Smoking? Fuck, really?

Sorry to say. It’s astonishingly bad for you; like makes literally everything worse, in unexpected ways, everywhere. Quitting’s probably one of the single best things you could do for your health.

Now you’re just trying to hurt me.

[(-NOOOOO)]

[portalling]

I’m afraid not.

But if it makes you feel any better, plenty of doctors are hypocrites and smoke anyway, so, I can’t force you. And to tell the truth, I’m more preoccupied with the part about managing the lyrium.

[thereneverwas]

Well, [SIGH,] all right.

[He's getting over it quickly.]

Appreciate it, mate.

You’re welcome, ( … what goes here ) bud?

( ‘Bud’ feels weird. Why did he say that. )

[There's a pause on the line, like Barrow is trying to figure out how to respond to that, and he ultimately gives up. Let's just. Let's just leave that there.

No wonder the man's name is Strange.]
