[ remember how they looked for ginger candies before?







because fuck that, actually, he's going for a ginger ale. he still looks a little ill. ]

[apoisoncary]

[ she'll watch him go for the ginger ale, while she pulls out a baggy of the ginger candy she has made. just going to slide a couple over to him ]

[outdistanced]

[ stares at the candy for a moment. ]

Ginger ale should be enough, shouldn't it?

[apoisoncary]

I omitted the syrup from it. It's just honey, orange peel, and ginger.

[outdistanced]

[ oh. in that case, he'll accept the candy. ]

Okay. Thanks.

[apoisoncary]

You really shouldn't worry about sugar so much.

[ you're still young ]

[outdistanced]

I- I'm not. I eat sweet stuff sometimes.

[apoisoncary]

No one will think anything if you do eat them more.

[outdistanced]

Nobody asked! [ suddenly defensive?! ] It doesn't hurt to try to be healthy!

[apoisoncary]

[ did she hit the mark? ]

I suppose as an apothecary, I should be encouraging healthy eating.

[ she'll leave that to the fox though and focus on... ]

Are you feeling nauseous?

[outdistanced]

The doctors at the Tower always did. [ grumbles

...but he nods. ]

A little, yeah. I wasn't prepared for... all of that.

[apoisoncary]

If that is your only symptom, then the ginger should be fine. Mint may also help.

[ ... ]

I don't think anyone was prepared for all that. [ just ignore how maomao is pretty detached sounding ]

[outdistanced]

I'm not sick. It's just... I've never seen anything like that.

[ giving her an odd look ]

How are you not even bothered by this?

[apoisoncary]

[ she has learned long ago that getting mad, upset, or frustrated won't do anything for her situation and the same applies here.

if this were to happen again, there is no one she can turn to for help or comfort

she isn't going to say any of that though ]

Where I grew up wasn't the safest and I worked as an assistant to the doctor in the area.

[outdistanced]

So you're so used to it that it doesn't matter anymore? Someone still died.

[apoisoncary]

No matter how used to it I am, it still does matter. I am a doctor and I don't like seeing people suffer in front of me.

[ ... ]

However, because I am used to it, I no longer show how I feel.

[outdistanced]

Not reacting at all just makes you look callous.

[apoisoncary]

I can't change how I look to others.
