The tenrec was silent as he took the doctor's advice, mulling over what pangolin just said. It sounded familiar, yes, but... he couldn't quite place it. An organization? Yes, he ... well, he couldn't specifically remember the event, but joining an organization sounded... 'right'. Like he knew that had happened, but not the details, as if it were some very hazy long off memory. "I ... think... I don't... I can't really remember... I joined recently? ... And you're my boss..." Yeah, that sounded right. But that's all he could really get at the moment.

"Mmhmm," Fini hummed approvingly, "Accepting the job required you to move. You were eager to get that out of the way so you could get settled in. Am I right? Unfortunately... on the way back to your apartment, well..." he trailed off.

This... also sounded familiar. "Yeah, you're right..." And then, some small part of Dash seemed to quip 'he's always right'. How odd. And how completely unnoticed at the moment. "... but... I don't really remember..."

"Well, this does present a problem, doesn't it?" he sighed. "But enough about work for now, we'll have plenty of time to discuss that. Right now we need to focus on getting you recovered."

Dash nodded, it would be nice to get back on his... well, on two feet again in general. Still, the very thought of it... "... is it ever going to be way it used to be?"

"If you're diligent enough you might actually improve on how things once were. As a matter of fact, erm..." he paused for a moment, "Well, I know you can't actually see it right now, but... can you show me your left hand?"

There was the slightest bit of hesitation, but the tenrec complied. If he couldn't trust his doctor, and apparently his boss, who could he trust?

The pangolin pressed his palm against Dash's. "This is my hand. Both of my hands are like this. And I should note that I am a licensed surgeon."

"..." The tenrec brought his hand back to rest on his chest, his fingers flexing slightly as he considered what he'd just been told. "... How long would it take?"

"On average it takes about two to three weeks for someone to get their basic motor skills down. It could be more, it could be less. It all depends on you. I've known some people who were back on their feet within days... however I don't generally recommend putting your weight down on your new legs so soon. Your skin does still need to heal around them. Now, your finer skills, such as your dexterity, will take a bit longer... but again, it all depends on you and how much effort you're willing to give."

Dash frowned a bit, "If it depends on me then I'm going to do my best." As if there was thing he didn't want, it was to be completely helpless his entire life. Like he wasn't beforehand.

"Excellent," Finitevus said, placing a hand on the tenrec's good shoulder and giving him a pat. "You're going to be just fine. Be thankful technology like this exists today!" His hand slipped away, and he allowed that point to sink itself in. "Now then, do you have any other questions or concerns you'd like answered now? I understand what it's like to go through such a big shock, so I certainly don't want to overwhelm you more than you already are."

"If I think of it, I'll ask." Maybe it was the medication, or maybe it was the huge weight now on him, but he was starting to feel a bit drained now that the immediate questions were over. "... would it be alright for me to sleep a bit longer?"

"Of course you may," Finitevus answered, turning away, "You go ahead and rest then, we can always speak more later. Remember you can call me if you need anything." He turned and began to walk off.
