I assume you just overextended yourself trying to control the situation?
Oh, it's nothing. It was the most useful I could be at the moment. You might be surprised, but it's been a while since I've had to set bones or stitch up gashes.
After getting my doctorate, I realized that I'd likely be working in or adjacent to hospitals. If there was ever an emergency, I wanted to be able to help.
My abilities are what they are. I tried to stay as long as I could, but [...] it was impractical. [...] But everything in the medical wing has slowed down, and there were no critical injuries. Honestly, we were all very lucky. A non-liminal animal of that size (or even half!) is more than capable of killing a human being, whether or not they can do magic tricks.
I want to say it's thanks to our excellent planning and training, but I'd be partially lying.
No. At least not the attack on the research building. The explorers are accustomed to running into trouble, of course, but usually it doesn't come so close to home.
"Accelerating" sounds real good for all of us, haha.
I'm okay. I think I have a very mild concussion from hitting my head against the ground, but I've been monitoring myself and I should be fine. I'm going into Medical tomorrow when it's less crowded. But thank you for asking.
We have to accept it as the very nature of our duties. For better or worse.
Please note that I'm being restrained here, but the idea of a "mild" concussion if misleading. If you were anyone else I'd be threatening to march over there and escort you to the medical facility for observation.
I understand, but it's actually okay if my pupils aren't dilated and I'm able to walk without issue. Which is the case. This has happened to me before, I know I'm fine. But I appreciate the concern.
Just once before. [...] When I was in college, my friend came back from Norway with a bottle of crowberry liqueur. It tasted like juice, I may have gone a little ham on it. Didn't realize how drunk I was until I stood up and almost immediately fainted. Hit the back of my head on the floor. Sat up. Threw up. Was concussed. Walked home. Slept. Still here.
I was in grade school, and we were playing with this gigantic rubber band... thing. It was supposed to send us running across it towards one another, but it caught me under the knees. I fell backwards and hit my head. I was out for about ten minutes.
