Perfectly acceptable.

[ That he will make a personal, private note of anyway. ]

I am sorry to hear about your infection, though. How are you doing?

[heartofhealing]

Thank you, Dr. Hilbert.

[ Professionals™ ]

Ah, I'm mostly alright. It's not painful. I upped my anti-rejection drugs just in case, as it seems to be along my replaced liver's connections.

[tarakan]

If you wish me to do a quick scan to see if I can help in any way, say the word. Things seem to be quiet at the moment.

[ he says, jinxing himself before Wolfwood goes unconscious. ]

[heartofhealing]

I'm always grateful for a second opinion. Would you like some tea?

[tarakan]

Of course. Will meet you in medical bay soon.

[ 'Soon' is closer to 'ten minutes' but hey, still counts. Hilbert is at the medical bay within that time, looking around for Baizhu as he arrives. ]

[heartofhealing]

[ Baizhu can be found in his usual tea spot at the side of the main medical area. He looks a little pale and tired, but there's still a smile welcoming Hilbert as he sees the other man. ]

Hello. Would you like green or black?

[tarakan]

Black please, [ said with a little nod. ] No need for sugar or milk. Though if you want, more than happy to prepare tea myself.

[ As Baizhu does look a little worse for wear. ]

[heartofhealing]

Nonsense. I asked you to join me for tea, after all.

[ Baizhu uses the kettle to pour the man some Earl Gray, while sticking with his herbal tea. It smells a little flowery with an undertone of bitterness. ]

How are you doing, first of all? It's been busy lately, and I'm not sure how you've managed this all alone.

[tarakan]

I managed this through grit and tenacity, [ Hilbert muses, with a hint of sarcasm. ]

Likewise: what other choice do I have?

[heartofhealing]

[ He sighs at that, giving a bit of a nod as he absently corrects his glasses. It's still a shock to be on this ship in this condition, and it gets even more confusing when you somehow have memories of ancient China. ]

You are a very interesting man, Dr. Hilbert.

[tarakan]

I will take that as compliment. Most call me 'irritating,' 'cold,' or 'stubborn.' Interesting is better.

[heartofhealing]

[ Baizhu chuckles at that. ]

Well, a man can be many things. I do believe 'interesting' takes precedence, though.

[ He takes another sip of his tea, and then continues. ]

Have you had time to read through my research?

[ He had been able to remove anything incrementing when writing it, and some other things later... but kept the results. The older research from his teacher, as well. All resulting in failures, unfortunately. ]

[tarakan]

I have. Truly, your studies are fascinating. To learn so much, to make so many inroads into your condition...your drive is admirable. If I may, I do have few specific questions about methodologies and formula?

[ specific questions that we will probably handwave or gloss over due to the fact that we both play fuckin nerds. ]

[heartofhealing]

[ Baizhu perks up a little at that, pleased to hear what someone else thought of his and his teacher's work. ]

Of course, please ask away.

[ Nerds. Such utter nerds.

At least he's going to answer, insert mumbo-jumbo futuristic medical stuff. ]
