[it's like watching Shakespeare on PBS to help Harry get through his English homework, Norman thinks, as he listens to Faramir. It still feels good, though, to have someone say they'll take his side. Odd, though: after a life of cutthroat business and professional one-upmanship, being trusted so quickly and easily is a surprise.
Norman narrows his eyes a little, wondering for a moment what Faramir could possibly have to gain from that offer. Then he realizes that the other man doesn't necessarily look at it in terms of gain. He may simply think it's important for people to hold on to their humanity, no matter how long they've known each other. It's touching, the sort of thing Peter would have said. Peter, or ... no, he's not going down that road right now. Instead, he huffs a soft breath of a laugh and pushes his hair back out of his face.]
Thank you. I know biochemistry - medicines, things that help heal or affect the body. Maybe once I learn a little more about how this all works ... I could come up with something to stave it off. If I've got your promise to help, you've got mine.
