Working on that is good. It's not always easy to remember in the moment--and I am guilty of that, too. But we'll try together, yeah?
Hardest job? Maybe most rewarding. I feel like I've genuinely managed to help in the best way that I can. I'm no nurse and that's a calling I don't think I'm made for. But I like to think that I can do some good sometimes. Even if that's a wee scolding and some tea.
As I said: You're doing the best you can. And it's really okay to ask for assistance when you need it--Please don't push yourself too far. What good are you to us if you've worked yourself to death?
[Even if she doesn't know what that actually means for a vampire.]
I mean. I'm glad to poke you a few times with a tongue depressor and see what happens if it gets to that point?
You can make bad jokes, but I'm honestly very curious about them. How do they work for you? Is it something you have to *make* yourself do, or is it your body simply reacting?
I never knew I could be such a menace. First it's tongue depressors, next it'll be tapping you with the reflex hammer. You really don't know what you've gotten yourself into. What are you going to do when I'm off sailing for this holiday of mine?
It's purely reaction. It takes severe injury to have something my body can't handle. Or having not fed recently can slow things down. Which is me sharing a lot, but I think most here know how to kill me at this point. Anything from bruises to short of heart damage and removing the head will really heal itself.
That could be dangerous. My reflexes are dangerous these days.
I'm going to pretend you're still there and that everything is okay. So then there will be even more for you to take care of when you get back.
Also I don't recommend sailing here. Just saying. .
Duly noted: No hammering. Just tongue depressors. And trust me: I'm not out to kill you or anyone.
[Granted, she can't speak for Tim, but she's working on that.]
Logically, I know. I do. I shouldn't go on this trip, but my god. I need to see this through. I need to know. Need to see. Don't judge me too harshly on this.

I'm really glad to have you here with me. I know the value of the staff you have around you and I promise to do the best I can to make things go well.

I know, I know. Not the point and I am truly trying to do the best I can.
Wow, that's actually a ... pretty good threat. I will show you I'm being better about it.
