Uveamomuh.
[ A clearing of the throat. An inaudible jaw wiggle. ]
Sorry. I've a moment now. Strange?
[ Just checking. Only so good at telling people he doesn't know well apart by voice alone. The accent helps narrow the field considerably, though. ]
Yep, sorry. Strange here. ( With Stark gone, they’re one down re: Middle-Aged American Men With Marvel Mouth cadence. He takes a deep breath, then, levelly: )
So, I know this might be between you and the Chantry, but I’d like to speak with you about lyrium. I was wondering if you could tell me what sort of dosage and frequency you’re on. While you must stay with Riftwatch out of necessity, we want to make sure we have what you need— that if supplies become hard to obtain, or if, say, you’re incapacitated and unable to administer it yourself, as Head Healer, I want to ensure that you’re still able to get what you need. To do that, I need to know how much and how often.
( —and to be trusted to administer it, but let’s try this first question first. )
[ Thoughtful, with a touch of skepticism—Strange's very sound and considerate reasons here being somewhat undermined by the only other conversations Redvers has had about this coming from mages with agendas. ]
If I'm ever incapacitated long enough for that to be a real problem, I'd rather you go ahead and put me out of my misery.
Say you’re at the tail end of your dose right before a re-up, when you catch a fever which leaves you bedridden for a week, shaky and unable to work the philter. You’d want to be shuffled off the board? For a fever?
Or you come back from an unexpectedly extended mission: already in withdrawal but salvation’s just a few minutes away, and all it needs is a healer to administer the cure.
There are so many ways this might happen. It’s smart to have contingencies.
[ Operation Fuck Off Out Of My Business: critical failure.
He exhales like a horse. ]
It's usually a daily draught. The spoons they give us in the kit, it's more or less a standard size—one of those worth of lyrium.
I've had to go without before. Sometimes I skip just to help with not building up a tolerance. Last time, four days is when it started to be a serious problem. But not a deadly one.
Good, thank you. ( Taking notes. The scratch of a quill. They’re not detailed, but 1D is easy enough to jot down. )
And the interspersed skipping, that’s a good idea. Even if you’re not full-on quitting, you can at least wean yourself down, stretch out that period to give yourself some flexibility — prevent yourself from reaching the point of diminishing returns.
