[jiuqing, meanwhile, is nestled comfortably into a chair and has quite a sizeable pile of books stacked near her. one is open on her lap, but she looks up from it with a smile when nogiku speaks.]

I've never seen so many books in one place before. It's wonderful.

[pura]

[she nods in agreement.]

I don't think some of these even exist where I come from... It's a really pleasant surprise.

[countermeasures]

Most of these don't exist where I'm from. I'm going to read as many of them as I can.

[pura]

I plan to do the same. [A small smile... and she pauses.] By the way... If you spot any medical textbooks that look appropriate for beginners, could you let me know?

[countermeasures]

Oh, certainly!

[she smiles]

Are you interested in learning medicine, Miss Nogiku? I could teach you some of what I know.

[pura]

You're willing to do that? [Surprised.] After yesterday... I want to be prepared, should something happen again.

[countermeasures]

I'd be glad to.

[she smiles]

What I've learned has helped me greatly on more than one occasion. It would be good for all of us to be as equipped as possible to help each other out if we get hurt, don't you think?

[pura]

[She nods, smiling just a little.]

Right. And I imagine you'll be relieved knowing more of us can lend a hand in the case of an emergency.

[countermeasures]

Yes, that's true.

[the more people who can stabilize anyone who gets hurt until a doctor gets there the better]

[pura]

Then...

[A small bow, more of a nod of her head on account of the books she's carrying.]

If that's truly alright, I leave myself in your hands.

[countermeasures]

[she smiles and bows back to her]

I'll do my best to teach you well, Miss Nogiku.
