What other options do you have?

@Techspert

*Shrugs*
Having others fight my battles for me? But that’s not a very cool thing to do no matter how you approach, slice, or rationalize it.

*Exhales*
If your goal is to kill your opponents, then you're correct. If you just want to live a peaceful life, then that may be all you need.

@Techspert

Not literally kill, no. That’s not my goal for the sake of it. But when you have outside forces in your life acting as aggressors that won’t let you have peace? Not many options there.

Why would that keep you from helping yourself?

@Techspert

I’m not exactly going to heal my enemies to death or anything, am I? Heal so good it scares them into leaving me alone?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

Are you sure about that? You could do a lot of good for a lot of people.

@Techspert

I can help a lot of people no matter what I do. But that’s a path that only leads to not being able to help myself.

It's a rare skillset. Usually the generalists have some healing ability, but running into dedicated healers is unusual.

@Techspert

I hope that’s not the sort of future you’re hoping of for me. Ain’t happening.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

You should consider dabbling more often. There aren’t enough healers to go around.

@Techspert

Work in progress. Though you’re right, places like this should have a doctor on staff 24/7. They definitely wouldn’t be bored.

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

Where did you learn that trick? It doesn’t seem like your cup of tea.

@Techspert

I can do a lot of things, you know. Anything my innumerable siblings can do, I can do better… But you’re right. I’ve also been dabbling.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

It helps. And thank you.
*Taps the wound, winces, and puts the scarf back on*
It probably isn't on track to kill me at any rate.

@Techspert

Either you get better sooner, or you’re in better shape to deal with a surprise round two if it comes to it.
*The flames on my hands dissipate, and I point to the fallen flesh from your wound on the floor, zapping it with a tiny laser and atomizing it without a trace*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

You would hope.
*Nods*
That's something.

@Techspert

*Shakes my hands a few times, and they suddenly combust into flames, though with no reaction from me*
Guess that’s about what the fruits of my labor can get me for now. Hopefully it at least feels better.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

*Frowns, reminiscing*
No. But a dispute between old friends cuts deep.

@Techspert

You’d be more inclined to survive that, though.
*Removes my hands from you, leaving the residual pink essence glowing faintly beneath your wounds. They do not heal fully, or even really cone close, but the necrotized flesh falls from its place as it is at least partially replaced by new cells that were generated at an accelerated pace*
