Tombstone Estate

[Doc Holliday]

Doc was told that he had a guest as he tucked a blanket around Midori who had fallen asleep on a living room couch. Having just come home from Canaria Medical, she was still quite week and tired. Hearing of Alvin's arrival, he quietly went out to greet him.

"Nice to see you again, Alvin," he said quietly as he motioned for him to go out on his back deck that overlooked his lands. Like clockwork, Grady brought the two men drinks of choice.

"Forgive me, Alvin, but Midori sleeps. We only got home yesterday so she's still recovering," he explained.
He then listened to Alvin's question, "John," He stated as he turned towards the door, knowing his friend to be there. "I need to know, is it true that Gran Canaria is being surrendered to the Corsairs?"

Doc just looked at him for a moment, confused, shocked and miffed at the same time. With a straight face of stone, he simply answered, "Not as long as I have a pulse." He then sipped his drink.
"Alvin, I've heard nothing about this," he explained, "but you can be assured that I don't like it, even less than you don't like it. I've made my home here, I have a family to raise here, my medical practice is based here."

He didn't know who he was saying it to but he said it under his breath, "Eventus Stultorum Magister."
Frustrated, he patted Alvin on the shoulder and looked out over his estate, "Sorry, old friend but that wasn't directed at you." It was obvious, Doc was just a bit annoyed to say the least.
