Please excuse the interruption.

[He says like he didn't wait until things seemed slightly less crazy to speak up. He's also speaking like this is some rehearsed form letter or something.]

My name is Hakkai, and I was told this was the best way to see if there was employment available. I realize we have up to two months provided for us, but I would like to become self-sufficient before that deadline approaches.

Would anyone happen to know if there are any clinics seeking a healer?

Barring that, I am quite a capable hand with domestic duties, haha! Or even tutoring, should the need arise, though I've come to believe my world is quite far behind others, and my information may, unfortunately be somewhat out of date.

Thank you in advance.

The person you should speak to is Shigeru Miyata. He runs a small clinic that I happen to be employed at. We can always use another set of hands around.

[knowsvinewhip]

Ah, thank you! I would be happy to assist in any way.

Though I'm afraid I lack a resume, I can demonstrate my skills if necessary.

[happydreamed]

I suspect many of us were brought here without our credentials in hand. Never fear.

[knowsvinewhip]

You make a valid point!

Still, the offer stands. Is there a time or a place you would prefer to meet?

[happydreamed]

Ah - at this particular moment, I'm afraid I've been sentenced to bedrest, and my beloved wife will be very cross if I leave my room, much less my house. Perhaps another time?

[knowsvinewhip]

Oh! I'm sorry to hear that. Please, take your time in recovery.

Upsetting one's partner is something that must be avoided at all costs, after all.

[happydreamed]

Indeed. I don't wish to make her worry more than necessary, and this illness is quite troubling. None of my healing works on it.

[knowsvinewhip]

Has anyone else managed to do anything to help alleviate the symptoms?

[happydreamed]

Physical contact and affection provides a temporary relief.

[knowsvinewhip]

... Oh. I see.

I shall certainly leave that to those more familiar with you, hahah. But, regardless, I realize we have just met, but if there is any other assistance I can provide, please don't hesitate to inform me.

[happydreamed]

Rest assured I wouldn't make so forward a suggestion to a new acquaintance, even to a healer. I am well cared for in that regard.

If you would like to be of help, bringing groceries to the house would be much appreciated.

[knowsvinewhip]

Oh, certainly. I wouldn't mind that at all.

It was one of my usual tasks in my world, even.

[happydreamed]

I think many of us have been pushing ourselves to do chores while sick, so I'm certain that offer would be appreciated by more than just myself.

[knowsvinewhip]

I can understand that. I know plenty of people who tend to do the same.

Actually, I've been told I fall into that category myself.

[happydreamed]

I've heard it said that doctors tend to make the worst patients.

[knowsvinewhip]

[He laughs, and it almost sounds genuinely amused.]

As I've been told myself. Repeatedly so.

[happydreamed]

Ahh, a kindred spirit. Perhaps we can nag each other into taking care of ourselves.

[knowsvinewhip]

Indeed. But, ah I'll certainly do my best in that respect!

[happydreamed]

And I shall do my best as well. Prepare yourself for fussing.

[knowsvinewhip]

Oh dear! I'll attempt to do so!

[happydreamed]

Hohoho. I'll go easy on you in the beginning, not to worry.
