[Allen is in the lobby, sitting on the ground near the entrance of the castle. He looks rather strange today, wearing a ridiculous spacey outfit with a bucket of pure silver roses next to him. Working for the Host Club for money can really suck sometimes]

[He keeps glancing at the door, to see if anyone is going to come by, and hoping to any molecule of luck that no one does. At the same time, he seems to be going through a pile of medical encyclopedias that are stacked up next to him. He reads a bit in one, before coming across a term that he doesn't recognize and switching to another one to look up that term - or in the dictionary that is also among the pile.]

Just a couple more hours of this should be good enough, right...?

Me?

Oh, just some medical books...I was trying to learn about an illness, is all.

[syntax-error24.livejournal.com]

What kind of illness?

[She picks up one, skimming through it.] Medical books are pretty dense reading material. Having any luck?

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

Um.....something called a stroke?

A little...though I keep having to look up many of the words. [Like every fourth one]

[syntax-error24.livejournal.com]

[Her eyebrows raise.]

Strokes are pretty common knowledge. Where are you from? [The tone is not judging, at least. She doesn't know; maybe you're a humanoid from a different galactic arm.]

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

Ah...

England 1898.

[syntax-error24.livejournal.com]

[Ah, yes. The past. She keeps running into that.]

That explains it. Pretty sure they were more recently diagnosed. Here. [She gives him the book back, the page on strokes open.]

Though I think a simpler book would be a better start. Try a first aid guide.

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

But I already know first aid! I've been taught it several times.

[syntax-error24.livejournal.com]

Ah, right. Average first aid doesn't cover it. [Only special school presentations or handouts do, silly Dair.]

Nevermind. Anything with more... [She glances at the book.] casual language will help.

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

All right...thank you. I'll see if that helps.

[syntax-error24.livejournal.com]

No problem. Good luck.
