He gave another sniff, rubbing his nose with a tentacle as he leaned on one crutch, "I coul'...try an' find out fer ye, if'n y'want."

Aubrey look of condiscendance looked almost motherly. "I don't know if thats a good idea. Dr. Frost was stripped of her medical license for her questionable practices. Some bad stuff."
She winced and pinched the bridge of her nose. "I really shouldn't be discussing this with you." SHe paused. "But I'm worried about you."

"I coul' do it. Was me business afterall, or din' yer files say tha'? 'Course I wouln' do it fer nothin'." He gave another sniff, tentacles fidgeting with his crutches as he stood. In light of how his life had been heading these days, Billy couldn't look a challenge down. Nor the prospect of forgetting he was turning into a rather wriggly cepholopod.

Aubrey frowned. "I can just as easy analyze them myself, without risking your safety or mental stability." She shook her head. "Really, Billy. Why put yourself through anything else?" Isn't it bad enough for you already?

"Aint nothin' tha's no' been t'rough me system, an' I'm still here. Huffed dishwashing soup once. Twice." He corrected himself, "Nothin' she could throw at me'd do a dent. Y'leave it t'me. I'm a fellon by profession an' nothin' a wee bi' o' reconissance cannea' sort out."

Aubrey shook her head some more. "No. No no no. I'll find out for myself."
She sighed. "But if she comes looking for you, you can take the pills if you want. But don't say I didn't warn you."

Aubrey wheeled after him. "Look, I'm just trying to look out for you. I don't want you sick or killed because of some mystery pill this chick gives you!" She shook her head. "I know you'll laugh at me for saying so, but she's ... very unethical. Even for here."
She huffed. "But its your choice. I'll keep an eye on you."

She sighed heavily. "Aye." She looked away.
After a moment.
"Want a ride back? Its a.. a long walk. I get you a driver."
