SHE’S MET MANY MEN LIKE HIM.     men who wield a certain amount of power all have a specific look about them,  she’s noticed  —  the gait,  the posture,  the demeanor,  all separate pieces slotting together into a well-familiar pattern  —  but the more prominent difference comes between a man born already on the summit and one who’s had to meticulously scale his way up the proverbial cliffside.     recounting their interactions so far,  it’s not difficult to discern if,  like her,  he’s ever had to dig dirt out from under his nails.

If anyone thought she could have the coolest hair in the world and wouldn't show it off, they were dead wrong. Isha sought out Silco the moment she and Jinx had split from each other, searching for someone to parade her pretty blue hair and braids in front of. Jinx really had done a great job on making her look cool, and she thought everyone deserved to see her work.

Thoughts for these two undone dads under the cut!

     The doctor exhales, the sound muffled by the bandages wrapped around his face. "Your question presumes his 'problems' are any more or less difficult to 'treat' than what would be asked of me from any other potential employer."

     His eyes narrow. "I can assure you, they're not."

     Admittedly, the doctor has occasionally pondered how much his initial treatment may have affected and possibly influenced Silco; Shimmer's development has come quite a long way from what it once was, after all...

It's all idle and laziness today. There's no use pushing it.

Why bother? I have other things on my mind.

Silco is distracted, and looks to the other man with a half interest (trying to look so cool). Even if Singed is dedicated to keeping up his own work, he'll have to listen to Silco's latest lecture or words of wisdom, with or without his consent.

Yet, none of that today. Oddly quiet until now, Silco has a question. Best to ask a professional.

"Is there a way to make a man perform more ... optimally?"

     It's not often that he leaves the confines of his lab; Silco's authority and resources have eliminated the need for the doctor to go forth and scavenge as he had done so before their acquaintance, and this is easily the greatest boon the chem baron has provided him. He does, however, venture up from his cave into the other man's office from time to time in order to share his progress and help organize Silco's space.

     The doctor is attempting to sort a collection of maps — many of which have unfortunately been Jinxed! — when Silco suddenly addresses him. His head turns ever so slightly towards the other man to let him know he's listening as he continues this self-appointed Sisyphean task, but stops altogether once he hears the question.

     He considers asking Silco to clarify what he means, but decides it would only prolong the discussion unnecessarily. He knows what the question is referring to.

"Many cultures and societies have their own 'remedies' for such a... quandary," he begins, resuming his efforts. "In Ionia, for example, there is a root called 'ginseng' that is known for its revitalizing properties. Perhaps you should consider having them imported with your next shipment? I've heard it's good in tea."

     It's not certain when exactly, but as he was talking, the doctor abandoned the forsaken maps and is now half-crouched next to Silco. He's studying him the way he would an interesting specimen underneath his microscope down in the lab.

"When did you first begin experiencing complications with your performance?" he asks, his inflection no different than when he asks Silco average medical questions. "Do you believe it could be a side-effect of the Shimmer you've been dosing?"

@bluelotused has a question. Singed has a few of his own.

MULTIMUSE MEME: Send a " ⭐ " and I will list muses I would be interested in throwing at yours ( i'm also doing this for @prescottprivilege if that's okay! ).
