This hallway...looked very similar to the one she'd been in just a few minutes ago. Greta pursed her lips. That open door couldn't be the same open door as before, right? It just looked like a similar open door. She walked over hesitantly, and instantly recognized the mounted 'Infirmary' sign that she'd supposedly seen in a different hallway. Unless the Victoria II had two separate infirmaries...which she doubted that it did. The little girl let out a puff of air from her mouth, frustrated. How would she ever do her duties as a cabin girl if she couldn't find the Admiral's cabin, much less her own?

Hearing movement from within, she stepped forward a little, hoping to find someone who could redirect her. And if she found the ship's doctor, then maybe she could ask for a check up too. She'd been feeling kind of dizzy for the past few days, but she was pretty sure that was just beginner's airsickness. It never hurt to ask.

"Um, hello?" she called softly.

"Yes?" Miyo called out at the tentative voice. She turned her gaze to the door and tilted her head down, finding the young girl standing there. Oh, another child. How did the Victoria II end up with so many children, she wondered? Ah well, they made for good cabin boys and powder monkeys, which might explain why they ended up in the infirmary so often.

"Can I help you?" she asked, putting on her best smile (which, quite frankly, was still a little bit eerie). The child looked a bit confused. It was a sure sign of "I really don't know what I'm doing here."

Greta smiled a tiny smile back. She wasn't one of those who had bad experiences with doctors, so she wasn't at all afraid of them...but somehow she couldn't help but feel timid. Especially when the doctor's smile was just a little on the scary side.

"I'm trying to find my way back to the deck...do you know where I have to go?"

Ah. So she just wanted directions. That was simple enough.

"Exit this room, take a right, go down the hallway and take another right, then go down that hallway, take a left, and the stairwell should be three doors down on your left," Miyo said, making a few gestures to nail the point home.

Hmmm... perhaps that wasn't so simple.

Take a right, down the hallway,go left... Wait. Not a left, a right...right? Greta giggled a little nervously. She didn't want to ask again, since that would be rude, but she had a feeling that she wasn't going to see the light of day for a while to come.

"Ah, um, okay, thank you!" She clasped her hands behind her back, considering her next request. It wouldn't be too much of a bother, right? This lady was a doctor, after all. Albeit a slightly intimidating one, but a doctor nonetheless.

"Do you think I could get a check up too?" she asked shyly. "I've been feeling a little dizzy lately. I don't know if it's because I'm still getting my airlegs or not, but I thought I'd just check..."

Miyo kept a forced smile on her face as she waited for the girl. Was she going to go or...?

The girl finally spoke again. Ah, so that's all it was? She didn't quite understand the girl's hesitation, but perhaps she was just a bit shy. It made sense. Miyo would have been petrified to be a little girl on a ship like this. ...Well, no, perhaps not. Miyo had been in some worse situations at that age.

She almost frowned at her inward thoughts, but instead managed to keep the smile on her face. Just in case it slipped out, she turned away from the girl while beckoning her further into the room.

"Come sit over here, dear," she said as she motioned the an examination table, pushing a stool over with her foot so the girl would be able to get up without any problems.

She tilted her head curiously at the almost frown that the lady doctor gave her, and for a split second thought that she'd said something wrong. Was she really not a doctor? Had she asked something unreasonable? Her fears were abated when the woman waved her into the office, and Greta nodded, slipping off her shoes before clambering onto the stool to sit on the table.

She was a little awkward being silent. Her family doctor back at home had been with them for years, so she never felt like she had to be quiet during check ups. But it was different now that she was on an airship- a military one at that- so she wasn't sure what she could and couldn't and should and shouldn't do when it came to things like these. "Um, I'm Greta, it's very nice to meet you," she chirped.
