[Gonna slightly tie this in-- just some initial crabbiness-- with the WoW player plot if that's cool with you!]
Ibin's not really bouncing back from the gloom of the last couple of months. He just can't shake the feeling that he should've been able to do more-- and worse yet, creeping around the edges of his thoughts is the fatalistic notion that nothing he can do here matters. After all, that's the point, isn't it-- in the here-and-now, the UE is completely unbeatable. Who cares if he can bandage up soldiers and send them out to be killed again? It's like slapping some gauze on an amputation and wondering why the patient is still bleeding out.
However, he's doing his best not to listen to that little voice. Medicine is his passion; a few bad months-- even a few bad years-- wouldn't stop him. So he puts on his best bedside face and walks into the exam room.
"Hello, Mr. Dawningsun! I'm sorry we haven't really gotten a chance to talk before, but everyone says you've been a miracle worker with all the paperwork. Hmm, you're here for...?"
:D all I want out of this is something terrible and vaguely Housesque
