[QUOTE="Davies, post: 8415950, member: 30538"] [b]Interlude[/b] "You shouldn't fight." Sitting on the bench, looking up at the grim-featured woman who just told him this, Zuwen spends a moment preparing his response. When at last he speaks, he is quite calm. "Is this medical or moral advice?" "It's both," says the Lancet. "But more the former." She pauses, continuing to evaluate him. "But I suspect that you've already been told this." "I have," he says, with a short nod. "And I have enough medical training to recognize some of the symptoms without being told, as well." "There's a saying about a doctor who treats himself --" she starts to say. "I have not." His interruption is firm. "Are you going to refuse me permission to continue?" he asks after a moment. The brightly-clad medic lets out a long, disgusted sigh. "I don't have any authority to do that. I'm not the [i]official[/i] physician of this fiasco, just a self-appointed medical vigilante. And it would be both grossly immoral and counterproductive on my part to try and force you to retire, so all I can do is ask you to reconsider." "I have one more fight," the old man says. "I do not imagine that I can defeat this opponent, but I would disgrace myself if I did not try. So one more fight." "You're bargaining," the Lancet says. "That's a sign of grief." "I suppose that it is, at that." She shakes her head. "I said that no one was going to die here. I would really appreciate it if you did not make a liar of me, shū shu." With that, she turns and goes, leaving him with his thoughts. And the hand that comes up to rest over his heart. [/QUOTE]
