What a typical response. Though coming from someone like Kratos, it could be seen as a victory of sorts. The doctor only smiled, though that was hidden by the shadows that consumed most of the room. He sighed and spun on his heel, stretching up into the air as he realized that tonight would count as a job well done. The crystal had been retrieved and Kratos had been preserved, which meant that he'd met all of Landel's requirements.

"Don't you think we might already be there?" he teased. "But no, it's good to see that the drug to suppress those monstrous tendencies of yours works as expected." Otherwise he would have had to call in a team to deal with the raging beast in the exam room, which would have more or less ruined his week.

"We'll have to keep an eye on you, of course, and observe just what kind of long-term effect that crystal has." The doctor couldn't assume that Kratos was completely off the hook now, but that was what made this all so interesting, wasn't it?
