No, I'm just curious to what extent the imprint affected your physical body.
[ he's going to make so many notes about this, actually. he's already glancing at his notebook on his desk longingly...
but before that, he runs his finger down the length of the scar, feeling for where the bullet went in, how smoothly the flesh has since knitted itself back together. ]
And if it had still been in there, I would have removed it. No patient of mine walks around with bullets in their flesh.
When things get tough, we often have to make tough choices. I’m just grateful it didn’t break apart more in my body, or that the ones who shot me in the first place didn't have access to more involved weaponry. You know, like a laser pointer attached to the barrel for better accuracy or something.

there's a playful wag of that fox tail, the knifeshine in his eyes attentive to each stroke against paper, and then: )
You're a real diligent worker. But remember, all work and no play can make things a bit boring. Don't you have any other employees?

Why? Did you want it? Because I'm kind of attached.
