sorry for late, was off skiing and doing social things! scaredbrilliant February 26 2010, 23:16:26 UTC

Justin was another one of the people with histories they would rather not have broadcast, but drawing attention to the fact would hardly help. And he didn't think the doctor would ask questions on that level of detail. Physically, he was fine.

Which, of course, didn't mean he didn't need a medical evaluation and a full set of records, although he'd managed to forget about that necessity until the new doctor's reminder. He knocked on the open infirmary door, and waited for a reaction before entering. Late as it was, he wouldn't blame Dr. Hojo if he wanted him to just come back tomorrow.

He'd been planning on getting his exam done before lunch, but then he thought it would be useful to go through the ship's old records for anything medically relevant. The task had taken most of the day, and the results nearly filled the notebook he was carrying. (He needed to ask someone to buy more of those.)

Dr. Hojo's voice, a nearly nasal tone, was heard through the wood just after he knocked. Unless it was somebody he knew he objected to the presence of, he didn't consider it very professional to keep people waiting for too long. After Justin entered, he looked at him, peering over his glasses at him with the mean, I've-been-doing-this-job-too-long-and-I-think-you're-an-idiot-by-default look on his face not concealed in the slightest.

"Yes? What do you want?" He asked, well -- very nearly demanded, of his visitor.

He hadn't seen him before, but that was probably because he'd had no reason to go to the Records Room. If he needed anything, he considered himself important enough to send other people on the errand and the medical records of the crew were kept in a filing cabinet in the infirmary for easy access anyway. Well, he assumed they were all there.

If not, he was going to have to throttle the cretin responsible for separating them.

So that was the new doctor. He seemed like he knew what he was doing, was Justin's first impression. He also seemed like he considered the rest of the world incompetent idiots until proven otherwise, but that, to a someone who grew up in Reseune's academic circles, was hardly surprising. Justin didn't quite look comfortable - he wasn't, and while he could probably feign it, he didn't think it would be a good choice - but he didn't look particularly uneasy with the doctor, either. He was used to people like this, and being neither a troublemaker nor incompetent, he didn't expect problems ( ... )

Hojo pushed his glasses up from the middle and looked at the boy, not quite resisting the urge to passive-aggressively glance at the clock. He didn't outright tell him he was late and that the infirmary had been open all day, but the very pointed look at the timepiece on the wall made it very clear that he would have preferred him to arrive slightly earlier for a check up ( ... )
