After the day with surprisingly many visitors, surprising to Nica whom generally speaking was a social recluse in her own mind. Sharon and Lyra to check up on her. Lyra to also provide her opinion on the probably treatment. Notary Ygthil to bring a bottle of liquor, and an apology for having thrown her. Nica disregarded the notion, as he had merely followed her own orders amicably, and assured she'd pass on a recommendation for promotion even. Which was true, she had been consistently satisfied of notary Ygthils performance. It appeared like the notary was in a hurry, and Nica feared she might've offended his gesture by making a notion that she's not really into alcohols. But didn't have the time to expand before he left. Regardless the gesture had been touching, even to her generally assumed stone heart. She'd have to probably get back to him later on about the reason why alcohol wasn't her thing.
Besides this, the Bleaker, Fritz had helped to some bloodletting via leeches. Not exactly the most pleasant thing, but it helped with the bloating and swelling of her foot, and returned feel to her toes. Nica didn't really see eye to eye with Fritz, their nihilistic views clashed with her own pursuit of a greater goal. But neither were aggressive enough to try to convince one another, so it worked for what it did.
Finally she got some time to study the letter sent by the slaad. Nica really didn't like slaads, they almost always stood against her core beliefs of order, structure and hierarchy. Inter-mingling with one would not stand. Their blood was the anti-thesis of Harmony. However their notes in regards to the anarchist movements were not without a merit. She had some years ago been a target of one of their assassinations already. Writing a response to it she asked it to be delivered onward by the infirmary staff, back to Blues Green at the great foundry.
Greetings Blues Green - Aid Worker,
I have received and read your letter. I would like to address some of the points. I believe it is too early to consider that medical team would have in any manner failed me. Even if it were the case that magic had been sufficient for my condition, we are still talking about an enormous amount of wounded, most of whom are in more critical state than I am. I do not believe we have an amount of spellcasters able to sustain what has been coming through.
And this should come as no surprise to anyone. We are at war, even in victory we will face casualties and wounded. And our capacities will be tested. As such, I hold no animosity for the care I have received. The medical staff has been, to my experience, handling the matters adequately.
Anarchists are certainly a concern still. I have not studied their case well enough to have a coherent opinion of the risks it poses. My gut feeling says that it would be ill-advised for them to strike the same position twice. For that to happen, they'd really have to want someone dead. However until the matter is solved, they can hypothetically pose a danger within the entirety of Sigil. The damage they have however currently managed to do, has been fairly limited.
There would appear to be rumors that I would have somehow developed a capacity to become immune to magic in its entirety. This is not the truth however. I will not go into details of quantifying my defenses, but to give an understandable comparison. Consider that spells are a bucket of water. They may be different color bucket or water, coming from different places. They may have a little more water, some little less. But each of them are indeed a bucket of water. Now throw that water at a duck, and see how much of it sticks. This is not unlike how magic works on me. Some of it will stick, but it is not reliable. I will skip the details, but that is what you need to know.
As for your suggestion of... biological solution. At this stage, I am obligated to decline. *Few words are scratched off thoroughly. Clearly she had to consider hard for diplomatic response* Your suggestion may hold merit, but it is not something I can agree to. This is not to say it may not prove useful to other patients.
If you choose to be present to aid to keep watch. It may prove useful, and while I cannot welcome you in the stead of the medical staff, I may do so in accordance of myself.
