[It's not the worst he's experienced. People are fascinated with the morbid, whether he likes it or not. It's bound to happen. He offered the information, he can't be bothered that someone finds it more interesting than disgusting. He'd argue that types of betweens are easy to achieve, but people turned into gardens? Not easy at all.

But it hits that there's a doctor asking him a question like he has some sort of insight on it without having gained it through study. His insight comes from the time he's from, nothing else. He's used to being deferred to by people with more knowledge than him (or, at least, with papers to prove that they "know" what they're talking about), but this is new. It's not about the insane this time.

It's refreshing. His eyebrows lift. He'd heard that right, hadn't he?]

I'm sure it would be. [There's an opportunity here: help Victor Frankenstein bring back something dead. Or try to. How often does that come along?] But. If you use something here, something too much, you risk blowing the power. Our power, power of others here. Doesn't seem fair to everyone else who might suffer for life given back to a rabbit.

[Which he has zero sympathy for.]

Maybe something smaller would react more. Favorably. [His thumbs twiddle idly, like this topic is nothing to be nervous about.] Cockroach?
