Despite having had countless of doctors attend to her in her early childhood, each attempting to stop the illness from claiming her life, Nora found nothing of merit in Dr. Moran's attitude. The patronizing treatment of women, the perpetuation of norms--it only served to further enforce Nora's notion that she and this world did not belong together. There were days when she wondered if it might be more apt to disappear, to take a new name and a new station, simply to rid herself of the norms and formalities. 

[color=00ccff]"Am I a woman or a child?"[/color] Nora asked, frowning ever so slightly. Her voice was soft and quiet as always, and with the slight pain of the burn in mind, she allowed Dr. Moran to enter her rooms. In one breath, he had already begun to treat her as an infant, but she must make do with it. She needed the medical knowledge of the man. [color=00ccff]"Now, I do expect you to uphold my privacy in this matter. Should the ton begin to speak of this matter, I can assure you that my father and my brothers shall do all they can to ensure you never practice medicine again."[/color]

She paused for a moment, to allow those words to wash over Dr. Moran. As much as she found little merit in gender roles, she assumed that the doctor would be more persuaded by the threat of her brothers and father intervening in his personal affairs, than Nora herself. Furthermore, she saw little point in correcting him to not use the courtesy title--it was a courtesy, one that she attempted to decline whenever she could. But society was not so easily persuaded. 

[color=00ccff]"Very well, I now must be quite frank. I did not call you here to deal with a matter of insomnia,"[/color] Nora explained, raising her branded finger into the light. [color=00ccff]"I believe I am in need of medical assistance with regard to this small misfortune."[/color]
