[He's a lot worried about Vanille right now, but she has people helping her and he's too far away to get to her in time, anyway... not to mention, the last part of your message has caught his attention.]

Your hands? Are you okay?

[doktorhomicide]

I have fractured mein vrist, but ozhuavise, I vill live.

[escapedpandora]

[That didn't sound good at all, especially with zombies running around. Still, it feels strange for him asking this, so it might come out really awkward.]

Um, are you... in a safe place, at least? Is there anyone to help you?

[Yeah, stupid question, you just requested help.]

[doktorhomicide]

I cleared zuh immediate are a vhile back, but I am sure zhey vill be shambling zheir vay up here any time now. Eizhua vay, I am quite capable of handling meinself.

Zuh concern is appreciated.

[escapedpandora]

[He sounds a bit skeptical, even as he's already on the way out to find Vanille.]

...Even with your hands?

[doktorhomicide]

Ja, as long as one is operational, I should be able to survive until I find somevhere else to hole up. I am a doctor, so I am bettah off zhan most vhen injured.

[escapedpandora]

Okay, then.

[Doctors are good. Besides, he doesn't have a lot of potions on him, and he figured he'd save that for something really bad. Not that he knows whether it works in this world or not.]

Just... Give a shout if you need help? Like. Zombies-help.

[doktorhomicide]

I am sure zuh moment I need help to fight off zhese creatures, is zuh moment zat it vill be too late to help! [Death humor, always a great way to break the ice.]

[escapedpandora]

Well, maybe someone will be close enough to help?

[Kid does not know enough death humor to appreciate it.]

Is... is there anyone else close by your at all?

[doktorhomicide]

Perhaps. But do not take it so seriously. I am merely joking.

[escapedpandora]

O-okay, then. Just. As long as you're alright.

[After all, you don't sound like you're particularly distraught.]

[doktorhomicide]

Completely fine, child. If you require medical help, I vill gladly come find you.

[Don't take it as a philanthropist gesture. Medic just likes to cut people or inject them with things.]

[escapedpandora]

[Except he doesn't know that, so he's totally taking you as the nice, somewhat strange, doctor.]

Thanks! I'm okay, though. I was lucky enough to be somewhere stable when the ground was shaking.

[doktorhomicide]

[oh the poor thing he'll be so disappointed later on]

Vell, if you need me in zuh future, I vill--zombies vithstanding--be around.

[escapedpandora]

Good luck!

[And he's heading out to find Vanille now.]
