[ hello charles in charge, io is here with everything needed to draw blood. they're just washing their hands, but they'll give him a wave once they're done. ]
Seems like the gathering of samples is going well. How are you, Charles?
It's... not alright. But it is what it is... I'm sorry too.
[ fakes it til i make it to draw some blood carefully unless you're about to tell me charles' arms are just all rusty greasy this week. they're pretty careful about these areas considering. ]
But even if it gives us a small chance, I'm glad that Arthur is willing to undertake this as well.
[ thankfully most of io's rusty grease spots are just. torso-based, though a loop of grease kind of makes its way around his neck with a perfect line. ]
What's more, having good colleagues can do a great deal.
... Mm. I hope having the other senior crew helps you—I certainly hope that we can help Arthur in some way, at least. Even if he doesn't make it easy sometimes...
We... work well as a team now that we remember a greater deal of ourselves. There was something I was missing about that... made this place tolerable for how strange it's always felt.
And I do think you all do just that for him. To carry that burden alone is too much. Best to have friends alongside you to at least help hold that weight.

About as well as I can be around here. What about you? Sounds like you all had it rough yesterday with your prosthetics.

... It's got to be rough, with the responsibilities you and Arthur have.

It's... not easy. Striking a moving target.

[though his expression turns wry at the arthur part.]
He's a stubborn guy, but I'd like to think he knows he can count on us.

[ softening a little. haha. ]
And you need the friends for when that trial and error doesn't pan out.

[a little smile]
Again, he doesn't always make it easy. How'd he react to you at first?

[ a chuckle ]
I wouldn't change my decision.
