[ oh, wild. okay, well - he squints at her arm from where he's sitting, ears laying back a bit. ]

Infected with what? [ this is the healer in him sneaking out. ]

[sarkazm]

Oripathy. But it wasn't that close to killing me, as far as I could tell.

[fried]

... And with any luck, it won't.

Is it similar to being mara-struck?

[sarkazm]

Not really. We don't get it from long life or anything, we get it from exposure to Originium or to Infected blood. Or dying Infected, if you're really unlucky.

[her tail swishes a little as she explains.]

Throwing up blood's when you know you've got it for sure. You're fucked as soon as that happens-- no need to go get checked. Then you get these.

[a gesture to her crystalline growths.]

They say it's mostly in the blood and organs and whatever, but eventually, it'll probably take out this arm.

[fried]

... And there's no cure?

[ frowning so very much at this, actually. ]

[sarkazm]

No cure. We have suppressants, but that's it.

[fried]

[ silence, for a moment. ]

You won't want to hear it, but I'm sorry.

[sarkazm]

You're right, I don't.

[a little huff.]

...it's just a fact of life at this point.

[fried]

So is being mara-struck. It's a symptom of age.

[ ... ]

I'm glad to know it. And I'll be asking the angels if my theory is correct. I hope I'm wrong.

[sarkazm]

I might as well see if they can tell me whether the Oripathy's still infectious.

[with a wave of her hand-]

At least now you won't freak out if you ever see my blood.

[fried]

[ he will if he sees it at trial ]

Mm. I do anticipate having to do some sort of medical intervention for you at some point.

[sarkazm]

Tch, I'll be fine. Sarkaz are durable.
