Yes.

[ Grell's voice is flat, devoid of its usual, rolling rise and fall ]

I've been... I mean. How are you?

[Of course. His first line of thought would be directed at himself, that was to be expected.]

Well. And..yourself?

I'm fine.

[ A pause ]

I'm...

Have you really been well? You were ill, I'd heard. Bitten.

[Ah, that incident. He'd rather not go into it. Too traumatic.]

We talked. Briefly, that night. I can't readily remember...But yes. I was attacked.

[A somewhat awkward pause.]

I've sought resignation from Skye Medical.

I... really? You have?

You weren't there long.

Ah..A conflict of interest, you might say. I'm not meant for a more general medical setting.

The philosophies of the medical community here alarm me, as well. I've decided to transfer to St. Theresa's until I've saved enough for a...more private practice.

Oh.

[ He doesn't pursue it; he doesn't understand ]

Look, I...

I wanted to talk to you about something. Something we haven't discussed in a while.

[Yes, yes. Use him for your more selfish ends if you must.]

Ah, yes. What might that be?

It was a conversation we had. It was some time ago. Last year. Early December. The night William--

Anyway.

You said some... things to me then. I've been trying to remember what they were. But I can't, somehow.

[Listening quietly.]

...Do go on.

Well, that's just it. I can't remember what we talked about, not precisely.

I only remember - I felt better. Afterwards.

Oh...[Soft laugh.]

Well, then. What would you like to talk about?

From: [identity profile] deathknellgrell.livejournal.com
It was something you said about... me. That I was... That I didn't have to feel like...

I-I don't know why I'm even...

[ A pause. And then Grell's voice turns bright. And false. ]

I suppose it doesn't matter, if neither one of us can remember.

I remember perfectly well.

[These stammerings...Was the other nervous, or merely avoidant of the circumstance?]

Does this concern Mister Spears?

I suppose I was waiting for you to tell me, but if you'd rather I lead the conversation, I will oblige.

You do?

[ Another long pause ]

Er, yes. In a way.

Despite the influences of...questionably behaved mistletoe, yes. Yes, I do.

[Not likely to forget, either.]

Speak plainly then. I should think we've said enough to one another for you to know that everything you disclose to me is kept in strict confidence.

Ahh~!

If you remember, then - you said something to me. About him. What was it?

Audio;

From: [identity profile] psyd-seward.livejournal.com
[A soft pause in the background.]

I said several things, if I recollect correctly. One being in part that I was of the opinion that he mistreated you, and that I disapproved of how he referred to you as a 'thing'. The other...Well, that—

[Pinkening, at that. Have a little courage, Doctor.]

I wouldn't stand for it.

Audio;

Date: 2011-04-11 03:48 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] deathknellgrell.livejournal.com
Yes. I remember now.

I think...

[ Grell feels a little cold as the realisation hits ]

I think I might not stand for it, either.

[It was a delicate matter. He'd try to be tactful..]

As well you shouldn't...Especially if what he says is the reason why you inadvertently practise self-destructive behaviour for attracting his attention. If you want approval perhaps it is better to confront him. Of course, I'd rather not overstep myself by presuming..I do not know the extent to which this has been going on.

I've missed you.

Missed talking to you.

[No doubt he's surprised.]

Ah—You have?

Good-bye, Jack.
