It seems that we have new arrivals here once more! Welcome, everyone. I'm Ethlyn.

Since many of us have martial skills, the locals often hire us to hunt dangerous beasts outside of town, and in March we had to go on a lengthy expedition through the forest... suffice it to say, as peaceful as Aldrip itself is, there are dangers around it if you aren't careful. And while I'm sure that appeals to an adventurous spirit in some of you, I'm going to advise you all to be cautious and prepare well if you make an expedition outside of town.

Which brings me to the Arztenritter. Think of us as a band of knights--except instead of bringing a sword or a lance, we bring first aid. Right now, the Arztenritter is me, Marianne, Rinoa, Młynar, Noel, and Astralin. If you find yourself in a pickle, call one of us and we'll ride out to help!

And, if you have any interest in healing and horseback riding, tell me! I'm always happy to add more people to our ranks.

Please! I'm not experienced with anything like that, and I'm afraid that I might get injured out in the wilderness some time. It would be hard to reach a hospital.

[He doesn't have a line to an ambulance. He has to learn survival techniques, right? Also he wants an excuse to hang out with people.]

Given some of the creatures that live around town, I think that's a very reasonable concern. And when you know how to do it, you'll be able to help others if they get into trouble themselves!

Is it difficult to learn? I didn't even learn first aid in school.

[They never taught that kind of thing when he was young. And he really never followed up.]

They didn't? In my house's squadron of knights, even the newest pageboy learned how to splint a fracture.

Don't worry, it isn't difficult! Are you squeamish at all, though?

I thought I should always leave it to the professionals.

I wouldn't say I'm squeamish. Although that's a slightly concerning question now that you ask me.

It's true, a poor healer can do a lot of damage. But that's exactly why everyone should know the basics--so that if an emergency happens when you don't have a healer right there with you, you can be of genuine help.

Well, if you're healing someone, it means you're going to be seeing them in some unfortunate states. In pain, probably bleeding, possibly sick--would you be able to keep calm in that kind of situation?

Ah, you're right. I suppose knowing something is better than not knowing and being in need later. I'll try to study hard.

[He can do that much, although Seimei's medical knowledge is basic at best. It's all about practice, right? He trusts her to get him on the right track.]

I think so. I have seen strange things before!

[That totally counts. You know, when he's referring to seeing youkai.]

That's how I've always felt. And I'm glad to hear that. I think the most important part of the job is being able to keep your head when someone else is panicking--the medical knowhow matters, of course, but you have to stay collected if you're going to make use of it.
