Just Angela is fine, there's no need to be quite so formal. [ If he's just "Anders", she didn't need her title. But he's not wrong. ] It's a pleasure to meet you as well, Anders.
[ he has his time to think about how to approach his phrasing, Angela taking the moment to sip her coffee with a bit of relish just so he didn't feel the need to rush as she straightens her pen and marks her page, setting the journal aside to give him her attention when he begins to speak once more. ]
You're certainly not alone in that, I assure you. May I ask how it was you were tending them that leaves you unable? Was it an ability you possessed...? I know many have been without certain aspects or powers they'd possessed before arriving here. Before our ship crashed, the Moira, no one's abilities had been hindered, so I'm going to go out on a limb and assume that this is only a temporary change.
[ A reassurance, of sorts. Even if she's spied him before, she's aware that he's a newer arrival— she isn't sure he was aboard the ship when it crashed or if he's one of the ones that arrived in this place, but she'll offer the words regardless. As to the request, however... She uncrosses her leg from where it'd lain over the other and looks a little apologetic, brows gathering even before she continues. ]
Teaching it... I'm afraid the skill to mend wounds quickly isn't something that I can pass on; it isn't an ability I possess so much as one that I manufactured, and it isn't a technology that I can share. I used it for many as an emergency, as of late, and to ensure everyone can be on their feet and traveling, but it can only go so far on its own and there are plenty uncomfortable with its use.
My medical skill, however, is another thing. I may not be able to completely heal someone's wounds within the hour, but I can clean, treat, and dress wounds as well as offer surgical repair if necessary. Organ assistance or replacement if there are donors available, transfusions, medications— the nanotechnology I possess in the staff you may have seen me using is one thing, but care beyond that is another and I could absolutely bolster your existing knowledge if it's within my ability to do so.
Can I offer you a seat, some coffee? [ This may turn into an extensive conversation and it's rude to expect him to continue standing for it. ]
