Have you secured a steady supply of updog for Project Felandaris?

--Oh. Um. I guess I'm doing this, then.

Um. If...um, if, if you're not a mage. Or if you--I mean, if you're nervous about being healed by magic, how do you...what if...


Colin. Relax. Just pretend you're talking to a rock, come on. You can do this.

[A sigh and a regrouping.]

Lots of people are nervous about being healed by magic. Or even people used to it get nervous about being healed by spirit healers in particular, which, I don't usually explain the difference to most people because it's not all that important for a patient to know, but the point is, what would make you feel better about it? Aside from a good bedside manner, that's sort of a given, but bedside manner doesn't do it all by itself, sometimes. What, what would you need to hear in order to feel safe? Theoretically or for real.

Basically, what would make non-mages feel more comfortable with magical healing. Right?

Right.
