I do not suppose anyone in our infirmary can provide care and assistance for a dog as well as they might a human? After Sexby's failed attempt to re-introduce me to his warped concepts of justice, my Renate has shown a few signs of still being in pain from the struggle. It is possible she is bruised and nothing more, but it is much better to be safe, and I would be a poor keeper to ignore her needs, but she has been rather adamant to remain at my side despite what injuries she might have.

I took a fall during the incident, and while the pain is not so much worse for myself, I'm sure there are few among you that would pass up the chance to get me on one of your tables again.

...I also understand that Chief Stildyne was among those attacked. Is he still with us, then?

Back among the living. In medical. The infirmary. On the good stuff.

He attacked you?

How bad was the fall?

I have certainly endured far worse, and this is not new behavior for him -- though perhaps his motives differed, but only slightly. He's much to blame for my visible lack of flexibility during our first chance encounter.

Good to know.

I didn't know you'd been attacked, Donatien. I haven't had the concentration to go back through the logs much.

Do not trouble yourself for not knowing. Other than vague references to an old man and a dog, little has been said of me. He did not succeed in what he tried to do, as my Renate remembers him well.

Smart animal.

Brachi. If you want revenge for me making free.

[There might be a noun missing there, a subject or two, some context. It made sense in his head.]

Revenge, dearheart?

As I was so rude to make free of your given name.

[It's the pain medication. Quite possible he thinks he's trying to be charming.]

If that is rude then I prefer you the brute. I quite like the sound of my name when you say it.

Have to get you in person and take advantage of the fact. When I don't feel like I've been beaten to death.

Not exactly fair to hurt this much and not have the scars to show. Earned a new beauty mark or two.

Unfortunately we only keep those when we don't die. A bit strange, I know.

I will look forward to your recovery. In the meantime, if you have need of anything, you have but to ask.

Thank you.

Going to try to sleep the edge off this headache.

Not pleased you were attacked. Glad you're not badly hurt.
