Let's get this shit show organized. The sooner we get everything done, the sooner we can leave so it's time to figure out who can do what. Who are you and what can you do? What are your strengths and weaknesses? We should have some sort of formal training so that like can work with like and eventually figure out how to work together as a cohesive unit in case something big comes along.

[he doesn't want to even think of what that might be]

Also are there any legitimate doctors around? And I don't mean someone who can do 'healing' [he waves his hands] whatever the fuck that means, but someone with medical training. If you have that... let's talk.

[he has a small problem that if he doesn't get it fixed will soon turn into a very large problem so he's doing what he can]

Seems to me it would be a better idea to play the odds. You do one, I do the other, we compare notes.

[Perhaps he was manipulating her paranoia to get more information? No, there was only so far she could read into the situation without assuming everything was some sort of attempt to manipulate her.

His suggestion was a sensible one, after all.]

... Yes, that seems a reasonable idea to me. Hopefully that way we’ll get answers sooner.
