I hate to bother you, but honestly I can't think of anyone better to ask. I've received an awkward private message from Antonin Dolohov and I'm not at all certain how best to answer him.
He asks, you see, whether he might put me on retainer as his own private Healer.
It's prettied up with all sorts of promises of what else I might be able to devote myself to on the side, as seeing to his care would not fill my time. And the terms are more than generous. However.
I do rather imagine that I could be more use to the Order if I were not tied at the hip and purse-strings to a death eater. And while I've not given much thought to what I will do, I could presumably do us a deal of good if I were free to pay visits to various of my acquaintances who have proven themselves friendly to our aims over the years.
And I suppose I should admit that what I most wish is for things to change so that I might return to my post. I do actually quite love that school, her students and staff. I'm tempted to reply that if he values my service so very much, he might apply himself to ridding us all of that usurping menace and exert his not inconsiderable influence to restoring me to my right place.
Only, one does wish to remain on best possible terms with Dolohov and not alienate him by saying something ill-considered. That he currently imagines himself in my debt is not an asset to be scorned.
