-5th Dream- [Action]

[demonicbookworm]

[If anyone will come to the clinic today, they would see Ruca reading some book. And there wouldn’t be anything unusual about it, if not the fact that he doesn’t seem to actually “read” it. He only looks idly at the pages, from time to time looking away from it, only to return his gaze to the book again, after a longer moment. A sigh sometimes

[ Welp, Anise works at the clinic (sometimes - when she's needed, mostly), and she just so happens to come in now and see Ruca reading his book!

But he doesn't seem okay - she can tell and it kind of worries her. They had a talk before about Spada disappearing - could he still be upset about that?

So she decides to go over and talk to him, maybe cheer him up! ]

What's that you're reading?

Oh, hello Anise.

[he blinks few times at her question. What is he reading? Um, what indeed...

He looks at the cover of the book. Yes, he wasn't reading it at all actually.]

... It's just a medical book.

[He looks embarrassed. How could he not know what kind of book he's, well, trying to read.]

[action] oh god i am so slow right now and i am so sorry

[ She blinks at that, and then leans in to look closely at it before looking back at him. ]

A medical book, huh? Do you like that kind of stuff? [ She's curious but she also wants to cheer him up by talking about things he likes! ]

[action] no problem at all!

Well, I want to become a doctor in the future-- [Then suddenly!] But I'm too afraid to tell my father about this.

[...

Well... this wasn't much of a secret, but still, he didn't want to say it!]
