The dog owner is actually waiting out front now so if the dog is in fact dying after all he'll just come in and pet the dog and tell him he was a good boy and not to worry about anything back home because his pup is doing great taking over for him.

That makes Cyllene lose focus slightly quicker.

Do either the vet or the owner want money in exchange for the use of this experimental subject?

Permalink

If she would like to pay the dog's vet bill that would be fine by both of them?

Permalink

Sure, she can do that as long as someone else knows how to work her card.

She heads back to the hospital.

Permalink

The hospital is basically as she left it.

Permalink

Is the person with the burned face visibly hanging around anywhere?

Permalink

In the courtyard, if she checks there!

Permalink

She does!  She walks up to them and waves, harp in hand.

Permalink

"Oh! Cyllene? Am I pronouncing that right?"

Permalink

Nod nod.  'Where do you want to sit?'

Permalink

"Is here fine or do we need to go inside?"

Permalink

'Here is fine,' she confirms.

Permalink

"I like the cold," she confesses. "And the snow, it makes things quiet. Do I just - read, while you're working, or -?"

Permalink

Nodnod!  Cyllene starts in.  She's gotten quick enough at burns that she barely has to waste any time using magic to heat up her hands throughout.

(The new face comes out looking different from the original version but only slightly.)

Permalink

The woman looking in her pocket mirror is in no way good enough at faces to notice the difference! She no longer looks like a burn victim! "Oh my god, thank you so much!" she exclaims, starting to cry. "Oh my god - how much do you charge for this -"

Permalink

'The hospital decides I think.'

Permalink

"- oh, uh, have they just been - giving you what they would've spent on treating people - they don't actually have great options for facial burn scars so I'm not sure how they'd price it?"

Permalink

Cyllene shrugs.  'I don't understand money really well yet.'

Permalink

"Okay... how about I just give you, like, five gross, and if you have a fallback fund, email me and I'll sign up for it?"

Permalink

Nod nod!  'What's a fallback fund?'

Permalink

"A fallback fund is, if you're doing something cool, and you aren't sure you'll be able to keep doing it forever, you set one up, and people who you've done the cool thing for sign up, and then nothing happens until you actually need money for something but then you get everybody signed up to give you six or twelve or whatever and it adds up if you've got lots of subscribers. So I guess in your case if everybody learns spontaneously how to do magic next week, or you have a... hand injury? Then you'd use it."

Permalink

At first she was going to write that she was definitely going to be able to do it forever but now she just nodnods.

Permalink

The lady is able to look at Cyllene's bank card and transfer her five gross. "And you have my email if you set up a fund!"

Permalink

Nod!  - She's getting kind of cold now and heads inside, holding the door for the lady if she follows her.

Permalink

She does, to go through the building and out to the exit. "Thank you again!!"
