An act of kindness?
[The Brucolac has clearly just received bad news. He looks positively poisonous, wide streaks of silver whorling over his skin. His jaw is stiff with it, even his hair frosted over with strange metal. His right eye burns gold still.]
I am sick to shit of this half-cocked magic. [He shudders—would gesture, but he doesn't want to show off how badly his left arm is faring under the encroaching silver. It hurts to raise it to shoulderheight; above is impossible.] An act of kindness is no godsdamn cure, to be bottled and applied at will!
What is an act of kindness? Is it kind to tax a people, that a city may grow? Is it kind to lie in order to protect the honest? Is it kind to enforce a system of law and punishment?
By the gods, [he drops back, shaking his head, looking weary,] there is no hope for us.
Before anyone tells me to just do something nice, [pitching his voice mockingly higher] I've given my scribe a longer lunch break. [It is midnight.]
And apart from a marked decrease in efficency, fuck all has happened.

( the offer has her shoulders easing, clearly some manner of relieved for it. supplies weren't exactly widely available to meet the demand of experimenting with all the cures. )
Please, yes, that would be amazing. I'll make sure you're reimbursed for the help.
