[ When your mask goes ring ring ring in your brain . . . What to do but to answer, yes? At least it isn't the thing to wake Jayce, not when he's up long before the sun breaks the horizon. He's probably in the middle of studying, or creating, or piecing together puzzles. It's only a minor inconvinience to stop what he's doing and "pick up the phone", as it were, but really— he's curious, too. Not exactly a social butterfly, but he doesn't mind the talk if it's the right person.
The person in question is understandable, and immediately gets that rather than annoyance. ]
Morning, Doctor. [ He's going to completely butcher "Sakurazuka", so, Doctor is perfectly fine for now. Jayce takes an extra moment to piece together a careful answer; His leg hasn't gotten better, but the decline hasn't gotten particularly brutal enough for him to consider amputation soon. ] The pain's been manageable, within expectations.
[ Jayce grunts. Relief was highly variable, but, you know— he gets the sentiment. It's a relief compared to the future's approaching necessity. He'll take it, even if it isn't much. Small viktories are a lot. ]
If we can sort earning a tail into "recovery", then, [ a lithe shrug, ] Sure. My sense of balance is being challenged.
[ The only time he's experienced this was when the scales were actively coming in, causing him to shed his . . . Skin. And when he woke up from the Blood Moon, which— well, he doesn't remember feeling anything, but there were empty shells around from his much larger dragon body.
That depends entirely on the reptilian characteristics. But I suppose you'll find out. ( Far... too chirpy for his own good. ) Is there anything you need... help with?
Most of my patients don't require social nuance, but I am trying.

Good morning. This is Dr. Sakurazuka. I thought it might be good to ask how your wound is faring?

That's good. A relief. There was always the possibility that whatever... forces have arrested this world's progress would stay your execution.
( How else, after all, to name it? ) And you are... recovering in other ways?

[ Not just because of a tail too, mind. ]

Other than those time, ]
. . . What, is that seasonal?
