I'm sure you can do this if you try, mun.

[Carlisle smiles a little, warmly, trying to share that confidence. There's no doubt whatsoever in it - isn't he proof that you can do anything, if you want it enough and try enough?]

All the same, you might want to reread the books, to catch the... the flavor of my mind, and my voice, before you do anything more than talk to me here. I know it hasn't been long, but you were reading for Edward. If you're reading them for me, you might pick up on something that you'd have missed last time, or that you've forgotten.

Sound advice. Not that I would expect anything less from you.

[He smiles, just happy to see his vampireson. He looks well.]

After so long of giving it, I'd hope it would be worth listening to.

[doctor_insano]

Aren't you some kind of doctor?

[goodvampire]

Yes, I am. Does someone need help, or are you just confirming that?

[doctor_insano]

Just checking! I too am a doctor!

[goodvampire]

[Carlisle smiles warmly.]

I'm glad to meet a fellow practitioner. What's your specialty?

[doctor_insano]

Science!

[goodvampire]

Ah.

[That smile turns a little rueful, though the expression is directed at himself.]

Sorry, it seems like I had things turned around. It's a pleasure to meet you regardless.

[Likewise, Edward's happy to see his-uh, papapire? Yes.]

Oh, there's no question of that. The only question is whether they'll actually listen to it.

[doctor_insano]

Aren't you also interested in science?

[goodvampire]

Unfortunately, in this case her history doesn't look too promising. Still, hope springs eternal.

[As is particularly relevant in their case. Carlisle half hides this smile.

How have you been, Edward?]

[goodvampire]

Some of the advances are certainly interesting, certainly, but I can't say it's my field. I'm a medical doctor.

[doctor_insano]

So you cut people open and see their guts?

[goodvampire]

[Aaaaaand the sideeyeing begins]

Not... frequently....

[doctor_insano]

[Not the first - or hundredth - time he's seen that look.]

Why not?

[cravats]

A shift in focus can certainly make a great difference.

[carriesparasol]

Very wise advice. I find I always come across something new given multiple readings.

uwaaah what is that face for

[174awhile]

[He almost snorts. Almost.]

Granted, my exposure of her history is rather limited, but her venture into our verse seems to be going well. I don't see why that should end with me. Unless something happens to discourage her. Although my mundane seems to be making it a personal mission of hers to be encouraging of yours...

[And he is not even going to go into that, unless asked aloud.]

[goodvampire]

Usually, it's not medically necessary.

[goodvampire]

All the difference, in my opinion.

[goodvampire]

Especially if you read with a different focus in mind.

[Never mind he's got a perfect memory. He's a vampire, it doesn't count.]

because

[goodvampire]

[MENTAL SIGH but all right, if that's how he wants it Carlisle won't force the issue.]

She does, doesn't she? Still, it doesn't seem to be doing any harm - and I am glad that I got to see you, and so soon.

[doctor_insano]

Well, that's not very fun now is it?

[cravats]

Well, I don't know if I would go that far, but it's certainly helpful.

[goodvampire]

[NOT SO SURE HE LIKES YOU ANYMORE]

To the contrary, I can't imagine anything more fulfilling than saving lives.
