“Hmmm… what?”  She blinked, and the light left her eyes.  “Oh.  No.  Not in your head.  As far as I could see it’s empty.” She smirked at him as he rolled his eyes.   “No, what was interesting is your elbow and your shoulder.  Though they have fully healed, and healed quickly because of whatever the system does to us, I could see the remodeling of the bone.   Both the break in your elbow and the dents that lanx put in your shoulder.   Remodeling can often make a bone stronger than it was before the break.  So… letting things bite you all the time, as Chloe would put it, might actually be making you stronger.”

She thought for a while, puttering around with his hand.  “Makes sense, really.  I mean, if you suddenly dumped five points into Strength and had the muscle mass to leap over a building, you’d need the bone structure to survive the landing.  Assuming it didn’t kill you, each time you damaged yourself, you’d heal up and get stronger.”

She set down his hand and cast the spell again.  This time looking through his jeans where he’d broken his leg.  “Works through clothes, no problem.”  She touched his thigh as she leaned down to get a closer look.  “And there’s remodeling here as well.  I wonder… I’d like to be using this spell on someone when they increase their constitution.   Fascinating.”

She handed him his shirt.  “As for the other thing, the thank you, come by my quarters tonight and we’ll talk about it.”  She saw him grin and start to take his shirt back off.  Holding up a hand she said, “Easy there, killer.  You’ve got more scrolls to deliver.” and pushed him off the table.   She shooed him out of the infirmary, already grabbing a pad to take some notes.

Before he left, he paused at the door and asked, “Can you do me a favor?”

“What do you think tonight’s going to be?” She snorted.

He chose to ignore the jab.  “I noticed a sort of… wavy field around you when you learned that spell. I have a couple here for myself.  Can you watch me once with normal eyes, and once with that spell going?”

Instantly interested, she motioned for him to hop back on the table.   Telling him to wait a second, she left the room and came back with a video camera mounted on her forehead with a head strap.  “I plan to use this for surgeries and such.  So if something goes wrong, I can see what it was.  If I ever get to do any. With the healing system here, I might be better off just working with Meg and learning recipes for snacks that cure cancer and heal shotgun wounds in two minutes.”  She sounded more than a little bitter.
