But doctor is much better... we’re really lucky some of the Moonblessed know things like that, because when I went to a Prismal they just wanted to ask all sorts of weird questions.
[Tending the hot pot as it began cooking in earnest, Konoha flashes a smile.]
Now I know who to go to if I turn a hoof!
[... or actually, maybe she should find a farrier...]
[Konoha asks, but... well, she supposes there is something to acting besides being tall and handsome.]
I'd really appreciate it if I was ever in trouble... We jinba go to human doctors sometimes, and horse doctors other times... depending on where we hurt, I guess. But here there's no horse doctors, are there?
[Er, "veterinarians". Stirring the pot, she starts to separate the meat from the vegetables, testing their firmness.]
Legs are really important for us... But I guess even a human doctor probably knows that, right? You have to be really smart.
[It's all stuff that's just natural to her, but she's gotten used to having to explain it, enough that she can do so cheerily, stirring the pot a bit more until...
Oop, oop, almost ready... she's reaching for the bowls... !!]
See...before coming here, Konoha-san. I had never witnessed or met a jinba in my life. If I am to treat one, I believe that I should learn everything I can. Do you need both human medical care and equestrian care? I do not have a license to practice veterinary care, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't do what I could.
[He takes a sip of his drink, slow and thoughtful.]
Ehe... That's true for most humans here, it seems.
[Bowls in hand, Konoha starts ladling generous helpings of simmering meat and vegetables into them, topping them off with a few round balls of steamed rice.]
Back home, my village didn't have a jinba doctor... so my parents called a human doctor when I was sick with, you know, like a cold or something... and an animal doctor if I turned a hoof... but I guess it's complicated?
[She pauses to sort of pat along her torso with the hand holding the ladle, food momentarily held hostage by distraction.]
Jinba have two of a lot of things, I guess... organs, I mean. And some of them are connected and some of them aren't... my boss said so.
Perhaps that seems to make a little sense. Calling two types of doctor. Do doctors exist specifically for Jinba, though?
[Wrapping his head around this. Sipping his tea once more in thought.]
I suppose licensing would be an issue...they would need a medical license and a vet license. School for those things happens to be very different. I ent to school for my degree in medicine and of course the necessary requirements to be a surgeon.
I've heard big cities have them... but not my village. And we definitely don't have, um, "licensing"...
[Not... really. Not like she's heard more "modern" people use the word. Another absent trace down her abdomen where human blended into equine (and one set of organs blended into another), and Konoha finally gets back to work and hands the good doctor a piping hot bowl of meat, vegetables, and small mashed rice dumplings.]
I don't think we even have surgeons... not like they have here, anyway, where you can cut people up while they're asleep to fix their insides...

I would do my best to help you if you turned a hoof, though, I am unsure if I have ever treated a hoof...well, there are first times for everything.

I think I would forget lines, or look at the wrong place. Get out fo character too? It seems like a tough job.
[NGL, he is watching that pot. Please it smells so good.]
