[day 2 of the dust storm and...yo, Hadriel, Dr. Asshole needs a favor]

I don't suppose there's anyone who can give me a hand with something.

[he shifts the video from himself, past an enormous black flag tacked to his wall, to a gaping hole in the wall of his apartment. There's already a fine layer of dust collecting like drifting snow around the edges of the floor.]

My place took some damage in the Null battle. Fixing it wasn't exactly a priority until right about now, and I'm not exactly a carpenter.

If anyone can take care of this so I don't have to sleep in the hallway outside, that'd be great. In return I can use my ability to teleport you in and out, or anywhere else in the city.

[but Law, why can't you just find a new apartment? He has reasons, okay.]

A health problem. Wraeththu don't have health problems. [What is going on]

Oh? I'd be interested in learning more about that. I'm studying Wraeththu physiology.

[pointedly not answering the question]

Ask him if it's such an issue for you.

He's already been a valuable source of information.

[never not a complete asshole - he knows how that might sound and does not care if anyone jumps to conclusions]

I'm sure. He usually is.

Then what are you so worried about?

Him. You say "health problem" lie it's nothing, but anything that can make us sick is terrifying. Pardon me for being concerned for his well-being, but I won't apologize for it.

[yes good. A little give and take helps him figure out boundaries - including any between the married couple]

There are other health issues besides sickness. What if it was an injury?

That isn't any less worrisome.

Maybe not.

I'm still not going to discuss a patient's issues over the phone. If he won't tell you, you can ask me in person. I'm usually in the clinic at least a few hours a day.

Fine. I'll try asking him first before I track you down.

[It's improvement at least.]

You do that.

You'd best not hurt him.

I told you, I'm a doctor. I only hurt people who are trying to hurt me first.

I'm impressed he hasn't yet.

Is he really so dangerous? I never got that impression.

I wasn't exaggerating when I mentioned he likes to toss people in towers.

[snort! what a mental image]

I'd survive it if he did, so. Not really a problem for me.

I don't doubt you would. He won't kill anyone he doesn't have to. But sometimes living is the worse option.

Not as I see it. But, neither here nor there since I don't plan to do anything to warrant being thrown through walls.

I didn't mean it literally.

But trust me, there are worse fates than death. [He just really doesn't want to think about how it would have been kinder to just kill Azriel and Aleeme and instead focus on having them back.]

Mm. Well if you wanted to get philosophical about it...

[he'd actually not disagree. It's all about context.]

I didn't. But it happens.

Anyway. Don't worry about Seel-ya. Talk to each other like civilized Wraeththu, I'm not getting in the middle of you two.

Thank you for the advice. Do send him back to me in one piece.
