[He won't touch that comment, it reminds him just a little too much of Hojo. Instead he continues on through the tunnels until he finally comes up to the edge of the lake. It didn't really surprise him really, he'd smelt and heard the water before actually coming upon it.

Looking, he couldn't see any way across which didn't involve actually getting into the water.]

I imagine if we want to go further we'll have to wade across this.

[And putting action to his words, he stepped off into the water. Though he'd only gone one pace into it when two things were brought to his attention. One was the apparent chill of the water and the second was there was something in the water that obviously didn't appreciate invaders.

Backtracking to get back onto dry ground, he used his sword to impale the fish attached to his lower arm and then the one attached to his thigh. Actually detaching them hurt almost worse than their initial bite, but he got them off and then ignoring the bloodshed from both injuries offered the creatures toward the doctor.]

I believe we've found the denizens of this place and I don't think we're wanted to get across that lake.

[He'd only gotten one step into it, he didn't like to think just how many others would come after them if they attempted to cross into it, provided the chill didn't cramp their muscles up and kill them with hypothermia first.]

Sorry I took so long! ;;;

[xblood_lusting]

[ He nodded in agreement, following after the general as he pressed on. But the sound alerted him, even more when Sephiroth drew his blade out.

No denying the man's skill with the blade was remarkable. The doctor didn't even have time to charge up a proper shield before it was all over. Admittedly, it brought him back to watching Oriya at work with his kata in the early mornings.

There was a moment's pause though after it was all over. ]

I'd suggest against advancing any further until we've managed to deal with those injuries.

[ Further glance at the water and said specimens. ]

Or as long as these creatures remain protective of the water.

no problem <3

[glorious_mercy]

[He's dislodging said specimens off the sword now, and knocking their blood off of it before sheathing the katana. Looking at his bloody right arm, he wipes his gloved left hand across the gash in the leather where he'd been bitten to remove most of the blood and show the injury already well on its way to being half healed already.]

My body will deal with the injuries... but I don't believe we'll be able to cross that water regardless. If the creatures didn't get us first, the chill of the waters would.

XD;; my drive needs to come back.

[xblood_lusting]

[ He was just about taking some tissue and blood samples from the fish when...

Oh. Oh, well that was new. That was certainly new. Self healing? Really, General. ]

Perhaps we should turn back for now.

[ But he's still eyeing that wound. It should have been much deeper than expected, certainly needing some bandaging and taking at least a day to heal... Mind racing. No, calm down. Calm down.

Should go about this the logical way. The last time he tried, well... ]

But... how is it that your body can manage to deal with those injuries? Surely, this manner of self restoration...

slow tags are better than none :3

[glorious_mercy]

[Inasmuch as he'd like to wash the blood off him, he doesn't think sticking any part of his body back into the water now that he's likely roused the creatures in the lake to his presence would be exactly wise, so he'll just deal with it for the time being.]

It would seem to be the wisest choice.

[He dropped his arm down, and used the already bloodied hand to wipe away the blood from the leg wound, it was healing as well which was reassuring. Likely by the time they reached the exit, both injuries would be healed completely.]

I was born with the ability...

[Before he'd spoken with his mother, he might have said something about it likely being due to being SOLDIER, but even if that's still partially true, it's too much of a coincidence that he, Genesis and Angeal all held such similar a healing ability and were all part of apparently a project involving the ancient remains of a cetra. So, sorry doctor, that's currently you're going to get out of him.]

;w;

[xblood_lusting]

Interesting.

[ He wants to pry further but there were moments where his curiosity got the better of him. After all, Tsuzuki wasn't exactly the most willing of test subjects. But to think, someone who had the same ability here in the city who wasn't dead.

If only Vatheon would give him his brother head tank for Christmas. ]

It's best we do turn back for now. I have my samples and a deeper knowledge of this place which hopefully will shine a little more light onto this city.

[ Eyeing that injury. ]

Though... I would still wish to check on you upon our return to the clinic, if that's alright.

<3

[glorious_mercy]

[Sephiroth nodded once in agreement to both statements, moving to walk past the doctor back the way they had come.]

If you insist, you can reassure yourself once we're there.
