week 2, friday evening: room 111

[lohengrins]

[ he was responsible for inviting her here.

the sun has already begun to set, somewhere far away from them. marty is out for the meanwhile, and percival promptly shuts the door after helping wheel her in.

he leans against the wall, a sigh escaping his lips, arms folded. ]

I apologize for how sudden this was. I had to talk to you was all.

[ a pause. ]

You're the only person here capable of performing autopsies -- the closest thing we have to a doctor. I worry that you may be an apt target next week for this reason...and your physical state only worsens the matter.

[ If Rachel is disturbed by the prospect of entering a dead person's room, she does not show it. ]

I am aware. I am very easily killed.

[ She folds her hands neatly on her lap, looking down for a moment. However, she still gives Percival the respect of conversation - a locked gaze. ]

I have made preparations in case of my demise. But other than that... it would help if you checked up on me a few times in a day. Would that be alright with you?

[lohengrins]

You say that so easily -- as though it's a fact you accepted long ago. Your life is invaluable -- don't treat it as anything less.

[ he returns the gaze, his expression now somewhat unscrupulous. ]

...Give me a time and place. May I ask what these preparations entail?

[restlessgods]

[ She has a resurrection device for herself back home, so it doesn't really matter. ]

I have written down all I know, so that it can be passed on. There is also a note that is on my person, in case my body is found. If I do not die instantly... there may be time for me to convey messages about my attacker.

[ A pause. ]

I usually sit in the lounge or the lobby to write, and speak to those who have ventured outside. I do not intend to change this habit.

[lohengrins]

[ all I have are these stupid elixirs. ]

Those are the notes you've been writing in your journal, correct? How diligent of you. [ he'll have to follow suit, huh. ]

You and I can meet before breakfast, lunch and supper on a day to day basis. If there's anywhere in particular you'd like me to escort you to that day, tell me beforehand. Is that fine with you?

[restlessgods]

[ Elixirs at least give you a full ougi bar...? ]

I would love that. Thank you.

[ She gives him a bow, the closest to a curtsey or something formal that she can manage. ]

Feel free to peruse my notes at any time, as repayment. If time allows, I can make you a copy.

[lohengrins]

You don't owe me anything. [ he says this like he won't be looking at those notes — he certainly will. ] But it's been noted nonetheless.

I'm interested in learning more about you as well, however; in turn, you're welcome to ask me any questions about myself. It's for the better that we're on equal footing.

[ in a metaphorical sense, at least. ]

[restlessgods]

[ What a forthright man. Rachel nods again, in deference and agreement. ]

Children have always been the light of my life. I must do what I can to ensure they are kept safe...
