[Dist sighs, irritated, but he gives Luke a moment to calm down and settle. He understands the boy's nausea, but he really would like to get to work as quickly as he can. If he runs the tests on Luke in a swift and easy manner, he could get the results he needed faster, and faster results mean a better way to begin the actual work of defining how much time Luke has left to live. That, and...m-m-maybe trying to find a solution, if at all possible. Dist's not holding his breath at all - Jade's research was sound - but he could still...try. Perhaps.
Seeing Luke hunched over and sweating, Dist grumbles and goes to fetch him a glass of water and that medicine he promised, to counteract the miasma. He approaches when he's absolutely sure the replica wouldn't collapse (or worse), and sets the glass near him - withing arm's reach. If he needs it, it's there for him to take.]
It's nothing, though I do hope you'll compose yourself well enough so as not to interfere with my research. I'd prefer that you remained conscious, you see. [Dist pushes back his hair, still waiting for Luke's color to return.] If you're too unwell to run the tests, I can let you rest here for as long a time you need to recover. There's medicine there, and water, if you need it. The tests will do a full scan of your entire body. You need only lay down, relax, and let the machines do the work. [Kinda like a CAT-scan.] I'll also monitor your heart and blood pressure, among other things. The test itself shouldn't take long at all.
[Though the data he should gain will take Dist quite a long time to process and decipher into something accurate and easy to read.]
Once that's done, you're free to go and rest your body. I doubt the work will be ready for some time, depending on my findings, but I'll report back to you as soon as I can. ...Rest assured however, this is my top priority at the moment. You should feel privileged.
