Florence almost cringed when he saw the paper clip hit the other. He felt guilty over it, giving them a worried glance. They seemed about ready to fight. He figured he could hold his own against them, but fighting was one of the last things he wanted to do here. Maybe he should apologize? Before he could even think of how to speak, Jace was apologizing for him. Well, that's one way of doing it.
His reaction was more suited to a cannon going off than a loudspeaker coming to life, but it was all the same to him. Dr. Schwarzlicht? Florence glanced around before seeing the annoyed look on Jace's face. So, that was his name. Interesting. He listened to the man's advice, and slowly nodded. Maybe focusing on something would do him good, it wouldn't leave him room to think about his situation. He couldn't wait until he had a means of communicating, because there were some questions that he really wanted answered.
He shook his head, once again putting it on the table. At this point it might as well just be his bed. Of all things to focus on, he chose his clementine, slowly peeling it and getting every part of the skin off. It wasn't much, but it was helping at least a bit.

Minan sighed, shaking his head. If nothing else at least she was complying. He bent down to the doctor, who was now getting materials out for her wound. "Poga pae klipople platai ao ketae ti." He muttered, laughing softly. Gashow began fixing the wound, cleaning it, sewing it shut and covering it with a bandage. "The thread is designed to dissolve in time. Redress it daily and try to keep it dry." He started packing up, "Now, is there anything else?" Within a minute he seemed ready to go.
"Ah, I believe I also discussed something else." Minan grinned, and the doctor paused. "Hm? Oh, yes." Out of his pocket he handed Minan a small stack of papers. "Many thanks. We are going through Chiranan, yes?" The human nodding, Minan seemed content. "We'll do that, then. Goodbye." He saw the man out, then came back into the room. "I really am sorry for subjecting you to that, Luna, but there wasn't another option." In a crew as small as theirs, she was too valuable to let go. "Do you want to be alone? While you are on my bed I don't really mind." He nonchalantly commented as he picked up his spear and hooked it onto his back.

Of all the time for his spear to not be on it, this was a hell of a time. It was leaning against his bed, so close to where he was, but maybe it was best to not move. By the time he had even considered getting it she was pointing at the doctor, who was doubled over from the kick in the stomach he had received. When Minan had seen an opportunity to get his weapon she was seeming to calm down, flopping back down on his bed. He decided to leave it be, and unclenched his fists; not realizing he had closed them in the first place. It was yet another reminder to him that he needed to be more careful around the crew.
Minan, looking at the bow still, nonchalantly answered her. "Not yet. We still need you, after all." He looked back, only half joking. Luna could provide nice company but he wouldn't readily pay $3000 just to keep that. "I apologize for not explaining this beforehand to you, Luna, but I was not sure if you could understand me." He spoke slowly, clearly; not wanting her weapon pointed at him again. "This is doctor Gashow, a friend of mine." To his mention, the doctor gave a nod, standing up straight once more, "Your arm still needs tending to. Luckily someone could manage first aid, but it still needs proper treatment." He explained.

Minan took the ruby, looking over it. By now, his friend had returned with a stack of papers, and the two were talking again. It seemed that they were talking about the gem, as Minan gestured to it. The conversation went on for another good five minutes while the other flipped through documents and papers. Soon enough the communicator was shut off and he was left with a number he had written on a scrap of paper.
"Your arguing over such petty things didn't make convincing them any easier." He seemed a bit agitated. While he took the money, Minan looked at Minchiko, confused. "Why would I sell it? That would take time out of my schedule, my time is money. I will send it to them and they will do what they please with it. This is easily 3000 dollars, even more; they are nearly impossible to get on my planet." It rained diamond dust on Neptune, but that didn't mean other gems were as easy to find. He grinned, "However, you can consider this 500 dollars a bribe for me, and my troubles." He stood up, taking his phone out and dialing the number he was given. It was a 5 second conversation in the same language he was speaking before.
Soon enough a human looking-figure with a bag was in the ship, guided by Minan. "Dr. Gashow." He introduced the man when they walked in the room. Upon seeing the state the Zenohunt was in, the doctor shot an annoyed, but confused look at Minan. "Why the hell is she not in a clinic? I heard what you related to Chiranan, but Christ." The T'vao sighed, "It is a long story. In any case you are being paid." Gashow shook his head but went over to Luna, shooing Jasper off the bed.
As he started to examine her he also listened to her, and though he couldn't speak her language fluently, went on the assumption that she was delusional. It's what it sounded like from what he could understand, at least. Finally he seemed to have enough information and sat down, opening his bag and taking out different serums. "I would say she was poisoned." He stated to himself more than anyone as he started putting needles in the antibodies. "She won't be to a proper condition for awhile, but in the meantime this will help." He laid out the serums in an order, giving her shots down her shots down her uninjured arm. "I'm supposing this wasn't properly taken care of, either?" He asked, gesturing to her covered wound.

I'm fine with a reboot. I agree with Oscario in the fact that the scientists having more info would be useful.
"Siekupe krutupio. Patra poa ipeka, Gurnaka-Kaspir." Minan started explaining, the being at the other end looking strikingly similar to them. "Hm?" Minan briefly glanced over to see Jasper putting Luna on his bed and moves over, turning back around to the communicator. "Of course, but if vomit becomes involved you're dealing with it." Or he would just take Jasper's bed. Really, he didn't care.
Talking to their contact once more, Minan seemed to be growing frustrated by the time the other walked away, though the conversation was still left open. "Grateu sia." He muttered, pinching the bridge of his nose. "It does not need to be this complicated." He turned to Jasper, "As I said, seeking alternate ways would be helpful. My...How would you say, brother? Has been annoyed with me, so this is going through circles." Human gender and family construct had always been a struggle for him to understand, but he felt it was the closest thing he could relate them to.

Minan briefly took his attention off of Michiko to look at Luna, wanting to reply to her but instead giving a confused, slightly sympathetic look. He couldn't understand a thing she was saying. "You only speak for yourself. I'd kill myself before I'd let myself be arrested." He stated, completely serious. "Even if Eden does not exist I'm still making a decent profit off of this, it's far from a waste of time." He had gotten off track, but at this point holding his tongue was a skill slipping away from him the more he had to listen to her talk. "I may or may not be able to get in touch with a friend who knows a doctor, one we can trust. However the problem then becomes getting Luna to accept any help." Looking back for the Zenohunt, she was gone. How in the hell did he not notice that? "In any case, do not rely on me, and seek options that don't involve trips to clinics." Sure, he could get fake prescriptions no problem if he needed to, but this was a long shot.
Walking out after Jasper to the quarters, Minan stopped to watch the scene. He heard her speak of her god, and shook his head at Jasper's attempt to console her. Seeing as his religious beliefs were based more on a concept, rather than a god, he couldn't fully relate; however he still understood that dishonoring a god wasn't to be taken lightly. He waited until the clicker was out of her hands before he decided to walk over, once again leaving Jasper holding her weight. Well, this was just fantastic. At least she was speaking. Speaking was good, meant that she was still there. He gently grabbed her chin, bringing her face up so he could see it. "Luna, stay with us." He told her before going to his bed, grabbing his communicator and trying to get in contact with people who knew the area.

Minan could stand there for the day arguing this with Jasper. He loved a good debate, and while potentially frustrating, the human seemed to be able to provide that. He almost continued, stopping at the last second and shaking his head. Sadly, now wasn't the time for that. "Alright, fine, yes." He gave in, frustrated. Minan was useful for many things, but this certainly wasn't one of them. He walked back to Luna, giving her a smile. Of course she got stuck in between this argument, right? "Barring English, I do not go after other cultures. It does not make sense to me, as my planet does not have that, but I'm sure my language has worse." He almost wanted to test Jasper, to see if he would follow through on his word, but decided it would be a bad idea.
The next thing Minan knew Michiko was in the room, and the two were arguing over what to do with Luna. He glared Jasper as he was pushed to the side and they took over, but turned his frustration to the woman once she decided to get confrontational. "Dai, we cannot just take someone who shot 3 guards to a hospital. We could all easily be detained, and I'm not letting my work go because of this." He snapped. His current status as a pirate was nice and all, but his affairs at home were what really concerned him.

Minan turned to the human, grinning broadly, "Jasper, my dear friend, I just had an amazing idea. You're going to love it." He walked over, placing his hands on his hips. For a being that appeared male, he had a pretty feminine walk. "I will readily admit I know nothing about humans, or human like species, such as the Zenohunt is. Or, for that matter, anything medical. Apparently you do - Take over." He clapped his hands together, making the whole situation much more dramatic than it needed to be. "A simple solution, yes?" The more he talked, the more his accent slipped through, hard accents forming on vowels.
Minan laughed at Jasper's comment, seeing his struggle. "Maybe you should work on it. Or are all humans like that?" Though he was smiling, it was a serious question. He never did know much about humanity. Taking his upper arm wraps off, he took it and tied it tightly around her wound. He decided to help the struggling human, just taking their place so he didn't take the injured arm. The height difference between the two made it almost comical. "Ah, don't be like that." He lightly scolded her trying to say she was fine as he shifted her weight onto him. "You had an interesting day, if nothing else." So much for not causing trouble, but he couldn't entirely blame her. This whole situation was a strange one.
At her own pace, Minan took Luna up to what the crew had more or less designated as the infirmary. He took off his article off of her and instead replaced it with gauze bandage. "I am not an expert in the medical field, so I can't help too much with this." He commented. Of course his makeshift first aid wouldn't do a whole hell of a lot, but something was better than nothing. Really, he was just stalling until someone more qualified got there. The T'Vao then turned so he was facing her face to face, then shook his head. She really didn't look good, even when he considered her arm. "Luna, are you all there?" To say the least, she seemed out of it.
