Well, things have certainly been busy. I suppose that's to be expected, given the condition some of the troops have been coming home in. I can't say I approve of all this fighting... but I suppose there's nothing to be done, now that we're in the thick of things. I just need to concentrate on my efforts at the hospital and not on things I can't

Doctor, you work too hard. Let me bring you some tea...

[monoclelove]

Oh, no. Really, you nurses work far harder than we doctors do. We treat the symptoms, but you care for the whole patient...

Still, tea would be welcome. Perhaps I could convince you to stay and share a cup with me?

[ofthestrings]

Ah... [flattered but downplaying it] Don't be silly. I couldn't possibly.

Oh, please. I insist. You'll be of no use to anyone if you run yourself ragged. I assure you, the hospital will not collapse if you take fifteen minutes out to have tea with me.
