April 29 - Well, I didn't want to come in here, but...

[Daniel Uriel]

Daniel walked into the infirmary and, reluctantly, logged himself to get treated for his hand burn. With luck, he supposed, he'd be able to brush up against a healer and fix it himself if he didn't rate to see one.

[Narrator]

A few minutes later, Daniel was called up, and taken to a exam room. A nurse took his vitals and asked him a few general questions, and then told him to wait for the healer.

[Daniel Uriel]

Daniel sighed, leaning back in the chair, considering his hand as he waited. Wish I'd kept that power from Dr. Bowen... would've made this all unnecessary...

[Isabel Galen]

"Hi." Isabel said as she walked in "I'm Isabel. I hear you burned your hand. Want me to fix that up for you?"

[Daniel Uriel]

"Beats keeping it bandaged up for a few weeks," he said, unwrapping the gauze he'd put on it that morning.

[Isabel Galen]

"Dude, why didn't you come in here sooner?"

[Daniel Uriel]

"Because it just happened last night," he said, shrugging. "It's just a burn, not like it's the end of the world." Despite his delay, the burn was obviously kept well cleaned and wrapped.

[Isabel Galen]

"To each their own." Isabel replied "Give me your other hand, please. And don't try to steal my power, please."

[Daniel Uriel]

"Wow. Trusting, aren't we?" Daniel said, holding the other hand out.

[Isabel Galen]

"What can I say; you've got a reputation." Isabel said as she took his hand "You might feel a little tingle."

[Daniel Uriel]

"Sweet talk me like that, I'm going to get ideas," he said dryly, waiting for her to use her power.

[Isabel Galen]

"OOOh, witty banter, color me impressed." Isabel said as she started to draw the injury from his body.

[Daniel Uriel]

"Bitter abrasiveness, like I don't see that all the time," Daniel countered in a bored voice, watching the flesh on his hand heal.

[Isabel Galen]

"But I make it look good." Isabel replied.

[Daniel Uriel]

Daniel glanced over, then gave a little shrug of concession. "All right, you've got me there," he admitted.

[Isabel Galen]

"And you're all done." Isabel replied.

[Daniel Uriel]

Daniel flexed his formerly burned fingers, looking the hand over. "Nice, thanks," he said, unwrapping the rest of the bandages and using them to wipe the ointment off his now-healed hand.

[Isabel Galen]

"You're welcome. How'd it happen, anyway?"

[Daniel Uriel]

"A bonfire," he said evasively.

[Isabel Galen]

"Thats a what, not a how."

[Daniel Uriel]

"I was fire-gazing," he said, not really wanting to. "Prophetic powers copied into fire powers... they need a really big fire to work."

[Isabel Galen]

"And then?" Isabel asked "I'm just trying to figure out how much I should be pissed off at you."

[Daniel Uriel]

"Well, have you ever talked to someone with a vision power? Heard them go on about 'the price of their knowledge' or something like that?"

[Isabel Galen]

"No, but at the end of my shift, your burn is going to be given to an innocent rat. I just want to know if you got burned because you were being a jackass or not."

[Daniel Uriel]

"Oh, you have to pass it off? That's easy," he said, cracking his knuckles. "You need to touch someone to do it?"

[Isabel Galen]

"I'll pass." Isabel replied "Unless you want to get a burned hand, a concussion, bronchitis, a broken tail and a paper cut."

[Daniel Uriel]

"What, you have to give them all at once?" he asked, quirking an eyebrow. "I can get fireproof to take a burn. I just need to make sure you don't get burned, too."

[Isabel Galen]

"I've got to dump them in order."

[Daniel Uriel]

"Huh. Well, so much for that idea. I don't even want to think about what a broken tail would translate into," Daniel said, shrugging.

[Isabel Galen]

"Probably best not to find out."

[Daniel Uriel]

"I know some people you could try it on, but there's that whole 'ethics' thing," he said, shrugging, as he put on his jacket.

[Isabel Galen]

"Yeah, that."
