Muraki didn't care much either way. A measure of caution was useful, and the point of the question was to check on the boy's mobility, which he had improved since lunch, when he could barely manage to eat on his own. He'd experienced a similar effect when it came to his own wounds. The cut from the other night had healed rapidly and left only a faint scar.

Muraki nodded once, his gaze thoughtful but distant. "My sentiments exactly. There doesn't seem to be any obvious external damage, but..." He pushed his glasses up with the heel of his palm and crouched in front of Brainiac 5. "Let me know if you feel anything unusual."

Though this wasn't a normal physical, he supposed it would be typical to start it off that way. He pressed two fingers against the boy's neck, checking his pulse and moving on to other points with clinical efficiency.
