[ It's a quiet groan. For someone as smart as him, he definitely missed the part where it wasn't going to be enough to keep him asleep for long. ]
It actually keeps you unconscious for less., unless I up the dosage. Your tall Garlean body saw to that. And did you not hear me say that you didn't start dreaming until later, too? That's why I made you sleep. To have an idea of when it kicked in.
[ She takes the paper and tucks it back in, moving her arms over the side of the bed cushions he's on (it's not that much of a height, but still elevated enough for her to be able to) and rests her chin on top of her arms with a little grumpy sound. ]
It only emulates a state of death. It doesn't actually cause it. You'd wake up after a time, and I have the antidote to pull you awake sooner if needed. Even if it's better for you to awaken naturally.
[ She sighs and pushes her forehead against her arm. ]
I'm a bloody doctor, Emmy. I've treated enemies from battlefields if they were found alive. Fairly and humanely. What makes you think I'd do any less for you, even if it's just been a moon knowing you?
[ She has considered it— the lack of time to be trusted, though without outright saying it, her wording is particular there.
She just categorized him and enemies separately after all.
She turns her head, ears flattening over the back of it as she looks up at him. ]
Just. Think about it. Alright? You've already got a nightmare demon latched onto you. This way, you don't end up fighting it, but tricking it into letting you go. If it thinks your mind is dead, then it won't be able to give you any nightmares.
[ Of course, they have to see how effective Lilith is, if he even lets her. ]
... Not that I blame you for being mistrusting. But you can test it if you're not convinced. On me. I crafted it with enough specific care that it'll work only as long as it needs to.
[ She pushes her head off her arms and looks up at him. ]
We have a bell before Lilith gets here. It takes one tick for it to kick in. Five for the body to start slowing down. In ten, you're immobile. Your body starts to cool, but that's just an effect of the ice blossom— enough to trick anyone. My mind won't rest in that short a time, but if you use the antidote once you can't feel a pulse, it'll stimulate the awakening process. It can only be used when you can't feel a pulse, though. Any sooner and your active body will just stimulate and absorb it.
[ At least they won't have dosage problems right now, she's small enough in stature to not need much more than one vial. ]
Just need to slip the antidote pill under the tongue. That's important. You don't want the patient choking. And nay, it isn't actually going to dull your mind on awakening or make you drowsy. Slight dizziness is expected, but...
[ She is serious. ]
This is my craft. If it goes wrong, it should be on me. So—let me convince you. And when it doesn't mess up, I can laugh and say I told you so.
