[He'll take that tick for amusement and hope this comment lands in roughly the same spot. The man doesn't hide his tiredness well, and while some schools of thought find that kind of thing reassuring in a doctor, surely nobody patching up the odd violent incident in a brothel should be working themselves into the ground.
It settles Prior a little, enough to remove the need to talk about his conditions under a veil of ridicule (unclean, unclean - it's funny until it's not.)]
Right now? No. I got a repeat on my prescriptions from our alien overseers, so they're keeping things functioning, for now. My eyes are failing but they're good enough to get by, for now. My leg hurts and no one's sure why, I'm not sure I want to know precisely either, for now. I was kept in hospital a couple of weeks not long ago but they managed to get my blood clotting again, for now. My lungs get tight on cold nights but no pneumonia symptoms, for now. 3 new KS lesions - it feels like they're crawling all over me, but only the surface of my skin. For now.
[He hasn't given his diagnosis but. 1986. He has every classic symptom of something just beginning to stalk men like him. Unclean, unclean.]
It's just maintenance, really. I'm balancing this whole tower of cards with no plan for where to go should something collapse.
