❛ starting to think all doctors are out of their minds. ❜

❝ — OH…? IS THAT SO? ❞  There’s a pause. Then a slow smile pulls at Ludwig’s lips, crinkling the corner of his eyes as bemused gaze slides over to settle on the other man. It’s clear from the slow drawl of his words, still-lax posture and shoulders, that the medic finds more amusement in the comment than insult.

Perhaps, were he still recruited in Overwatch, Ludwig might have taken very real offence to the accusation.  ( But he is not in Overwatch now, is he? )  And with time, he’s grown accustomed to it – come to the easy conclusion that  ❛ out of their mind ❜  is a phrase reserved for those who are afraid of men that truly possess the capacity and the prowess needed to push their field beyond society's boundaries. 

It’s of no concern to him. There is little that he’ll change his methods for, after all, and nothing that he’ll stop for. An off remark from a colleague he hardly knows very well matters little in the long run; the most Reaper can really do to him is to a bit of banter.

❝ Pardon if you find me a little presumptuous, but what a gross overgeneralization of the medical field. I know that I’m an exception… but it’s a bit much to assume that any physician can match my mind and talent, Herr. ❞
