[ sitting in the clinic, his feet up on the desk, house sounds almost bored. ]

For all the relative ease of magic, it really took a toll. Quills. Robes. Owls. An entire society stuck in the 1500s while the rest of the world marched on without it. So much for thinking themselves better.

[ a pause while he glances down at the highly, highly sedated form of one allen walker on the floor. ]

Nurse! Clean-up aisle three!

I didn't go to school. I grew up in the middle of nowhere. Is it some kind of mineral?

[atrophied]

It's a crystallization. Want to make some?

[whichwayyoulean]

[Bonding time with pops?]

Yeah, okay.

[atrophied]

When I'm done with my shift, you can start.

[ yes. you. his contribution will be snark and insults. ]

[whichwayyoulean]

[He will take what he can get]

Okay, but if there's an explosion of some kind, I'm not taking the rap for it.

[atrophied]

If it explodes, I will want a detailed account of everything you did. [ because that would be in defiance of basic chemistry. ]

[whichwayyoulean]

...You're not even going to be in the same room?

[atrophied]

You just said you might make it explode. I am not getting paid to risk my life.

[whichwayyoulean]

But how will I know what chemicals to use if you're not there to tell me? I could mix anything together. You should have seen that Slytherin common room after I was done with it.

[atrophied]

I'll shout them at you through the door.

[whichwayyoulean]

...Gee, thanks. That'll be a big help.

[atrophied]

Any time.

[whichwayyoulean]

Let me know when you've finished your shift, I guess.
