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.

[stressingwitchface]

Humans are devious creatures.

[weboftime]

Trixie returned my telekinesis in full. I can use it in self defense against other people.

If he tries to hurt me, I'll snap his neck.

[stressingwitchface]

Then it seems not all wardens are the fools I take them to be.

You will...tell me, if it gets worse?

[weboftime]

I will.

You'll tell me if your new warden steps out of line?

[stressingwitchface]

Of course.
