Hello all! For those of you who haven't yet met me, I'm Ethlyn.

I've started working in one of the clinics here, and it's both familiar and not... and it's become clear to me that the places we all come from are far more different than I could have imagined.

So I'd like to ask you about how medicine is in your homelands. Where I'm from, we use magic to heal wounds cleanly and quickly, but we don't always know what causes illness and infirmity. How are things for you--do you use magic to heal, or do you have to rely on technique?

As well as that--who else is a healer themselves? (And: can you ride?)

Wow... it's hard for me to imagine a world without magic. What of gods and dragons, then? Surely they can't exist without magic.

What sort of pills?

Well, I mean, some people worships gods, but it's not like anybody's ever seen one....

[Somehow, admitting that feels really weird when he's talking to someone who can use magic. He scratches awkwardly at the back of his neck.]

As for pills... All sorts, I guess. Anything from cold or pain meds to stuff that can save your life from deadly diseases.

Ah, I see. [She's thoughtful a moment.] Where I'm from, it was only a little over a century ago when the gods came to us to save us from destruction. They took human form, but some of us still carry their blessing, so it's less ambiguous.

[Deadly diseases...]

So for something like smallpox--does a cure exist for that?
