[Vietnam's voice is quietly strained, a bit faint, but otherwise as measured as ever.] I hope you are all in good health today. [With the formality out of the way:] If I could... speak to one of you who is a doctor, please. I do not wish to put myself under the care of the drones at the hospital. I'll give my sincerest gratitude

[BREATHING HEAVILY WITH REPRESSED ANGER who does he have to curbstomp today] Why are you in need of a doctor?

[lotuslife]

[OH GOD CHARLES LMFAO she's just listening to him on the other end of the line with a severe amount of concern...] You don't sound well yourself, Charles! [yes take the focus off of her...]

[decadenzas]

[nope not going to work this time he has a mission now] It mustn't be a good situation if you feel the need to dodge questions so soon.

[lotuslife]

I'm not dodging anything, Charles. I simply need to see a trustworthy doctor.

[decadenzas]

And I'm asking why that's a necessity in the first place. People in good health don't spontaneously decide to visit a doctor.

[lotuslife]

It's not a spontaneous thing, really. It is something I'm used to.

[decadenzas]

...Have you been shot at again?

[lotuslife]

Nothing like that.

[decadenzas]

[what else could she possibly be used to that requires medical attention...] Did you throw your back out?

[lotuslife]

...No. It is more personal than that.

[decadenzas]

Am I going to have to continue playing guess the ailment?

[lotuslife]

Let it go, Charles.

[decadenzas]

Why should I? If it's enough to force you to contact a doctor, I won't just let it go.

[lotuslife]

Because even if I told you, there's nothing you can do. [so blunt...]

[decadenzas]

Even if I can't do anything preventative, I can make certain that you won't have to deal with it again. [still assuming she got in a fight with someone...]

[lotuslife]

Ah, no, I won't. ...Trust me.
