<span style="font-style: italic">~Hrm, not one of the worst mental states I've seen, but still pretty bad. A case of paranoia, reailty-drifting and very low self confidence.~</span>was the first impression.<br/>Lan Feng did deal with<span style="font-style: italic">any</span>kinds of mental issues, but personally this combination was one of his least favourite.<br/>He was not keen on dealing with this, but she was the only promising subject so far.<br/><br/>Ignoring the desire to either jump back or swat her hand away, he allowed her to touch him. Instead he suppressed his streak of misogyny, as he used her reached out hand as a leverage to take it calmly to guide Harriet to the chair she had stood up from as soon as the two 'bodyguards' had left, and sit her down properly this time.<br/>Even a fool could see how jumpy she was, and as a professional, he would not make it worse with his own behaviour.  However, in his eyes, this was basically a research subject. A Cat-DNA imbued female with lots of mental issues.<br/>Breaking it down, he had seen so many bodies in his lifetime, that he could even<span style="font-style: italic">draw</span>in his mind how her mutated ears and tail were connected and included in her body. He might even take a guess what would appear next, or event try to prognose if the fur or the whiskers would appear if she mutated a little more...<br/><span style="color: #40BFFF">"Yes. I know about most of it."</span>he continued speaking calmly, but inside he was sarcastically remarking each of his carefully placed sentences.<br/><span style="color: #00BFFF">"First, my name is Lan Feng." </span>He looked at the patient with a slight smile, putting a little professional warmth into it, just about as much as a cold and stoic person would be able to manage, without looking insincere.<br/>~ Hah the usual approach, you hypocrite ~ Some females might fall at this sight, others would be indifferent, but there had been no negative reaction to his words and mannerisms up to this day.<br/><br/><span style="color: #40BFFF">"Second, I can say I have seen many situations like yours. Also the dreams.</span>"<br/>~Yeah, you hypocrite, because we actually<span style="font-style: italic">intend</span>for those changes to happen. ~<br/>He sat down in the seat opposite of her in a carefully relaxed position and placed his hands on his legs, trying to get the patient to relax more as well.<br/><span style="color: #40BFFF">"Third, I will not ask many questions. You need to tell me on your own, Harriet.  I am not a mind reader, so I can only help you if you are honest with me."</span><br/>~Hah your hobby is just analyzing brainwaves and interpret them. As far as science is concerned this<span style="font-style: italic">is</span>mind reading.~<br/>His sarcasm in his thoughts had no place in normal conversation.<br/>Lan Feng didnt know why, but he expected more from this one than the boring routine. Her personality did not seem staged at least - or maybe he had not looked deep enough into the data yet.
