And the cut doesn't go away, so it's not the healing. She takes back the too-hot-ness. "Blind next? I'm not sure that it and deafness are connected, but they might be."

"Sure."

Boop. Blind, deaf, and a blindsense offering TMI on everything for a few hundred feet out.

"Well. This sense is sort of rubbish - and I can't hear anything either. Can you take it back?"

Take. "So it does go together and pair with the sense, I thought it would probably be either that or the languages... the next thing to try is giving you healing directly. You might get a drawback I haven't even noticed yet - if it does something like, I don't know, make you... colorblind... then I wouldn't have noticed because of being regular-blind. Or you might get sent to another universe, or you might get the falling in love effect. Ready?"

"Yes."

Healing boop.

The cut from before heals straight away.

"No downside, far as I can tell."

"Wow. I knew I'd been hit with a lot of artifacts but it looks like I was underestimating it. Is it fixing your arm enough that you don't need the amputation, do you think?"

He stares at his arm, where the swelling is rapidly retreating. 

"Huh - it does feel a lot better."

The surgeon, silently observing until now, inspects the previously infected arm with amazement.

"I'd say this is entirely healed, which I previously thought impossible."

"Do I need to keep the healing thing?"

"I don't think so, but if your arm gets worse again once I take it back then I'd guess so, and you'd just have to be on the lookout for the mystery drawback."

"If it gets worse again, could I get the power back?"

"Yes. If it takes a while to get worse then I'm not sure how you should find me -" She turns her face in Lucette's direction.

"It is probably best for you to contact us by the same method we contacted you this time, however convoluted that was. I apologize for any inconvenience that might result."

"Then I'd like to be rid of the power for now."

Re-boop.

"Thank you kindly, m'lady. And m'lady." He gives an awkward bow to both of them before collecting his payment from Lucette and departing.

"Should I be contacting you similarly for future cases like this, at least when the patients can keep their mouths closed?" asks the surgeon.

"I don't see why not."

Lucette nods in agreement.

"Thank you for your discretion."

She'll tip the surgeon as well and then they can head back to the carriage, briefly stopping to purchase some petunias to lend credence to their cover story.

Annie's in a relatively cheery mood on the way home.

"I must say that was a rather successful excursion." Lucette comments once the carriage is underway.

"Yes, though I hope whatever the hidden drawback is isn't doing some kind of subtle damage to me. I at least seem to have the same number and kind of organs as you, so it didn't sneakily remove my pancreas or anything."
