Derek did look a little drained, dwelling on one single thing. The name of this place, it felt strange every time he heard it. Phew, well, he couldn't let this get in the way of his patients. He did his rounds regardless, and continued addressing people in the way he normally did, uppity despite the weird droning in the back of his skull.
Next up, a simple follow-up with the male who recently had a new eye placed in. On the way into the examination room he grabbed the other's charts, and didn't hesitate to walk right in.
The smell of disinfectant lingered around him like a cloud, covering up other scents quite effectively. A strange kind of cologne, yes?
The male's voice piped up once he entered ,"Nataku! How's the eye doing?" The young man leaned forward, firstly asking a few questions.
"I do not know. I do not speak to objects in my head." He tilted his head once more, regarding his doctor. "Do you?"
"One moment." Nataku searched the area next to him to pull out a small rectangular Tupperware. He held it out to his doctor -- Derek Stiles, if he remembered. It was a moment of irrationality but he brought food to this person. A sandwich, because he was uncertain if he would like sushi, one of the other meals that he made for those in the household. The reason that he had brought it was because he did not want to feel like he owed the individual anything. Was it for the sake of manners?
"This is for you. You may eat and I will eat until you are finished." To take blame off the man in case that he wished to eat now. A kindness? Perhaps. "Furthermore, it seems as though you are tired."
Derek's expression turned blank for a second, but then a grin spread across his features. He was joking, no? Well, he couldn't exactly tell ,"I was talking to it's owner, actually. Is it working fine? Any problems?"
Just then..food was offered? Woah, that never happened before. The man's look was one of confusion. He then gingerly took the container from the other and set it to the side ,"Thank you, but I'm not hungry right now."
He was asking about him, too? The surgeon's head tilted to the side ,"Huh..? Oh, I'm fine."
This was pretty weird for him, though he loved to bullshit with patients.
"I see. You should have said that in the beginning, then." Nataku did not sound as though he was annoyed or chastising the other. At least, he did not think so. He was merely telling him this for the next time that he should ask such a question -- at least to him. "I am fine. There seem to be no issues
