[Victor's jaw tightens. He absolutely doesn't appreciate that sort of tone. This young man has no idea just how good of a doctor he is. What miracles he's accomplished. This blond is just like those old men at the college, looking down on him.]
I beg your pardon! I hardly use leeches. That's ludicrous. [And to be called stupid. Oh. He's deeply insulted. He is certain he's absolutely smarter than this young man.] And you think you know what to do if someone was to suddenly fall ill or find they need a bone set or an operation performed? And where did you go to medical school?
[And while this hasn't been his goal, it seems at least the kid isn't panicking anymore. Are they making a scene? Probably. But hey. No one is collapsing from hysteria here on the ballroom floor.
And then Victor really stares at the young man. So he knows about that sort of thing. About the wives of the devil and of the affliction that effected Mr Chandler. And about the vampires. The dark circles and the red rims of his eyes might give that impression, even more with how cold his hands are and how pale he is. But Victor knows he's living. He knows better than anyone the line between the two.]
I don't know what your dealings with that sort of thing is, but I can guarantee you that I am fully human. I'm simply more advanced than most my peers.
