[Andromeda is surrounded by what looks like a small mountain of gifts. Maybe she went a little overboard this year, but the holidays last year had been dampened by the whole impending doom thing, so she has to make up for it!]I know that the Weasleys will be having their own holiday party at the nouveau-Burrow, but you know me -- I can't say no to

[andromynous]

I don't think we've met.

[Raised. Eyebrow.]

[andromynous]

I just like to know who I'm speaking to, that's all.

[If they're going with titles...]

Andromeda Tonks. Nurse Tonks, if we're doing titles.

[andromynous]

Ah, of course not. I apologize if I came off as rude.

[She's just a bit rushed. He's being -- kind so far, so there's that.]

Not at a hospital at all, actually -- at the imPort clinic, so that's likely why we haven't met.

Andromeda is fine.

[andromynous]

It's a challenge, to say the least. Keeps me busy.

[But she's not going to really say much else about it, considering the patient-nurse confidentiality and all.]

Do you have any holiday plans, then?

[andromynous]

I'm sure you've seen a few people around who aren't exactly human.

[She really can't say, in other words. She's not going to put Terezi's medical concerns out in the open.]

What circumstances, exactly? Work?

[andromynous]

I'm not sure what that has to do with anything, Doctor. Am I missing something?

[She blinks.]

Oh? That sounds unpleasant.

[andromynous]

I think that whoever did that to another human being has some serious problems.

[andromynous]

It was cruel.
