[Infirmary is a very straightforward affair. Just like Samu predicted the doctor is awake and ready to take over the patient. But it's also a small place, quickly overcrowded when they all gather inside. As soon as Iskandar lowers the wounded girl onto the hospital bed, Samu shoves them all out to the corridor. He stops at the door.]
Go eat.
[This demand is very obviously directed at his goddess who huffs something unintelligible back at him but Samu ignores it turning to Waver instead. Singled him out as the responsible one apparently.]
I know it's totally out of the blue but please, check that she eats some real food and not just two litres of coffee and a piece of chocolate.
Seriously, Samu!
[The goddess is not amused but Samu has already closed the door behind him leaving them on the corridor. Iskandar chuckles.]
You two must really like each other. Alas, your friend is right. Nobody can plan, much less act on an empty stomach. Come, let's find ourselves some proper breakfast.

Two litres of coffee and a piece of chocolate is not a proper meal?
[Rhetorical question and a bit of self depreciating humor, but no, Waver, it is not.]
He's right, though - it's better we fill up. It looks to be a long day ahead and we'll all probably need the energy.

He wants answers and for her to be able to deliver them she needs to be in a lot better shape than she's now. So no weak porridge or subsiding on leaves or fruit will do.]
I don't eat eggs!
[Kiputyttö exclaims as he sets the plate in front of her, staring in horror at the steaming pile of scrambled eggs, no less than four pieces of dark bread slathered with butter and a generous heap of small sausages. Iskandar huffs. He was trying to be polite here. And modest! That's only half the portion of what he had brought for himself.]
Well shame, girl, now you do! No wonder you're so scrawny.
[The goddess pushes the plate away.]
I am vegan, you dumb oaf!
[At first, the declaration is met with a blank stare. Then Iskandar turns to Waver for help. That means something right? He's sure it does. He even faintly remembers hearing it somewhere. Ehh... for all his good will this is what he gets? Why is she mad at him now!]

Date: 2021-03-09 11:04 am (UTC)From:She means she can't eat anything that comes from an animal. Which covers meat, dairy, eggs... er, honey? It's a diet a lot of people follow for either health reasons or to avoid harming and exploiting another living creature.
[Waver is quite sure that covers honey. Maybe. Bees make it so it counts, right? But he's not sure how strict she is on that.]

Date: 2021-03-09 12:42 pm (UTC)From:[He does make it sound as if he was concerned that she's starving. In a way, he is. Iskandar's unshaken belief that real food means bread, meat and olive has a tendency of colliding with the reality of modern times in most unexpected ways and a lot more often than he'd like.
The goddess just rolls her eyes at him.]
Clearly, neither of you is a god of the Underworld. Or is it only the Finnish one that's so lovely? If I weren't vegan already I'd sure as hell become one now. This everything?
[She gestures to the steaming pile of food with disgust.]
It all smells rotten to me. All food does, but I'd say a hint of mould on fruit and muesli is incomparably more tolerable than rotten eggs or meat. And I can pretend that the vegetables are just pickles, so technically rotten too.
But you're not here to discuss diet. You want to know more about that inky bastard.

Date: 2021-03-10 12:50 pm (UTC)From:[Listen, he was grabbing anything that could go in a proper fry and barely glancing at the rest. Sometimes he is insufferably British. Admittedly usually around the subject of what constitutes proper afternoon tea.
Hm.
Their domains encompass war. Iskandar's much more than his, since Zhuge Liang was known his statesmanship as well as his strategy and Guan Yu was revered for his martial prowess instead. But there's no getting away from the fact that legacy of conflict marks his divinity as the scars of the battlefield have marked his soul.
So no. He can't recall any underworld god in the Far Shore having this issue as well, but that may have well just been a feature of the New Gods there. Her explanation gets a thoughtful frown. The Japanese realm of the dead governed by Izanami is said to one of decay as well, but he's never been and never wants to go.]
That's a good question. [In regards to the various pantheons' underworlds and the properties of gods thereof.] But no, we're not.
[Waver's hands cradle his coffee - black, strong.]
When did that thing first appear? I get the impression you've been dealing with it for awhile.

I think it's two months now. You'd have to ask Samu for precise dates, my perception of time is a little wonky. This is his fourth victim but first that's not homeless or a foreigner. And first that managed to survive.
