I may have missed the party, and I may have not. We are not so certain of the precision of the time dilation. I suppose if we did not, you would not be sending me this message, however.
[A pause, a thoughtful snort at time shenanigans that he's not well equipped to handle.]
'Longer' is over the course of a day or two. I will want to attempt to examine your remaining eye, map it and create a framework for the replacement. Knitting the new one together will take concentration, and then undoing the scars to your injuries and fusing the nerves together will take more precise work--more precise than the replacement of a limb, unfortunately. You will probably need several days to recuperate, and I will want to make adjustments if necessary.
[Evan comes up video-style on the network, given the video responses he's been getting to his text missives. Honestly the description of the process has made him slightly nervous, although his determination to see this through is such that that only manifests as a bit of a flutter in the redhead's bearing.]
Ahh, that does sound...involved. I'll put in the necessary warnings ahead of time.
Have you ever done this before? Is there anything in particular I should, um, be worried about?
[i.e. what can go wrong. Please, Laedo, tell him nothing will go wrong.]
[Luckily, Laedo's calmed enough that he doesn't look particularly nervous; nothing has been left so unresolved in this world that he is preoccupied.]
We are trained in all manner of triage, from mending deep cuts and crushing blows to replacing functional parts of the body. Humans are part of our training, [he adds, seeing the worry in Evan's somewhat haggard face, and lifting his nose in a kind of self-assured pride.] Unless ALASTAIR requires us to part with our inborn magic again, you will be in good hands.
[The degree of proficiency that he is so confident can restore smashed limbs and go so far as to promise the return of an eyeball almost chills Evan as it awes him.]
What a world yours must be that those kinds of injuries aren't... aren't permanent things anymore. I mean, we do alright back home, but... once you lose a body part, it's gone.
Um. Laedo, I want to thank you again for this. It's been... well. It's not been my favourite experience.
We live in peace, mostly. [Laedo looks away from the little projection, now that there is a screen before him and not a recorded voice reading Evan's text notes. Peace for most of it, except for the occasional explosive points when it is very truly not a peaceful existence.]
Your help was invaluable. I support my team--especially those who understand the value of teamwork. Rest if you can. We should be arriving within a short time frame, I suspect.
[Evan, the uncertainty of incipient unpleasantness brewing in his belly becoming enough to make him uncomfortable, looks to bow out of the brief exchange as the conversation seems to wind down.]
Ping me when you arrive, alright? We'll sort out the details when you're back, when you can get a feel for Oska yourself. I look forward to hearing what you guys have been up to, in any case.
