Since we're keen on sharing unfathomable abilities, would you like to hear of mine?
[Inanity is starting to become the norm. He doesn't even know how much alarm he should be feeling right now, but then again, he's had some time to parse all of this.]
Come now, I'd never joke at someone else's expense.
[Not at all true. But, he supposes that's not the point.]
I'm fine. Or as fine as I can parse. All limbs intact, mentally stable, that sort of thing. In fact, compared to some of the people here, my talents are relatively mundane.
Grell's giving you lessons on medicine? Tsk. She's a wonder woman, but —
[ No, it's not funny, actually. She tries to think of the word 'healing' — it's almost a primitive word. One that implies something... otherworldly. ]
Can you elaborate on healing? The word is an interesting choice, honestly. You could have said medical knowledge but — ... do you even know how you're doing that? Healing, I mean.
But what? I hope you're not implying that I wouldn't be a good student if she was.
[Ah, but he jokes, despite everything. His next sentence at least provides... a little more clarification.]
Perhaps I should be more specific. I have a healing /touch/, likely some sort of magical ability. How does that sit with your scientific sensibilities?
