[Daisy laughs softly, but stops abruptly at the sharp pain in her ribs.]
I would hope so.
[Considering it was his job, he better be good at it. While others were debating whether or not to stay, Daisy was surprised to not see him give his two cents. Considering he was one of the few medical professionals here.]
I’ve been here from the start and I don’t think there’s anything left I can contribute to curing the ghost matter sickness. If the powered healers want to try their hand at fixing it, I’ll support them. But if they don’t there’s not much point in staying.
[As far as he knows all the non-powered doctors had exhausted their knowledge and resources and come up empty, the only possible knew variable that could help is healing powers or magic.]
It's never a good thing when a government asks for that kind of registration. Especially not when that same government is hard at work manufacturing weapons that can kill the people they're asking to register.

That’s what I’ve been thinking too. As much as I wish we could help them, it’s really only left up to a few people and that’s not fair to them.
[Selfishly she’s hoping they’ll say yes, but she won’t blame them if they decline.]

Thanks. Do you always have these on you?

[Advice about adults appreciating candy as much as kids. So far it seems to be true.]

[Either way, she's not offended. Pulling the wrapper off she pops it in her mouth. It's been a long time she's had a lollipop.]
