"Not many do. It's why mental illness is so overlooked in society," she explained with a heavy sigh. "And I must say, fatigue is one of the FIRST signs of distress. We have to get you on a serious relaxation regime ASAP before it gets even worse! Next thing you know, you'll be unable to move, paralysis by overwhelming feelings of hopeless," she informed him. So yeah, heed her advice, Mister! If you didn't, BAD THINGS were going to happen!
"And I must INSIST you not do any Auror-ish business for at LEAST six months. To be sure you aren't getting even MORE stressed," she told him. If he protested, she would be even MORE concerned and convinced this man needed a vacation.
"Don't worry about ME. I'm used to it. Many years in the business," she told him before waving her wand and transfiguring his seat into a recliner so he was laying down. There. Relaxing, yes?!
Jory continued to watch the Healer. Did we mention he was highly amused? He was amused at the Healer's hyper attitude and the fact that she was pointing out that he was stressed out. Which he was not, thank ya very much.
Relaxation regime? Now that did sound extremely good. Was he under stress though? Jory rarely took breaks from work and he had joined the Ministry almost as soon as he had completed his seven years at Hogwarts.
"What would this regime consist of?'' Jory asked. Maybe a nice swim somewhere on a tropical island? Basking in the sun? He didn't take the paralysis thing seriously. Honestly, woman. You don't have to make up stuff to get people to follow your advice.
What, what, WHAT?! SIX MONTHS?! No way!
"No can do, Healer. There's too much to do. Besides, I don't want to keep away that long.'' Was the YATI on his way to becoming a workaholic? Hmmm.
"But even you look stre-'' He was cut off when he suddenly found himself staring up at the ceiling. O_O He promptly sat up back.
"I don't want to lie down,'' he protested.
