[ ellie :| ]

If you need a doctor, it is a big deal. What is it? Do you need someone to help you to medbay?

voice;

[falteringly]

[ Not a doctor, but details. ]

What happened?

[endureandsurvive]

Nothing happened. I just need one.

[falteringly]

Knowing the specifics would help to narrow your necessity for a particular doctor. [ There's a pause. ] Why do you need one?

V oice

[atent_dead]

[Granny's in medical and would never consider "doctor" more useful than "witch".]

What do ye need.

[endureandsurvive]

You work in medbay?

[atent_dead]

Wouldn't be talkin' to ye if I weren't.

You're infected?

[this is what you get for going unanon. and also has no one told you that doctors are a generally untrustworthy lot (because seriously, stitches? why would you ever)]

With what, exactly?

voice;

[endureandsurvive]

Yeah. A fungal thing.

[Helpful, Ellie.]

voice;

[doggedly]

[So helpful!]

Right, yeah. Thanks. Like a disgusting foot fungus 'fungal thing', or....

[wiped]

Are you sick?

[ tact, how does it work ]

[endureandsurvive]

No. But someone else could get sick and then we'd be pretty screwed so--

[SHRUG.]

[wiped]

We're all shucked to start with, being stuck up here.

[ just saying. ]

Getting sick's not the worst thing happening.

[kneaded]

What's wrong with you?

[ yo thomas tactful hi5 ]

[endureandsurvive]

[Wow. Boys.]

I'm carrying a fungal parasite thing.

rolls back a small forever later

[kneaded]

Is it contagious?

[ Still not super tactful, but the tone's gentle and curious, not deliberately insensitive. ]

hi christ late [voice]

[jurisimpudent]

Are you...merely a carrier of this infection, then?

[He sounds quiet and concerned. Ellie has earned Edgeworth's sympathies.]

[endureandsurvive]

Bingo.

[jurisimpudent]

I see. You've had treatment by this point?

[treasonista]

This is Doctor Knutson from the Genetics Department. [ Her voice is even, almost to the point of complete impassiveness. Do not be alarmed. ] Would you be willing to provide us with samples of your blood so we might better understand your condition?

voice, locked;

[endureandsurvive]

[There's a momentary stab of anxiety. She swallows.]

How much blood?

[skjalf]

Ellie. What is it?

permalocked;

[endureandsurvive]

No big deal.

[That's totally an answer, Lizzie.]
