[Frederic finds Giles' room and knocks lightly on the slightly opened door to let his friend know he's there.]

It's me Giles, may I come in?

[consultmybooks]

[Frederic will find Giles sharpening his sword on the floor. He flinches slightly at the sound of Frederic's voice, but for everyone but Buffy that's gotten to be his habitual reaction at being approached by now.]

Frederic, hello. Yes, come in.

[refinedmaestro]

[He can see his friend flinch and frowns a little, but he enters and sits down next to him on the floor.]

Hello to you as well, friend. [He watches Giles for a moment then looks down at the saber he has tied to his belt.] Would you be able to sharpen a sword for me after you're finished? I'm afraid I'm not an expert at them.

[consultmybooks]

[Giles looks up when he hears Frederic sit down, and nods.]

Of course. Pass it over.

[refinedmaestro]

[He pulls the saber from its sheath carefully and hands it to Giles also very carefully.] Thank you Giles, all I ask is that you please be extra careful with this saber. It was...given to me by Feliks and I don't want to see anything happen to it.

[consultmybooks]

[Giles pauses at his friend's words, and then sets his own sword aside and takes the saber very carefully.]

Of course.

[He runs a thumb lightly over the flat of the blade, tests the edge, then brings the whetstone to it.]

Have you seen McCoy yet, then?

[refinedmaestro]

I went by the clinic before we left, but Doctor Faye-Ling was there instead of Doctor McCoy. She...knows about my medical troubles and even helped me with the diet I've been on, so I trusted her to give me a checkup.

[consultmybooks]

Probably better than McCoy, then. Now isn't the time to be trying anything new.

[refinedmaestro]

That's true, although I did not see Doctor Faye-Ling's name on the list and...I'm a little worried about if something happens to me.

[consultmybooks]

She isn't on the list, no.

Did you take the vaccinations they were passing out in the plaza, then?

[refinedmaestro]

No, I did not. Perhaps I could stop by the medical camp when we arrive there to get one or see Doctor McCoy personally.

[consultmybooks]

[Giles stops, sharpening stone hovering over the saber.]

Why don't you try requesting some now?

[refinedmaestro]

[Frederic looks a little surprised.]

I can ask for the vaccination medicine from the plaza?

[consultmybooks]

I meant from the rooms, actually - given the items they've already proven able to supply, it isn't a stretch.

But Raine Sage is passing out first aid kits - she might have some to spare.

[refinedmaestro]

Professor Sage is passing out first aid kits? I may have to go see her then about that and get one, even if I did bring some water myself and food. I may have to ask for a little bit more since I don't know how long it will sustain me.

[consultmybooks]

We'll be traveling a bit heavy, yes. Once we got out, we aren't coming back until the Malnosso decide to allow us.

[Mollified, Giles goes back to sharpening the saber.]
