Mister Dickerson. I've heard that you're something of a healer.

Something of one, yes.

I've also heard you're capable of discretion.

Also true.

What kind of injuries have you tended? Without infringing on said discretion, of course.

Primarily injuries sustained in combat. Blunt force, punctures, slashes. Broken bones, burns. [ Recently. ]

I assisted in keeping Mrs. de Fonce alive through procedure.

Impressive resume.

[ more or less. ]

Any experience with the maintenance of wounds long term?

Wysteria will be the first.

Enchanter Isaac spoke highly of you.

[ overstatement, and yet. ]

Are you confident in your ability to minister to Mrs. de Foncé?

Are you very concerned for her well-being?

Certainly, but that's hardly the sole source of my curiosity.

The answer to my question?

The answer to your question is 'yes.'

I'm glad to hear such confidence in your tone.

[ well. ]

With Enchanter Isaac's departure, I'm in need of someone I might consult regularly.

Of course.

[ It's the kind of 'of course' one would expect of rapid assessment, acceptance of and agreement with a necessity, as opposed to a why else would you be speaking to me. Clinical.

And yet. ]

Now?

At your leisure. Between us, Wysteria has the more pressing need.

[ Which John certainly knows from experience. ]

I had a standing appointment with the Enchanter, as a precaution against any complication that might arise. We might consider the same, on an evening that best suits your schedule.
