Tal stifled a laugh. "To be honest, I don't remember now," he said, feeling a touch foolish. "I'm sure it had something to do with stargazing, though. I haven't gone lately. We should do that sometime," he said.
"You know, I've yet to hear any music from you. And only a little bit from Erisi. Here I am, surrounded by harpers and I never hear any songs," he said with a slowly-forming grin. It was uncommon, even when he spent time with B'jin. He assumed timing was to blame, though he enjoyed music more than he admitted. He had a fondness for music, viewing it as a sort of beautiful art that was far, far out of his range. Any creativity in the boy was long, long suppressed.
He sighed reluctantly. "Unfortunately, I think I need to get along to my next patient," he said. He'd much rather have stayed and had a pleasant conversation with Val for the rest of the afternoon, but it had been a busy day. "You caught me at the end of my break. You're more than worth it, though." To be honest, breaks were a hassle unless he had someone to distract him. "Listen, take that numbweed with you, and come back and see me if you ever seen painkillers or sleep aides or anything," he said. He knew that sort of generosity could be taken advantage of, but in all honestly, there were few people he'd rather give such an opportunity.
