Yeah?

[That's it, that's all you get.]

OOC: CAPTCHA has been hit, so please go here for all your IC inbox needs!

I don't know. How different people can be, maybe? I don't mean this like I think you need to learn something, I'm just wondering if you think you have. If you'll bring something from here, back home?

I'll bring plenty of factual knowledge, sure, yeah. But my philosophies - those haven't changed.

Hm.

[Claire smiles to herself, running her fingers over her lips.]

I guess you'll need to hold on to these philosophies, anyway.

Yeah. Yeah, they're important, where I come from.

Why do you ask? What do you feel you've learned?

Just curious. I don't know if I've learned much just yet, or maybe just a few things about myself.

Such as?

I'm a lot more self-sacrificial than I'd like to be.

Do you plan on trying to change that?

You think I should?

[She's not asking for guidance - she is the way she is, and she has a feeling he'll tell her something about survival, or self-preservation. But she'll always put the lives of her patients at the top of her list.]

It sounds as if you want to.

Sometimes, maybe. I'm more useful to the community alive and whole than if I was throwing myself on front of every bullet. But there are times where I don't think there's that much of a choice. Where kids are concerned, for example.

Kids are different.

[Kids are always different.]

Why don't any of you care about staying alive for yourself; for your loved ones?

Edited 2016-12-21 15:42 (UTC)

I do. I very much do care about staying alive, actually. Being willing to take risks so that people I care for don't have to doesn't mean I have a death wish. I don't plan, nor want to die, Alfie.

There's a gulf between having a death wish and being self-sacrificial.

Yes, we agree there. Then why do you think I don't care about staying alive?

I do not think that.

Then what are you asking?

I'm telling you I think you're closer to the self-sacrificial end. You've said as much yourself.

[This is starting to feel like an extremely circular conversation, where they're just not willing to give up the upper hand. So Claire sighs, rolling her eyes at her tablet.]

Moving on. I should probably check on Kid anyway. He's been fighting a fever.

Yeah. He'll tell you he doesn't need any help, the git.

Well, at least he asked for it. He fell asleep on me earlier, completely exhausted. Still hasn't eaten, though, which is worrying.

Is he still panicking over Watson?

He's panicking over everything. Stein, Watson, home, here. He's an anxious kid.

I don't know how he's lasted so long here.

He's strong. Very willful.
