"...o-of course, Epsilon! Forgive me for being so presumptuous. As my patient, I fully trust in your ability to take care of yourself - I merely wanted to ensure that in the highly unlikely event you were to become incapacitated, somebody else would know enough about you to ensure you survive such an incident."

Good grief, Epsilon can pack a mighty intimidating figure when they want to. The apology - and subsequent reasoning - are completely sincere, if not also noticeably kept neutral in tone and presentation - to better mask the good doctor's nervousness.

"...so, ah, with that said, young Ginko-"

The good doctor takes a chance and attempts to turn the conversation back to his fellow employee, hoping that the fact he also needs to address their reply is enough to convince Epsilon to let Faust go - literally, not metaphorically. They're more than welcome to assert any concerns they have in their treatment in the near future.

"-I am in agreement with your assessment. Whilst your injuries are doing the best they can with how relatively recent they are, I would prefer it if you were within arms reach for the next week or so - purely in the interest of being cautious. You are more than welcome to exempt yourself from your clinical duties during this time, for the record."
