... Are you all right with that?

[ He'd clearly been miserable. ]

[godcards]

No. But if I don't do it, everyone will suspect me.

[momming]

[ ... Well, he's valid. And she sighs, after a pause. ]

All right. No one should have a problem if I'm the one examining you.

[godcards]

And if they do...? What are you going to say?

[momming]

Hm. Maybe that they'll have to fight me?

[godcards]

[ That actually gets him to crack a smile. ]

I wouldn't want you to get in trouble on my behalf.

[momming]

[ Wow. She's honored, actually. ]

I'm a doctor, Malik. When it comes to helping others, I'd happily get into trouble as much as I needed to.

[godcards]

How noble. Well, don't get into too much trouble, because I'll need you around.

[momming]

I'll do my best. In return, please try to stay in one piece.

[godcards]

That's a fair deal.

[ he's been hovering awkwardly by the doorway this whole time, so he scoots back a little, outside the room. ]

Thank you for you time. That's all I needed.

[momming]

[ Save this awkward child from himself. ]

... All right. Let me know if I can do anything else, okay?

[godcards]

There's nothing else.

[ And he just. leaves. SORRY HE'S LIKE THIS OTOME. it's not personal. ]
