I have... [and he tries to sit up, but ough antidote not kicking in fast enough, so nevermind,] ...experiments to run. I've been seeking information on the effects for that reason.
You won't be, but it's good that you're optimistic!
Again, let me stay with you while you do, so it doesn't progress any further. Also, try not to move too much. I'm going to heal what I can on you, okay?
[ He only knows a little bit of healing magic, but he's going to use what little he knows to at least make Thorns somewhat stable. ]
Mister Thorns, I... I'm not too sure how to tell you this? But I'm sure you've probably noticed how nethersea brand doesn't bother you, or how sometimes you can hear the thoughts of the Firstborn?
[ This gets a very deep frown from Mizuki. He hasn't spoken to Thorns much back home, after all, so... ]
Bishop Aulus...? [ He's never met him, but the vitriol that came out of Cicero about him was enough to make him wary. ] ...I think he'd done quite a bit to hide things from you, in that case. About what he'd done and such.
No. I only know of him from Cicero. He'd told me to steer clear of him, and didn't seem to like him very much. I'm from a different branch of the church...
[Thorns sits up on his elbows and spits on the ground near where his head just was. Disgusting.]
I wouldn't say I was willing to be part of it at all — but you know how they operate. Sure, Aulus' efforts did prevent me from starving to death as a child in the streets, but he unwittingly has attempted to make me his successor in all but name...
[Perhaps not as a priest, but. It doesn't fill Thorns with nice thoughts, relatedly.]
...but we can touch upon that later. Tell me honestly what you think he's done. Give me more reasons to slit his throat.

[Fair, Mizuki learnt healing Arts, not that difficult to imagine honestly. But:]
How did you know where I was...?
