Given how you treated me when we first met, I should feel some gratification that you now express some desire for me to look after you.

[slightlyoffchilt]

... Opinions can evolve, Danger. Besides. You are no longer a professional rival to me, that did sculpt a different... Terrain to our relationship.

[heartlessglitch]

I suppose you feel you have some power over me now that I am your patient.
That must be a comforting thought, Doctor.

[slightlyoffchilt]

It's one that always brings a smile to my face.

[heartlessglitch]

Whatever control you have over me, I allow you to have.
Your power exists through my permission.

[slightlyoffchilt]

I don't care how it's filtered -- [yes he does] -- because power is nevertheless still power.

[heartlessglitch]

Then perhaps you should do your best to enjoy it.
It is impossible to say when I will finally grow impatient enough to withdraw from your treatment.

[slightlyoffchilt]

You're too enticed to withdraw now. I offer you something no one else possibly can.

[heartlessglitch]

If you, in fact, had any intention of treating me, there would naturally come a point where I no longer needed you.

[slightlyoffchilt]

I am treating you.

Just not conventionally.

[Nor to her benefit, really.

FAVORITE PATIENT.]

[heartlessglitch]

No.
I suppose "conventional" is not an applicable word for our relationship.
And it has not been for some time.

[slightlyoffchilt]

I thought you would prefer our terms.

[heartlessglitch]

Our terms are satisfactory as they are.
And our relationship generally serves the function I require of it.

[slightlyoffchilt]

I am also satisfied with our relationship. Glad to know it's mutual.
