Twentieth Check-Up

[doctoronboard]

If anyone's cold, I have extra blankets up here, along with medicine to help with cold and flu symptoms.

I'm also offering flu shots, for anyone interested.  I've got a bunch of other vaccinations up here too, but if you want something specific you'll have to ask.

Vaccinations?

[doctoronboard]

Immunizations. They stop you from getting sick by helping your body produce antibodies specific to different infections and viruses.

You mean it takes more than five seconds to heal a wound?

[purebredtwin]

But... Can't your body just produce those on your own?

[doctoronboard]

A human body has a bit more trouble with it if the infection's too big.

[demonsinmymind]

Oh, oh! Are you a doctor?! Ya gotta, ya gotta help. Won't ya?

[doctoronboard]

Yeah. What's the problem?

This all is Dagpit talking

Um, well, I won't lie, we just got released from the brig. And it was a little... taxing on Hal... [Worried] He's, er, not answering me.

[doctoronboard]

Alright... any way to get up here?

[lilyground]

"Flu shots"?

[doctoronboard]

Needles to make sure you don't get sick.

You're too young.

[lilyground]

Umm, oh. I think Even needs one! He's been sneezing a lot.

[doctoronboard]

...

Well, I think maybe someone should come get some medicine for him.

[thiefshonor]

I wouldn't mind a blanket. Are we allowed to keep 'em?

[doctoronboard]

Yeah, sure. I'm getting a few more next time we make port anyway.

[thiefshonor]

I'll take one.
