[It’s a late night post, a video display of Zack from his chin on down, facing a clear glass bowl with a golden fish idly swimming in lackadaisical circles. He really needs to put more stuff in there, you know. Fake plastic trees. Treasure chests. Something. Gil has to get bored with just those precious rocks given to him from small, kind hands…]

[ Sorry Zack. He is a doctor.
Well.
When it isn't annoying. ]

Huh? Oh! [He looks down at his hand, out of camera range.] It's not so bad, really. Just healing up kinda slow. I'll be fine.

It wouldn't be wise to leave it. Have you seen a professional?

I--um-- I'm getting it taken care of. Besides, I don't want to bug anyone with it, not when they're busy with other stuff.
[And not when he's scared of the white coats...]

You'll put doctors out of business with an attitude like that.
[ In other words, why can't more patients be like you. But, he does have to express the offer. It's part of that oath they take. ]
Are you sure? It wouldn't be any trouble.
[ Good thing for Zack. Jin doesn't look that good in white. His coat is green. ]

And that would be a bad thing? [Oh, social mistake, big time there. But he's none the wiser. Ho hummm.
[At least, he's not until you just had to go and say that at the end.] Wai--are you a doctor?
[Excuse him; Zack hasn't been paying attention to a lot lately.]
Reply
Perhaps not, but it would be unfortunate for you.
[ Social mistake? Don't know what you're talking about. ]
I've read a few medical books in my day. [ Totally kidding. ] I'm not busy, at least.

Hey, some folks like doctors, and some of them even come in hand. Sometimes. But me? I'm, uh, not so sure about it.
[Nothing to see here, nope nope.]
How many is a few? [As if there's a cutoff...]

Enough to pass as a doctor.
[ Doesn't that put you at ease? ]
Would you like a list of my credentials?
Reply
N-No! Credentials won't help, really. I'm okay. Right as rain. Promise!
[And yes, his voice went up an octave.]
Reply
Hmn. [ He's amused. ]
Very well. Though next time, do try to avoid injuring yourself, if doctors aren't your thing.

Well, it's not like I did it on purpose!
[And have a puppy pout. He doesn't like your accusation, sir.]
Reply
What did happen?
[ That pout. How like a child. It'd be cute. If it were on a puppy or a child. ]
Reply
Got into a little scuffle with someone. Nothing I couldn't handle.
[Well, some folks DO call him a puppy...]
Reply
Hmn.
[ In other words, the blame was half and half. ]
Is this the moment you say 'you should see the other guy'?
[ He can certainly sound like a puppy. ]
Reply
[Wellll, not exactly...]
Nah, but I wish I could say that. [Ouch. Failure reminders sucks.]
[Woof! But he's back to pouting again.]
