[ Positioned behind her chair once more Lamb allows for a few seconds to pass in silence before she begins to speak.Allow me to introduce myself to all new arrivals: My name is Doctor Sofia Lamb. I maintain the medical clinic on the fourth floor as well as my own psychiatric practice next door

I'm willing to help transport the injured.

[Emotional pain...When she says that he sort of turns to the side, but doesn't comment on it.]

[echo_of_utopia]

Thank you, Zuko. [ She smiles. ]

Tell me, how are your own injuries?

[video]

[exiled_torch]

Much better.

[..maybe he should say something.]

But I'm still having a hard time dealing with this place.

[echo_of_utopia]

[ Of course he should. Who could refuse this loving and trustworthy smile, after all? ♥ ]

...Which is perfectly understandable. Is there anything in particular that troubles you? [ A beat. ] Perhaps if you would like to talk about it in person...?

[Sofia's so lucky metal butt isn't here anymore :<]

..Yeah.

[The prince is always troubled. Zuko does trust Sofia enough to talk to her, if she wants to hear it.]

[ No victim, no crime. 0:-) ]

I will be at the clinic all day.

[ She smiles encouragingly. ]

[video/ private]

[exiled_torch]

[lololol.]

I'll be there in an hour.

[ Lamb gives a nod and another smile before ending the transmission.

After that she will simply wait, doing the things a Doctor Lamb does when waiting. Knitting, Embroidery, Brainwa-- Arranging flowers nicely in a vase. ]

[exiled_torch]

[making people commit suicide??]

[Seeing a shrink, great. Maybe he shouldn't be here. He doesn't think he's crazy, but maybe she can help him. Zuko shows up at the clinic promptly and hesitantly opens the door.]

Uh..Hi.

[echo_of_utopia]

[ well maybe that will teach those people to not get their hands on stuff that belongs to other people ]

Zuko. [ She greets him with a smile. ] Please, have a seat.

[exiled_torch]

[ hey least he didn't suffocate her. ]

[Zuko sits down and fidgets uncomfortably. He looks down awkwardly.]

[echo_of_utopia]

Take your time.

[ Lamb folds her hands in her lap, waiting patiently. She has a few more cues if need be, but for now she's willing to see if he can make the first step on his own. ]

[exiled_torch]

[Maybe this was an awful idea.]

I..um..

It's..hard for me to get this place. And my mirror isn't exactly helping, he's crazy. Almost every morning I wake up with notes in blood.

[echo_of_utopia]

Wonderland is perhaps easier to accept than to understand. Its rules have little in common with most other worlds.

...Your Mirror, I suppose, is a more tangible matter at least. Does it trouble you, what he writes?

[exiled_torch]

It has nothing in common with mine. I've never even seen half the things here.

He wants to kill me, and..take my place. Uh..I can't explain it.

..I don't know why someone would want to take my place to begin with.

[echo_of_utopia]

As I understand our mirrors disappear when we return to our worlds. Some have accepted that fate, others believe that by trading places with us they would be allowed to continue their existence.

Some mirrors desire nothing. Others want more for themselves and yet others want to take over what is ours...

[ She pauses. ]

You said you don't know why someone would want to take your place. You were not referring to your place in Wonderland, were you?
