I'm aware, I can hear you speaking.

[ Baizhu states with the slightest hint of snark, and gestures to Wolfwood again. ]

If you'd just give me a moment, I'll get out of your hair. I won't touch you, I'm just asking you to breathe.

[ Compliance is part of patient evaluation. ]

[ There's a lot of things Wolfwood could say in response to that -- and most of them would get him reported to HR -- but if the fastest way to end this conversation is compliance, then he'll comply. Once.

Fixing Baizhu -- his face, not his finger -- with a challenging scowl, Wolfwood draws in a sharp breath, and exhales through his nose like an angry bull. ]

Happy?

[heartofhealing]

[ The smile he gets in return is honest, gold eyes crinkling a bit at the edges. ]

Thank you, Mr. Wolfwood.

[ Baizhu takes his hand down and then steps away to head for the door. ]

I'll remember everything you shared with me. For the record, though... have you seen anything?

[lastdecember]

[ That smile says that he lost this round, but any encounter with a doctor that doesn't end with medication -- or worse -- is a win in Wolfwood's book. Baizhu is heading for the door, so Wolfwood turns to head back to his workstation, replying as he settles back into his seat. ]

No. They're just dreams. That shit doesn't mean anything.

[heartofhealing]

[ Baizhu makes a bit of a humming sound at that, but nods.

"You'd be surprised how much dreams can have meaning sometimes", he wants to say - but he's agitated the man enough already. Instead the doctor slips out of the room and disappears. ]
