you always have to go and RUIN the cool secret doctor meet ups.

but also, may i just say, you look absolutely *smashing* today!

i suppose that's on me for messing with 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝙳𝚎𝚟𝚒𝚌𝚎. whoops!

Worrying is ever so temporal.

All humans do! You get them in the womb. They hatch out of your mother's placenta.

Well, I just told it about you just now. And I suppose you don't want to hear about all the human-species-specific parasites and *googlies* all over your body, then?

( a shrug. ) so it goes.

there's one bound to *you*, you know. *somewhere*.

they're species-bound to humans, you know? it's a whole faff. just think of the paperwork!

that's a lupari. don't call them that.

. . . hmmm. do you know what? i can't remember. i had it, just for a moment, like a yarn in my hands. and then it went again. snapped, maybe. but for just a moment i had this beautiful fragrance of a memory, scented like roses. it felt the same as when i found myself on your ship. how strange.

it really is quite tight. very impractical. you didn't think this through at all. peri would just adore you.
