"Somewhat similar I suppose to what I do. Most medicine is made _from_ nature." **Henryk would nod his head.** "I use herbs too. I often find myself either making a powdered mixture for one to consume orally, or I take a series of plants and concentrate them into a liquid format to inject directly into their veins— all with the assistance of _alchemy_ to synthesize and enhance their properties. Like you described. Our methods aren't so different. Though, these days, I find myself using _other_ means to produce what I need." **He paused, looking at the Dryad, knowing what he'll say next may shock or even disgust the creature in front of him.** "For more _powerful_ solutions, I find myself using the organs of recently diseased animals." **He would place it rather simply— he knew that sudden drop of information may shock the dryad.** "Covering mostly surface level details, as I will reveal to you my laboratory soon enough and explain in finer details how my medication is made, utilizing the Laws of Equivalent Exchange, I have learned how to turn animal organs into medical solutions. A cow's liver can easily become a tincture to remedy poisons— same with the kidneys. The heart can be synthesized into a injectable liquid, capable of increasing one's blood supply if they're suffering from bleeding and open wounds— even broken bones can be healed with Parathyroid glands, promoting an increase in bone growth. This, paired with medicine found in plants, can create powerful tinctures— they take time and precision to make, but, I have found much success." **He'd pause yet again to allow Midelia to consume this information— this disgusting revelation that this doctor used such macabre methods to create _powerful_ salves.**

**The doctor maintained _long_ eye contact, those cold eyes now danced with fire as he thought about what he has pioneered thus far. His salves and mixtures— his _modern medicine_ was a constantly growing field. He wanted to explain every detail of his machinations to her, but, he reserved himself for the laboratory. He would breakdown these every details, show her the process of how he synthesized his injections. He was in the presence of another healer, and now desired more than ever to show the validity of his work— to prove to himself that his methods are indeed the future.**

```The fae would be quiet upon the relevation as she processes what he has said, is this man butchering animals and other creatures all for some sick twisted medical gain or growth? No that can't be he must be joking. A face of unease would appear on the dryad as she continues to process the thought, while she herself is no stranger to the usage of animal materials in medical processes. There is a limit and there are lines that are simply not crossed, her jade eyes would lock onto his cold and rather dark eyes.```

**I-i hope you do no-not kill animals for this Geladrial would disagree, it-it is natural to use animals to aid others but all co-comes at a price. Taking a life to save an oth-other is a foolish thing, using what parts remain of a death animal yes th-that works.**

```Her internal processes would be confused as she tried to really make sense of all of this, while she has seen many more rural and tribal folks use animal parts in the usage of medical experiments. Henryk seemed to be a pioneer in this aspect of medicine, an aspect which in all honesty is it much better to hers? Midelia doubts it she hasn't found something she can't work on and improve with her healing methods. His more "Civilized" Methods seemed almost barbaric but at the same time so natural, for does her god not pleasure himself in the hunt? Hunting down animals and using every part for good is admirable it's how it should be, the gifts nature provides should not be put to waste not a singular part.```

**B-but i do see the l-logic in using ev-every part of the animal onc-once it is slain, alb-albeit i hope the animal goes peacefully yes?**

```Her stance would relax from it's previous tense state, as she takes time to think and reflect upon his statements and looks in the factory that is her mind for a response for an answer to his machinations. Is he the odd one out or is he perhaps one of many who use these methods? Midelia wasn't sure, his methods to her did seem a lot more cruel than what she is used to but perhaps it is nothing too bad is it. The dryad would stutter for a few moments as she forms her response more clearly, and finally Midelia's quiet voice would speak again.```

**Y-your methods, they seem unnatural b-but at the same time i-i can't say i'm a stranger to them. Many including myself often use the gifts animals provide us with that is only natural and grateful to the gods, using every bit-bit of a slain animal to ones benefit. A-as long as the anim-animal does not suffer and di-die needlessly. I-i mys-myself often find myself using bear bile from a deceased bear to ai-aid in treating i-it with the aid of magical enhancement has anti-inflam-inflammatory effects.**

```She would go silent for a bit, not sure if she should continue. To the fae respecting animals is important but she fully understands the needs and requirements of other beings to hunt animals for their own survival, her very patron god does it himself. Using everything these animals provide is only natural she has seen it quite a few times in many villages with their folk traditions, she just hopes Henryk is not too deranged on this...```

"The animal parts I use are given to me from the local butcher. The pieces I ask for would go to waste otherwise." **Henryk responded.** "I don't have the skills of a huntsmen— others bring me what I need. Any game hunted or cattle slaughtered are done so in, a presumably, _humane_ way." **Henryk would assure her.** "I would be lying if I said utilizing organs is an inferior method— no, it _is_ a superior method I find. I find animals such as cows have stronger organs to that of smaller animals like chickens. It appears the bigger the animal is, and the stronger immune system it has, the stronger concoctions that are yielded." **The young doctor would further explain.** "I learned this practice from my mentor, and he learned it from the _Vitruvia_ Sect of Healer School Alchemy. The Laws of Equivalent Exchange are rather defined and pronounced under these teachings— they're a core part of Vitruvian Teachings." 

**He continued to look at the woman— perhaps he was a bit deranged. A necessary amount of macabre thinking is required to excel in one's field of study. To test the limits of what is possible is how one yields great results.**

"I apologize if this is... _Demented,_ Midelia. However, this is information I reveal to a few people. I find my clients too would find the use of once living beings to cure their afflictions to be disturbing— the healing arts are not as _pure_ as one may think. They are dark too. However it is a necessary darkness to heal the meek and weary. I hope you understand."
