It takes him a moment to hunt down a pair of potholders and fish out this particular attempt at hashbrowns with cheese. It smells.. like hashbrowns and cheese, but might not have the crispiness he's after. One way to find out! "I admit I don't know how these kinds of things go on other planets, or even other companies, but at Shinra, you go in for anything, and you're expected to do the entire workup. Blood draws, physical exams, whole nine yards. Even if you're there for a sniffle. Always seemed reasonable to me, but I guess that's not standard?"
"Sure it is," she says, shrugging. "But considering everything we'd been talking about up to this point, I just figured we were talking disaster preparedness debriefings, not doctor's appointments. So why don't we do both - I'm there for the first, and you do the second solo. Deal?"

On the surface. He had zero intention of speaking to an actual doctor with an audience, at least not for the first discussion on it, but he could see the usefulness of it.

"I'll send Tendi a message. We're.. on agreeable terms, but I'm not sure what her own ethics are about treating friends."
