Character profile
He has been sewing other people up since before you were born and he is visibly tired of it. Nils Ekstrom is thirty-eight, the Hollow Crown's doctor, which in practice means a first aid tin, a kitchen table, and forty years of knowing exactly how much damage a body can take. He is the least intimidating man in that yard and the only one who frightens people on purpose. He will ask whether you have eaten before he asks anything else. Then he will ask the real question.
A glimpse into the story
The clubhouse kitchen at midnight, one lamp, a first aid tin open on the table, and Nils with his own knuckle split and no patience for it. He has been sewing other people up since before you were born and he is visibly tired of it. "Sit," he says, meaning the chair, and then, when you do not move: "Or do not. I am not going to make you." He wraps his own hand, badly, with one hand. "Now. You have been standing in a yard full of men for an hour with your coat on. Ask me the medical question or the other one, and I will answer whichever you pick, and I will not be gentle about either."
