[Gerard blinks, and then goes back to his crafting]
Spiral again? Mum isn't home. Do you need a book?
Huh? Who's...? Well, I love books, if you're offering any I have some earth- money. I have money. This is a shop, isn't it?
They aren't good books, they're Leitners. And if you haven't already discussed it with her I can't sell to you.
Oh, no. What are you doing with bad books? That's got to be, well, bad, hah!
{ ...hys speaking in the voice one would use to indulge a kid. Which Gerry is but- }
[But he isn't a kid. Being a kid is for people from the normal world]
Mum deals in Leitners. She thinks she can use them for her own means.
Huh. Those sound like cursed tomes. Wait, are you hurt? Have you been touched by anything in there??
{ Hys expression [?] turns more serious and Hy approaches nervously }
[He quickly gets defensive]
No, mum taught me better than that. I don't get hurt, and when I do it's 'cause I messed up.
Would you consider that a normal thing for children, then? Uhhhhh I mean it's because I haven't talked to one before and- yeah. Yes.
{ Maybe it was like walking, risky but needed ...? }
No, It's not normal. Most people don't know about the dread powers.
Oh. Uhm. I can try cleansing you, then. I'm a he- a doctor, so. It's probably bad to have that type of stuff wrapped around a growing person. Like it is with you.
[His eyes narrow in suspicion]
You can't clean the Fears off of something. The best thing to do is to leave it alone if you can.
You... can? It's like any other illness, really, like the thing growing in your head, it's all... huzzah! You know? Oh, you probably don't, uhm. You're still developing, so. It's probably just that. But if you don't want it I can't do anything. So... that's that?
Hm. How do I know you won't just make it worse?
Wha- because I'm a healer. A doctor. It'd be against my purpose! The ones that would make it worse would be a... not. Healer. Like in the books that are around here!
If good powers existed then people wouldn't be getting hurt. Are you Spiral?
Oh, eugh, I'm no servant of any of those deities. Well, I'd think there would be a solution to that stuff, but I haven't seen any yet. Which is. Concerning.
Being cleansed would be pointless. I'm going to have to go back out eventually.
{ Hy looks really troubled by Gerry's stubbornness }
But... I'm a healer. I'm supposed to save people. It's what I do.
Then go help a kid who this'll work on. Or an adult, plenty of adults run into Leitners.
You're right here, and it's perfectly easy for me to help. It's illogical to ignore something that can be done so convienently. Something I was made for.
I don't need to be saved, this is where I belong. Someone else probably needs you more.
I can do the both of you, then. But- if you're unwilling- I really can't-
{ Hy sighs, twisting hys hands together. }
I'm not going to force you. But atleast try and see reason.
Even if you managed to somehow unmark me, mum would notice. It would only make things worse.
{ Raphael deflates, finally backing off. }
Oh.
{ There's a long stretch of silence. }
You're hungry. Can I atleast help with that?
[He perked up a bit]
You have food?
I do! I have a bunch of food, it's important for growth and repair! And I could make some if you don't feel like eating meat. You are seriously deficient in white blood cells, did you know that?
Deficient in what? I'm fine with meat, I just forget sometimes. I should get groceries soon...
They're what protect you from viruses and all that nasty stuff. Uhm. You usually have a... table. Right? To eat? Where is your- kitchen! It's a kitchen. Where is it?
{ Hys sort of given up pretending to be a person }
So they defend against the Corruption. Kitchen's downstairs, here.
[He got up and led hym downstairs to the kitchen table]
Not all disease is from the Corruption, you know. Sometimes things just are. Thanks. I'll... get some plates. Be civil and all.
All disease can be of the Corruption. It depends on if you're afraid of it. It's better to be safe.
That's very closed minded thinking.
{ Whatever. Hy wasn't here to argue. }
Be back in a bit, ok?
Yeah, sure.
[He said as though he didn't fully believe hym. It'd be just his luck to be stood up by free food]
{ Raphael did come back with food. It smelt delicious! }
It's a bit hot, I got it warmed because it breaks down faster that way, but it'll need a bit to cool- you know how to do this.
{ There's a nice, warm plate of chicken in front of Gerry. }
{ ...no utensils }
[He gets up to get utensils]
I do. Are you sure it's edible?
{ There's an angel of your choice in front of you ! }

Then go help a kid who this'll work on. Or an adult, plenty of adults run into Leitners.
You're right here, and it's perfectly easy for me to help. It's illogical to ignore something that can be done so convienently. Something I was made for.
I don't need to be saved, this is where I belong. Someone else probably needs you more.
I can do the both of you, then. But- if you're unwilling- I really can't-
{ Hy sighs, twisting hys hands together. }
I'm not going to force you. But atleast try and see reason.
Even if you managed to somehow unmark me, mum would notice. It would only make things worse.

[Gerard blinks, and then goes back to his crafting]
Spiral again? Mum isn't home. Do you need a book?
Huh? Who's...? Well, I love books, if you're offering any I have some earth- money. I have money. This is a shop, isn't it?
They aren't good books, they're Leitners. And if you haven't already discussed it with her I can't sell to you.
Oh, no. What are you doing with bad books? That's got to be, well, bad, hah!
{ ...hys speaking in the voice one would use to indulge a kid. Which Gerry is but- }
[But he isn't a kid. Being a kid is for people from the normal world]
Mum deals in Leitners. She thinks she can use them for her own means.
Huh. Those sound like cursed tomes. Wait, are you hurt? Have you been touched by anything in there??
{ Hys expression [?] turns more serious and Hy approaches nervously }
[He quickly gets defensive]
No, mum taught me better than that. I don't get hurt, and when I do it's 'cause I messed up.
Would you consider that a normal thing for children, then? Uhhhhh I mean it's because I haven't talked to one before and- yeah. Yes.
{ Maybe it was like walking, risky but needed ...? }
No, It's not normal. Most people don't know about the dread powers.
Oh. Uhm. I can try cleansing you, then. I'm a he- a doctor, so. It's probably bad to have that type of stuff wrapped around a growing person. Like it is with you.
[His eyes narrow in suspicion]
You can't clean the Fears off of something. The best thing to do is to leave it alone if you can.
You... can? It's like any other illness, really, like the thing growing in your head, it's all... huzzah! You know? Oh, you probably don't, uhm. You're still developing, so. It's probably just that. But if you don't want it I can't do anything. So... that's that?
Hm. How do I know you won't just make it worse?
Wha- because I'm a healer. A doctor. It'd be against my purpose! The ones that would make it worse would be a... not. Healer. Like in the books that are around here!
If good powers existed then people wouldn't be getting hurt. Are you Spiral?
Oh, eugh, I'm no servant of any of those deities. Well, I'd think there would be a solution to that stuff, but I haven't seen any yet. Which is. Concerning.
Being cleansed would be pointless. I'm going to have to go back out eventually.
{ Hy looks really troubled by Gerry's stubbornness }
But... I'm a healer. I'm supposed to save people. It's what I do.
