( Well, he certainly hasn't been unpleasant with her, at least so far. And even if he tries to be, he'll find she's quite hard to cross and harder still to offend. If patience is a virtue then she really is a saint.
Angela very likely hasn't seen the sorts of horrors that Caim has, when she's from a far more modern war and the other half was largely robots when she had been a child— then the smaller scufflings of militias and border patrols and crime circles later on. But injuries were injuries. Because of her, what would likely have been fatal in his time was easily handled. She dealt with victims of explosives, gunshot wounds, POWs and the torture endured, chemical and biological warfare in whatever small doses slipped by intensely strict regulations. Her optimism comes from the survivability of near-everything she's laid a hand on; very rarely does Angela ever lose a life under her care. Whether or not she can convey as much, well: )
That's right; I'm a trauma surgeon, more specifically. I deal with severe and life-threatening injuries where speed and precision is of the utmost importance to stop bleeding and close up injuries against infection, while ensuring they will heal properly in case things like prosthetics or further work is needed. I wouldn't necessarily say that I've not seen much suffering, so much as I've been very lucky in being able to heal those I've cared for. Being able to save others and improve their lives goes a long way in soothing what else I may witness, and it keeps my chin up. We have to take the little victories, right?
