Doyle's dark skin was quite red, even his ears felt hot, "Ruben!" His voice was a low hiss now, "Stop being so rude to your healer." He hadn't dealt with someone this rude since his mercenary days. And they at least had the smarts to treat the person in charge of fixing them with respect.
"Oh, you'll get results love. Don't you worry." The old woman smiled pleasantly at him, fingers digging into his arm a little rougher then they had been, "You'll be perfectly smooth and unblemished by the time I'm done with you."
She switched her attention to Doyle, ignoring Ruben for the moment, "Now, it'll take a few weeks at least. There is some real damage to his arm. If he's unlucky or don't follow my instructions, could take as long as 6 or 7 weeks. He gets lucky and follows my instructions, might be as short as 2 weeks."
Doyle just nodded, rubbing the back of his beck, glancing at Ruben. He knew he could afford to pay for even the longer end of that, though he had no idea about Ruben. Doyle didn't really spend much money and he had made a decent amount when he had been working. He would just talk about that with him later.
For now he just dropped his arm and shrugged, wincing as it jarred his ribs, "Well, that's a little bit of a walk for ya, eh? Why...uh....well...if ya like, ya can stay with me."
Even someone with Ruben's vicious tongue was nicer then the empty loneliness of his house.
