That sport is slightly more painful than I expected. I'll just, ah, leave it to you kids. Thanks for letting me try, though.

Mm, as an actress I consider myself a student of human nature!

[doctorish]

An actress! I'm a doctor. Ah, obviously. I think it's more or less the same, we just go in different directions with what we learn.

[pushingupdaisy.livejournal.com]

Obviously~ Still, you're quite a catch, doctor. Do you have a pretty girl back home?

[doctorish]

Not in the way I think you mean.

[pushingupdaisy.livejournal.com]

How do you think I mean it?

[doctorish]

Well, she's here, for one thing. She's also my sister.

[pushingupdaisy.livejournal.com]

Ah. I don't read these things very often, to be honest.

I had a sister. What's yours like?

[doctorish]

Brilliant. Better at the strange sport than I am, to say the least. Yours?

[pushingupdaisy.livejournal.com]

She seems very special to you.

Oh, a stage actress! Brilliant as well. I try to be like her but she was a better actress than I am.

[doctorish]

More than you know.

It runs in the family, then? I'm sure you're a great actress. Not that I've ever known any, but you just seem like one.

[pushingupdaisy.livejournal.com]

I am~ Thank you. I don't mind that she was better, though, it made me happy for her.

[doctorish]

Is she— I mean, are you. Do you still ah, talk to her?

[pushingupdaisy.livejournal.com]

She's dead. It was a very glamorous Hollywood murder. We don't have to talk of such dark things, though. What kind of doctor are you?

[doctorish]

I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked.


Trauma surgeon.

Don't be silly. I simply wouldn't want your first impression of me to be so gloomy.

A surgeon! You must have very capable hands, Dr. Tam.

[doctorish]

Don't worry, it wasn't!

Oh? It's an important part of the job. You can't perform well if your hands are always shaking. Which I always thought made us seem so stoic, but it gets a patient's trust, so. I suppose you're right.

[pushingupdaisy.livejournal.com]

Hm~

[doctorish]

Hmm?

[pushingupdaisy.livejournal.com]

It's been a pleasure meeting you, Dr. Tam. I'm sure we'll see each other around~
