"If you should be so lucky," I say neutrally, smiling slightly and studying him as he continues his reassuring words. I on the other hand am not so convinced. In some ways he already is stronger and more like himself. When I found him he would never have been able to send the doctor into sleep as he just did. But its that self-pitying look he had on his face, the one that he's getting more and more, its that I won't tolerate.
"Which should be very soon. I've done what I can to speed that up along myself."
"Oh? So not all your time has not been spent pining and nursing the sick back to health?" I ask, tilting my head and stepping closer. I wonder if that was also one of the creators little jokes, to surround me with all of these intensely melancholic creatures. "The trickster god didn't seem so sure when I saw him last."
He also didn't seem like he knew what he was doing, but we shall see. At worst, the doctor and the god die and Iblis already has the doctor's soul, no real loss there. "So what is it that you have done to speed things along, hmm?" I ask, smiling up at him.
