Well on that we agree, but the sweets are for me and only for you after you've eaten the fruit. As you know, fruit contains vitamin C, which is absolutely vital for collagen production, and that in turn aids wound healing and tissue repair. So I'm only looking out for you, promise!
[ There's a brief, bright gleam in his eyes that hopefully conveys he's joking, at least about withholding sweets from her. Not the rest, no, the rest is vital. To which he adds — ]
There's actually a terrible lack of sweets here, though I understand that's probably not their priority given everything else.
[ He's been hoping to get more of an answer out of her since their last conversation and here at last, she offers it. In response, he softens and grows a bit more serious, concerned. ]
No doctors are quite like me, in fact. If you're having nightmares, I can help with those and I'd be glad to. It would mean connecting with your mind and that choice is yours alone, Hilda. It's perfectly safe and I would only do what you've asked — help with the nightmares. Ask any questions you have of me, I want you to feel comfortable.
