Mr. Mediator,

I'm sure you're already doing so, but I'd appreciate it if you could check in on Aletheia. I honestly didn't mean to upset her today with my message. I'm not going to stop being a doctor, but I'll see to offering my services more discreetly if it's going to cause this much of a problem for her and some of the others.

I don't know what she's gone through to put her so against just the idea of people like me existing. But I'll leave off interacting with her, as well, if that's going to cause a problem. I hope you can take care of each other.

Regards,
John

[John's beginning to wonder if it's a trait of trolls that they like to talk. Excessively at times. It's not that he doesn't appreciate Izzy trying to do some manner of explaining, but he hadn't really meant this to be a discussion, more just a request for help to one of Aletheia's friends. He doesn't actually know who the others might be apart from Izzy.]

Mr. Mediator,

You can tell her that, certainly, and you don't need to apologize. I can and will defend myself, as I need to. I walked away from my discussion with her because I saw it wasn't going to do anything but frustrate the both of us. There are some people who won't be told. They need to see. I can deal with that.

Like you said, I'm new. I'm rocking the boat. And I don't like being here. She has every right not to trust me. I'm not going to push it. But when she starts trying to shout me down when there are people who want and maybe need my professional services, that's when I'm going to get angry. You're free to tell her any of that, as well. I'll respect her desire not to deal with it, if she'll respect my right to practice medicine for those who want it.

As for where we stand, you're her friend. That's why I contacted you. I'm not going to be able to talk to her with a clear head, and I doubt she'll be able to talk to me with one, either. That's all. You don't need to stick up for me. Comfort her, if you can. If she wants to hear anything I've said to you, then you can tell her what I've said. If she doesn't, you don't need to tell her anything. I just can tell from her messages that she needs someone right now. Whether it's someone to listen or someone to talk, it can't be me.

Regards,
John
