"No."

"Oh boy. Uh. I am an emergency response healer. My job is to show up when someone might be having a medical problem, and help them with it, or take them to a hospital if I can't help. Ordinary people like your neighbor help out people like me with doing our jobs, by letting us know when to show up. Does that make sense."

"I understood all of those words, probably, unless I was taught incorrect meanings for them or otherwise ended up wrong about understanding."

Permalink

"And I showed up here today, to help you, but you don't need me. Right?"

Permalink

"I also understood all of those words."

Permalink

"And part of how my organization makes sure that people like me are doing our jobs is, when someone turns out not to need or not to want healing, we ask for their thumbprint. - you don't have to give me your thumbprint or else be healed, to be clear, that's not a requirement, but, that's why I'm asking, I get more questions if I can't get the print."

"You can have it, I just still have no idea why anyone would claim to think I needed healing in the first place or why you decided I didn’t."

Permalink

"I don't know your neighbor but most people don't want those around them to go without medical attention they need. You don't seem to be having any medical problems or to want help with any I can't see but I can heal you if you want."

Permalink

"...Are you sure my neighbor didn't summon you here because I hurt her and she wants someone to deal with me."

Permalink

"If she was trying to do that she did a very bad job of explaining it but I can knock on her door too if you're worried about her."

Permalink

"I don't have an opinion about whether you should do that."

Permalink

"...okay."

Anyway. Thumbprint. Since that is the thing this person wants.

Permalink

"Thanks. Do you... need... anything?"

"As far as I know I'm incapable of ceasing to exist so not really but there's no reason I would ever need my judgment intact again so now seems like an okay time to make questionable choices about drugs?"

Permalink

"I don't have any drugs but you should get a tripsitter if you want to start experimenting with them."

Permalink

"I don't know how to do that."

Permalink

"Usually you'd ask a friend."

Permalink

"I don't have any friends here."

Permalink

"That sounds like a problem and I don't know how you should solve it."

Permalink

He laughs bitterly. "Yep."

Permalink

"I could get you a social worker?"

Permalink

"I have no opinion about whether you should do that."

Permalink

 

"I'm gonna get you a social worker. One should be by in the next half an hour or so."

Permalink

"...Okay."

In half an hour or so he'll be lying miserably in bed nursing two different simultaneous headaches.
