[ oh!!!! oh no his hands are full. he looks like, briefly, mildly distressed because he can't write that down but nods... ]
Clean cloth, a tie, and a stick. [ rondo mouths this twice... clean cloth, a tie, and a stick. okay. okay he can remember that. ] So.. maybe it would be best to practice the correct pressure with someone like Alfyn or Mr. Daan once or twice to get the hang of how much there should be and monitor, since they're both medically trained, and then continue to repeat the motion on something nonliving. Like a tree or something, so my hands can get used to it, so in a crisis situation, I can keep a cool head and do it correctly.
[ this is like. mostly mumbling to himself, but it feels like the right thing to do... okay! he has a plan! he is going to learn! also listen he's a paladin hes not even cool enough to have cleric healing. lame. slaps you on the ass and heals you for ten points of damage
anyway he does not seem bothered by being called useless wow its a tuesday. curiously: ]
[ famine lets rondo rattle off to himself, and briefly points out - ] A tree doesn't have the same width as an arm or a leg, so find a low-hanging branch if you insist rather than the trunk. Also consider that this action will be causing the person you are performing to pain, but the temporary pain is necessary to save their life.
[ you bleeding heart guy... famine will turn back to peering through the different books though, reading their spines as they walk through the shelves ]
Remedies for supposedly incurable diseases. The most difficult and confounding illnesses that magic supposedly has an answer for.
Necessary pain.... yes, of course. Understood. Better to be in pain for a few moments than to lose your life entirely.
[ this is something that will be funny in (checks watch) under a week when we murder camille and bring her back to life. shaking.
anyway he will record that to mind somewhere, too, mouthing it to himself again. low-hanging branch. something roughly the same width of his own arm, maybe? doable. it's not a perfect practice, but it's better than winging it first thing! as ever, he takes it very seriously, following them like a very helpful puppydog/pack mule.
curiosity flickers across rondo's face - incurable diseases, huh? that's nice... ]
I can see where you and Miss Pesti's interests align... [ fckin diseases. i still dont know what canon pestilence is from but the PLAGUE. anyway. ] Is there any particular reason why? Not that you really need one, I guess - to be able to do something like that would be amazing.
It is not 'being able to do something like that' when I have already done that.
[ it's said in a bored tone, because famine is truly annoying that way ]
All things in life can be solved, however all processes can also be improved upon. I can save someone from a disease they were born with via a series of treatments over years, but if magic has a way to reduce that into weeks, it's worth doing research for.
But there's no tragic backstory to it, if that's what you're trying to get at.
[ they really do remind him of sazantos, it's really just. extremely unfortunate.
and. i've already done that!! to say something so casually - that's really impressive, and rondo's brows raise high, awe flickering across his face. wow... ]
...That's really amazing, Famine. [ and the idea of betterment is something he agrees with, too. as someone who chases strength, there is always going to be another mountain to climb, so he's just deeply appreciative. famine... officially Cool..... ] Striving for betterment, too... I believe much the same, though about far less importat things.
You must have saved many lives. Or, at least, eased so much pain. [ sugoi... ] Do you hope to eradicate it entirely, someday?
Eradicate pain? Are you stupid? [ looks back at him with a judgmental glance ] Pain is a necessary body response. Even inflammation and fever are necessary byproducts of the immune system working as it should.
Illness has its own role to play, and will evolve the same way as people.
I have no such lofty ideals. It's merely my research interest.
I've gotten a few ideas, mostly from talking to the other Overseers rather than any of you. How practical they are in application remains to be seen, given the varying rules by which every world is bound.

Oh... right. I guess that makes sense. [ yeah. the fever thing! right. duh. no one has ever accused him of being smart (probably). ]
Still, that's a really amazing research interest to have. Have you made progress being here? Not just in the library, but in general.
