Alright, Stein still hasn't come home, and the clinic is, like, seriously understaffed

[Medusa responds with a small smile and a look of concern.]

Hello, Lea. You look terrible. What exactly seems to be the problem?

[[action]]

[limitless_land]

[All she's done is gained vague intrigue thus far. It isn't a matter of if or when an attack will come, just when she'll reach her destination.

Then again, it might just be a blind kid she runs into. But who's to say that could happen? Oh right, he just came into view and stumbled. ...Whoops.]

[[action]]

[screwperseus]

[She stops cold and looks at him.]

Are you alright?

[Her voice isn't quite as friendly as usual.]

[[action]]

[limitless_land]

[He looks in her direction, if the direction his head is pointed toward is any indication.]

Yeah... Just not familiar with this part of town.

[He helps himself back to his feet, brushing himself back up.] ...Could you tell me which district this is and what direction it is back to the Lamufao?

[[action]]

[screwperseus]

We're in the lower district, you need to head north.

[She softens somewhat.]

Do you need any help?

[[action]]

[limitless_land]

Thanks. I'll be fine once I get to familiar territory.

[He shakes his head, apologetic. He almost bumped into her, if what he's reading is correct.]

Ah, sorry. Can't see a thing.

[[action]]

[screwperseus]

[She smiles a little.]

There's no need to apologize for that.

[[action]]

[limitless_land]

[A faint chuckle.] Fair enough I guess, miss...?

[[action]]

[screwperseus]

Doctor Medusa, pleased to meet you... ?

[[action]]

[limitless_land]

It's Ansem.

[[action]]

[screwperseus]

Ansem. [She makes a mental note to check up on her new friend later.] I apologize, but I actually do need to get home, unless there's anything you need.

[[action]]

[limitless_land]

[He makes a mental note to not trust most of the doctors in this city.] Ah. No, I'm fine. Nice meeting you, Doctor.

[And with that he turns north and begins walking away, thanking darkness for his too-keen sense of smell.]

[[action]]

[screwperseus]

You as well. [She watches him walk away for a moment, still suspicious, but continues on her way home anyway.]

[[action]]

[limitless_land]

[He just keeps walking away, but keeps track of the direction that scent is going. Hm... Hopefully using that name wouldn't come back to haunt him.]

[[action]]

[screwperseus]

[That's a pretty thin hope, Riku.]

[[action]]

[limitless_land]

[At least it technically wasn't a lie.
