I heard. I was waiting to see your reaction to the news.

Are you pleased with the choice?

[stressingwitchface]

I would prefer if Dorian would ditch Johann and be my warden, but Bright is a very fine second choice. And obviously first among the available wardens.

[weboftime]

I'm glad you're happy, Kikimora. He will do very well for you, I hope.

[stressingwitchface]

He's already worlds better than most here.

You're doing well, I trust?

[weboftime]

I think so.

I'm not feeling well, which is why I haven't had my party yet.

[stressingwitchface]

What?

Not feeling well, how?

[weboftime]

I've asked Dr. Hilbert to help me determine what exactly is going on. I haven't been feeling well in a few days, so I haven't been eating.

[stressingwitchface]

And what did he say?!

[weboftime]

I'm waiting on results.

I'm alright, Kikimora. I'm feeling better than I have been.

[stressingwitchface]

But what if you aren't?

We-...My world has...

Look, we have plenty of strange diseases across many worlds. What if you caught one?

[weboftime]

I haven't been around another person in weeks, Kikimora. I have barely left Trixie's cabin.

I also - don't get sick. This is the first illness I've felt in decades.

[stressingwitchface]

But that's so much worse.

[weboftime]

It is?

[stressingwitchface]

Yes! You don't have a proper immune system used to dealing with illnesses!

[weboftime]

No, I'm not human. I don't get sick like humans do.

[stressingwitchface]

Witches and demons get sick. Germs are cross-species!

[weboftime]

No one else aboard is ill, Kikimora.

[stressingwitchface]

What are your symptoms?

[weboftime]

I'm fine, Kikimora. I'm having a doctor look into it.

[stressingwitchface]

An inmate doctor. One who isn't bound by the laws of this ship.

[weboftime]

He has no reason to harm me. He wants to be seen as a legitimate doctor, so he's going to do his best.

[stressingwitchface]

Sometimes the reasons people harm us are hidden until it's too late to escape.

[weboftime]

What are you worried might happen?

[stressingwitchface]

That because you aren't human, he will use you to run his experiments on and harm you.

[weboftime]

I wouldn't let that happen to me. Not again.
