[The second the ship feels a bit off to him - by which Stefan means, it's shaking enough that he can't experiment, he marches over to the helm and stands in the doorway with folded arms.

He's half-tempted to yell at this kid, because reckless much? But mostly, he wants to experiment without worrying that Chemical A will knock over into Chemical C and make the other half of the ship explode.

His expression softens at the sight of James, and Stefan doesn't want to yell to someone he doesn't know well, so... he makes his way over.]

Having fun with the flight route?

[misterprongs]

Wouldn't you?

[IT'S A SPACESHIP man this doesn't exist where he comes from. And besides, James loves flying, and loves adventure, so why not combine the two?]

It's a bit boring, just flying in a straight line. Might as well test out new waters.

[stefanged]

[Kid's got a point. Stefan resigns himself to the inevitable, mostly because he's actually agreeing with this, but also because he's not going to be tough about his lab on the first day.]

I guess. [He sighs, somewhat guiltily.] Any chance you could let me know before you try anything, er, completely uncharted?

Not because I don't think it's not exciting, but because the chemicals in the lab aren't always bolted down. [And vampiric reflexes can't get everything.]

[misterprongs]

[James has lost approximately everything you said before the magic word, which is -- ]

Chemicals?

[James turns a bit (steering the ship can wait), looking immediately interested.]

Potions? -- or the Muggle version of it, what's it called -- chemistry?

[Lily has told him it's basically the same ok he's knowledgable and hip with your lingo]

[stefanged]

[Headtilt] Kinda. There's no magic involved, since I can't really use it, but you're close enough.

Part of being a medic is knowing which medicines work for which illnesses. Sometimes, though, I just like experimenting with stuff.

[misterprongs]

[But that makes it even more exciting, Stefan, because you're creating shit without magic, which is honestly way cooler.]

Medic.

[He'll remember that for the inevitable future when he injures himself doing something stupid.]

Were you a medic in your own world or did the ship decide that that's what you were going to be?

[stefanged]

Studying to be a medic, so a bit of both? I'm not officially licensed yet or anything.

[He wishes! Most of his family work in healthcare, and then Salvatore had wanted to be a doctor before the whole blood thing kicked in.] I've got enough experience, though. So don't worry, I can patch people up easy.

[misterprongs]

More than I can do, at any rate.

[James leans back a bit, his arms crossed over his stomach.]

I tended to visit the healers more than practice the art myself, at home, so -- it's a useful skill for idiots like me.

[Adventurous idiots, but idiots all the same. James can call a spade a spade.]

[stefanged]

Hey, it keeps us in business.

[At least the kid knows he's being foolish - Stefan wouldn't know what to do with another Leeroy Jenkins.] I could teach you a bit of the basics, though. I figure, I won't always be around when someone inevitably needs first aid.

[misterprongs]

I wouldn't mind that, but I can't promise I'd be any good at it.

[That seems radically different than his standard way of healing, and while James can mend up cuts and bruises fairly quickly (werewolves are nasty creatures), doing it the Muggle way is a bit... well. Foreign.]

[stefanged]

I don't mind. You'd still have me around to re-tie your bandages.

[He sometimes wishes he could repair things with a wand. Magic's way more useful than immortality, and yet, he's working with what he has.] Worst-case scenario, there's a few healers who can patch you up the magic way. Some're more vocal about it than others.

[misterprongs]

[James tips back in his chair a bit, looking thoughtful.]

I wonder if it works the same as mine... I can't imagine it'd be that difference -- how long does stuff take to heal without magic?

[stefanged]

Depends on what you injured. Broken bones take at least a few weeks, possibly more.

Magic speeds that stuff up, from what I understand, but most of us get to wait the old-fashioned way. [Those of us who aren't magically-inclined or vampires, he means. Stefan recovers from injuries in the blink of an eye, which usually comes in handy (except when he's trying to fake being human).]
