The redhead gives the green haired doctor a nod. He wasn't wrong. Haku was getting these headaches from overusing his ability. He was too kind for his own good.
"You do make a good point. ... I suppose while I'm here, I can try and unwind and enjoy this vacation away from home."

They had so much in common, it appeared. Baizhu nodded in understanding.
βEven so, it would be a healthy approach to prioritize yourself enough to not get too heavy headaches. Otherwise you'd struggle to help others after. You're a kind soul, and it's most admirable, yet I, as a doctor, -

"I can control my intake, for the most part, but when I feel somebody suffering in their sleep, I feel the need to help them, regardless of how I feel."
The hound lifts a brow at the mention of these dream eating Yokai. There were other entities out there that hold powers similar to his own?

βDoes it mean you can't control how much of dreams you consume? I heard some yokais can consume dreams too β and so, they help people to ease their anxiety or even more. Yumekui Baku, if I recall correctly. Are you happen to be them?β

"My mind can draw in dreams of others around me. The contents and how much I take in can physically affect me in different ways. Too little, I'm tired and lethargic. Too much, I begin to get headaches and grow feverish. The severity of these symptoms depends on the types of dreams I consume, too.

βWould you mind explaining what are these abilities?β
He wasn't sure if he would be knowledgeable enough, but perhaps he could be of help nonetheless. Baizhu was a researcher, so here was the hope.

"Oh, well, thank you, ... but other than providing temporary relief for my physical symptoms, I'm not sure if you can provide me with more information. These headaches are a result of me overusing my abilities."
Haku lifts his hand and rubs the back of his neck. How was he going to explain this to

βIf you're staying for long in Liyue you should come to my appointment here, it's worth checking what's wrong with your head. Could be a lot of reasons, and it would be worthwhile to take a more careful approach to choosing a medicine. Don't neglect your health, please.β

The redhead nods, acknowledging this doctor's advice. He didn't want the overconsumption of painkillers to affect him negatively.
Seeing the other find the pills brought some relief to Haku. He could finally go a night without suffering. Maybe he could even get some quality sleep.
"Thank you,

βI see. I suggest you to buy an enveloping stomach remedy to prevent the effects of frequent consumption of painkillers too. You wanted the painkiller from a migraine, right? Let me see if I have them in stock.β
He moved away from the counter, peering into two drawers.
βAh, yes. There +

"Only when I need them." The redhead falls quiet for a moment.
"Once a week?"

He shakes his head. He hasn't been examined by a professional in quite a while.
"Over the counter painkillers should be fine. They'll get me through the day."

βWhy yes. Have you attended to a doctor yet? It's best not to start taking medications without proper examination. I can offer you painkillers, though.β

He steps inside. The closer the redhead steps, the more tired and bothered he looked.
"Do you have anything that can stop migraines and help with sleep?

Hello. How can I help you?

Stepping onto the room. So many different aromas reach the redhead's nose. It was a little overwhelming. He stopped at the door and stared at the doctor. He didn't know what he was doing, but he seemed busy. Maybe coming to a clinic late in the day wasn't the best idea.

Hands full of herbs, he's sorting them out.
