[Here is one disgruntled English lady. You might have seen various shades of this annoyance after the pods plummeted to the earth, checking for injuries (maybe on you, personally), or more recently at the Sanctuary collecting blood. Apparently, the latter is why she's deemed it necessary to post.]
Thought I'd drop a quick word, given some of my experiences since we've all come together.
Now, I understand we all come from various worlds and times, with vastly differentiating forms of medicine, but I'm sure it's safe to say that bloodletting is not the preffered sort of medicine people want here. I don't care if someone here handed you a knife, of if that's what you're used to doing. That is not how you collect blood. You use a needle, and hopefully it's held by someone that knows how to find a vein. If you'd like to learn, I'd be happy to teach you.
Secondly? Your blood, assuming you're... human, or what the biologically average human is, is going to be used by anyone who needs it, rich or poor. The blood of a king is not going to make a beggar on the street suddenly somehow contend for a throne that doesn't even bloody exist in this world.
[There's a pause in which she almost calls a certain someone named Richard out, but she's a better woman than that. Just barely.
There's a flicker of a forced smile.]
Thank you.

I don't know. If it were possible, perhaps. I know next to nothing about magic.

For what it's worth, I wasn't born with it, either. And I had kind of a hard time picking it up. But once you get going with it, it's easy.

Who taught you?

[He's not sure what she means by 'asylum' but burning at the stake he gets. He's heard about that kind of thing. Worlds that reject magic completely. Thankfully, they're supposed to be rare.]
They'd have to catch me first and I think they'd have a hard time with that.
[Anyway.]
My Master taught me.
