Could I interest anyone in classes for basic first aid?

[The slim, white snake that some people may remember from the last time a post attached to this username was put on the network is looped around the green-haired doctor's neck and looking directly into the camera with oddly human-looking eyes, her forked tongue flicking out now and then.

Baizhu's voice is light, casual. He looks well.]

I'm sure we have people here very talented in healing magic, but with the strangeness of this world you never know when knowing how to correctly apply a tourniquet or treat a burn on the spot might come in useful. We do seem to be being encouraged to expand our skill sets, no?

[The doctor smiles.]

I can be sure to find a location that suits the level of interest but having some people to assist on the teaching side wouldn't go amiss either. Do let me know, and I'll make the arrangements.

I know some but I wouldn't mind a refresher course.

[ it never hurts to know. ]

[physicianhealthyself]

If you'd be so kind as to detail what you know, it would be helpful to have an idea of your capabilities.

[He smiles.]

I wouldn't want to belittle your skills.

[pedagogies]

There isn't much to belittle.

I can apply some generic first aid. Bandages, medicines. But that is as far as it goes.

[physicianhealthyself]

Aha, well, at least you're honest.

[He assumes, but it doesn't really matter if he knows more and prefers not to say so!]

I'm sure I can show you a new thing or two, at the very least. I don't want to go too in depth... I may put myself out of a job.

[pedagogies]

I can assure you, it's very unlikely I can replace you. Witches aren't allowed to learn medicine.

[physicianhealthyself]

[Oh, now that's interesting... for a couple of reasons.]

Are not allowed, or are incapable?

[pedagogies]

We're not allowed. It is part of the rules we must follow.

[physicianhealthyself]

And do those rules still bind you while you are here? I wouldn't want to cause problems for you.

[pedagogies]

I will continue to follow them.

However, I will be careful about my application.

[physicianhealthyself]

Very well, then. I shall not ask too many questions. We all have our own business best not pried into, no?

[pedagogies]

Your discretion is appreciated.
