Because he's a 'fancy shitter,' and because I don't care.
I'll wait for him to answer to cut in. I can join you in the Chantry to sell it if need be.
I'll remind you that I am a healer, but it's your chapel. Slim chance that he knows who I am anyway.
Sister--
[Mmm what hour is it time has zero meaning who cares.]
Do you have a list of what you need?

[ Time is irrelevant during outbreaks. Which might be why Sawbones sounds extra cranky. ]
A full, well staffed clinic with a decent budget might be a nice start. Failing that, if you can find half a dozen jars of honey, that would be immediately helpful. I can't say I care the providence by which one came by them.
[ She's not not saying that Iris should steal, but like... ]

[Chantry robes or not Chantry robes? Easily recognised but hard to argue with that edge of authority right?]
Haven't we enough nobility here to go hat in hand to their families to help fill the coffers? They might as well make themselves useful before the crisis. [Anyway, there's rustling, paper in hand yes she's making a little list to be official about it all.] Honey first, what else? If I'm going then I'll make proper trip of it.

I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt at the moment. Apparently you can be nobility and broke. Seems to defeat their purpose, but...
[ Rustling on her end as well and then a list of medicinals rattled off, Sawbones adding: ]
The merchants are hiking up the prices for embrium again, but the Widow Rathbone in Lowtown has been willing enough to trade for eggs and flour.

I know my countrymen, I wouldn't trust any of them as far as I could throw them.
[And she is one small girl, she can't throw far.]
Maybe I should get my own hens that way at least there'd be some sort of supply. Why are they hiking up the price of embrium? No one does anything interesting with the embrium, I could understand if it was the elfroot where there's a passion for it and it's hardly difficult to grow. I'll never understand damned merchants. The flour...I bake. No one will notice that. The Maker will forgive me.

Not all of them are your countrymen, Sister. Still, I'm inclined to agree. I'll be checking up on them when we're not overrun with illness.
There's a demand for it with the grippe and it's winter so no one can grow it. Bloody fucking parasites is what they are. Getting hens is a good idea, though. Talk to the Seneschal, he's a sensible man.

Once when I was younger and there was something, a pox I think, we all itched and sweated, the Mother said how much more biddable I was when I was ill.
[Gentle reminders. Plant the seeds etc etc.]
Well I will have to do my very best with them to remind them that helping us with the grippe helps us all and that we'll be so grateful, won't we, if we are charged a fair price. Charity benefits us all. Is that praise I detect about the Seneschal?

I usually threaten to give my more difficult patients a round with the leeches. Getting money for it would be an interesting change of pace.
I ought to have you talk to the merchants more often, I find it entierly too easy to get impatient with them.
And yes, it is. I think he's very admirable.

In this case some of your patients are the leeches. The leeches you use serve a purpose and serve it well.
[Hang on let her just haul on the rest of her clothes and not strangle herself.]
Sometimes if you talk to them enough they just want you to go away. Or you cry. I find I am not above crying to get what I want and huffing and stamping your feet only get you so far. [Dry anger is one thing that frequently gives way to wet anger, why not make it useful?] Very admirable? He lifts a finger then?

Ugh, this is why I don't doctor the rich. Leeches belong in jars.
[ And Sawbones can't even name the last time she cried, so skipping over that part neatly. ] More than. He's very proactive on ensuring the proper paperwork and procedures are followed. He even wrote an informational pamphlets regarding the care of goats for when we had to go wrangle those blasted Vinmark goats.
[ And yes, this is clearly meant to be high praise. ]

Serault has the proper glassworks, they could accommodate I'm sure.
[Sometimes you experience everything intensely and it only has so many ways to come out.] I'll do that, I'd like some hens to have something of my own and I could name them after my Sisters. Perhaps-- Mmmm no, probably not. [Letters only ever get so much money out of pockets.] Is something needed about the grippe then because I don't know very much but I do know people can be exceptionally foolish and if he was willing for goats you should make use of that connection.

Paid for by the leeches own coin, one hopes. It would be a nice change of pace.
[ There's a soft sound that's almost a laugh. ] A henhouse isn't too unlike the Chantry cloisters I suppose.
I've submitted requisitions, the wheels of bureaucracy only move so quickly and his duties necessitate looking at a much broader picture than mine. There are other ways to get resources that do not require pen to paper, but they're not means for men of order.

Then I'll see you soon.

[ After the inevitable conclusion of this, Sawbones chucks her crystal and the magic book onto a pew and rubs her hands over her face. ]
Well, that was a nug fucked mess but it don't look like they plan on breaking my hands for busting the kid out without asking nice first. Small favors.
[ She gives Richard a measuring look. ] How willing would you be to take some of my grippe rounds in Lowtown? I'm not bringing any of them here, we'll be tit deep in phlegm before the week's out, but Sister Margaret will break my hands if I don't have someone help at the alienage.

Who is this, again, that requires so much of your attention?
[ That all the fuss is about. ] ‘Artemaeus,’ [ he clarifies, to buffer against the type of deflection he’d expect from himself.
The bag he shrugged off onto the bench is one she’s seen him with before; he’s stood still next to it and watched her finish up her phone call with bookdaddy bearing a familiar absence of expression. Default neutrality shifts only slightly towards suspicion when she looks at him. Measuring her measure. ]
What do your rounds entail?
