[ one of those covered him in goop on his cyoa .............. giving it a suspicious look. ]

I had questions. You're a doctor, correct?

[bulls]

[ this is a very normal cow. it chews some grass happily while having its back petted. ]

Surgeon, yeah.

[tombtaker]

[ hm. ]

What do you know about Viktor's condition? Anything?

[bulls]

He's told me a bit about it, not a lot but.

[ hm. ]

Looking to find some way to help it... yeah?

[tombtaker]

Aren't doctors supposed to be intelligent? Surely I don't need to spell it out.

[ dont be rude to the guy you're asking for help from, lucien. ]

[bulls]

[ he never finished school. ]

I don't think it'd be impossible... we're clearly working to rally against that enough already. [ gazes ] Having seen it... I'd be more than willing to help.

[tombtaker]

[ also gazes. off into the distance. ]

And your price?

[bulls]

Don't have one. I'm a provincial doctor, I barely got paid back home to begin with.

This is something I'd want to do.

[tombtaker]

Plenty of people have prices that aren’t gold. I’ve got one, for example.

[ though he wouldn’t turn down money. maybe ten million dollars would solve his problems. ]

He mentioned wanting a new body altogether.

[bulls]

Well I've got nothing, so.

[ an easy smile. ]

A new body... [ softer ] I think with our current work... it's not an impossibility. If we can possibly return a soul to a body, then why not rejuvenate a body somehow as well?

[ fingers to chin. ]

I was planning on doing a little recon work down with the scientists here. Could see if they've got any insight into something as intense as that.

[tombtaker]

Flesh is easy.

[ but that all sounds above his clinical understanding of medicine so. that's fine. he'll have to choose to trust Io and whoever else has healing powers to just. do that. but he thought he'd toss a few threats into the mix for motivation. ]

Restoring the soul is harder.
