Heavens, no. Mankind is too busy squabbling to ever band together and accomplish anything so progressive.

[He shrugs.]

Not that I can complain. Those petty squabbles keep me in business, after all.

[beautifullies]

[ That first comment makes her laugh this time, tipping her head back. ]

Do you know, some things never seem to change.

[ Her laughter tapers off a bit and she has to give him a point there. ]

You and I might have some of the best job security around. Although, perhaps not in this world when it comes to me. I've seen people heal others with a simple touch. That makes me a bit antiquated.

[Crane offers a small smile and relaxes in his chair. Some things never change? He changes his patients all the time. Blake would consider it a boost to his ego. He considers it what they deserve.]

Does it? Some patients prefer homeopathy. At least the "antiquated" treatment you offer has a medical basis.

[Because magic, you know, doesn't.]

[beautifullies]

[ He isn't wrong there, and Claire nods in concession. ]

You're right, although even I might suggest magical assistance for critical injuries. Even if it's only to conjure something I might need to take care of another. The two could work side-by-side, at least on this star.

[ She isn't opposed to that, just as she wouldn't be opposed to homeopathy and traditional medicine working together. ]

[restingstitchface]

[Crane lifts his chin - his contempt for homeopathy masked by curiosity - and crosses one leg over the other. Hands clasp over his knee.]

Well, I would be wrong to argue against that, wouldn't I?

[He laughs and smiles: a gentle sound emanating from his throat.]

Not when there's evidence.

[beautifullies]

If the science is there, and all else has been exhausted, why not use other non-traditional options? Especially if they can't hurt.

[ It isn't a question to his question, more an agreement to his second statement. ]

Then there's the pure and simple fact that not everything works for every individual's body, both traditional medicine and non alike.
