Lung blight--I'm not familiar with it, but it's possible we call it something else up north. [a touch cheerier,] Of course, I'm happy to come take a look. Is he in the infirmary now?
Not yet. I wanted to discuss it with you first and hear what you thought about adding this to your plate of regular responsibilities, since it’s essentially taking on your own patient for the duration. As a chronic illness, it would require regular checkups and monitoring and intervention. The sort of thing I’d do, normally, but I’m reminding myself to delegate more.
And— ( ‘Up north’. There’s a brief pause, a beat which might be a bitten-back laugh. ) You’d have to reach a little further afield, I’m afraid. It’s for a rifter. Viktor. Some discretion and patience required, as well. He’s not the most forthcoming of patients.

( This is an understatement. )
