Who here is capable of either surgery or the sort of healing prowess that would seal a deep laceration in the abdominal area?

[impudentsongbird]

I see. And you hope this operation might prevent it?

... As I said, I'm not a healer, but I could help make the situation easier.

[freewill]

I have reason to believe it will stop the process, yes.

You have no obligation, especially if you're new to this place, but I won't refuse either.

[impudentsongbird]

Lending aid where it's needed is never an obligation. What's the plan?

[freewill]

I'm still getting everything in order, but I'll let you know as soon as I have it worked out. What's your name?

[impudentsongbird]

Gabe. And yours?

[freewill]

Castiel.

[impudentsongbird]

[This handwriting is noticeably more hurried, the paper indented by the pen-nib.]

Castiel. How long have you been here? Were you sent? I don't recall those orders.

We need to meet. Where are you?

[note: gabe received castiel's last message only after this conversation with barnaby.]

[freewill]

Who are you?

[impudentsongbird]

[The handwriting in this note is hurried.]

Gabe.

Gabriel.

The nurse won't let me stay too long in the sun-room or I'd wait for you here. Which room is yours? I can meet you there. Or elsewhere, if you'd rather.

[freewill]

You're lying.

[impudentsongbird]

[Still a little rushed.]

No. I am Gabe, Castiel, I promise. Please, tell me where I can find you.

[switching to Enochian]

[freewill]

Gabriel was here already, and then left. If you're him, then this is a joke drawn out too long.

[and also]

[impudentsongbird]

I've never been here before now, brother. How long have you?

[Enochian forever]

[freewill]

About two weeks.

[impudentsongbird]

Do you remember how you came to be here?

[freewill]

No. No one does.

[impudentsongbird]

That's what I thought.

I said it before, but we need to meet, Castiel. Before your operation. Tell me where and I'll come.

[freewill]

My room number is M39.

[impudentsongbird]

I have none, yet. And the nurse is being overbearing. But I'll find you there, if not next shift then later this evening.
