Fox had indeed survived the initiation into the Children of Atom, returning from a journey he could not quite make sense of with a small religious icon in hand. All just so that he could gain access to DiMA’s old memories. However, he had not returned unscathed — one of the ghouls surrounding the shrine had left him with a nasty gash on his shoulder. To his surprise, the Grand Zealot himself saw to his wound. Fox had a feeling the special treatment might have something to do with the fact his vision apparently meant Atom had big plans for him.
“Thanks,” he said as he watched Richter bind the wound. Sincere gratitude could be heard in his voice, even if he wasn’t sure he could trust the cult. “Nearest doctor’s all the way back in Far Harbor…and it would probably be awkward to go back there anyways, considering I’m one of you guys now.”
The barest nod acknowledged the man’s thanks, the Grand Zealot’s gestures as subdued as his voice.
“Our Archemist is a skilled healer,” he replied after some silence. “Used to be the doctor of that heathen town in fact. Right now, she’s occupied with grave business, but you should have her take a more qualified look later...” In contrast with his humble words, the bandaging he’d applied was neat and precise.
Finished, Richter took a step back to look over his work and then the man in front of him before offering, “In the meantime: Can show you around if the High Confessor hasn’t tasked you with anything pressing.”
