saved someone's life! Why would I be upset about that?

[healingcock]

Because I put yours in jeopardy without even informing you first.

[areplicatedhope]

You saved my life. You gave me something I never expected to have.

It's like you want me to be mad at you. Well, I won't be.

[healingcock]

I expect you to be mad at me. There's a difference.

[areplicatedhope]

I told you, I'm not going to be.

[healingcock]

Well, fine.
