Jade looked up from the paperwork on his desk at the tentative voice. Mildly curious and not about to complain of an excuse to do something, he shrugged on his lab coat and made his way into the main office.

"Good evening," Jade said in his usual neutral polite tones, "How can I help you?"

A clearer smile forming upon her lips, Kallen let herself fully into the room, being careful to close the door as she did. Briefly canting her head as a sign of respect, she hastily let her eyes register the man's appearance - tall stature, long brown hair, blood-red eyes, glasses - before gently clasping her hands together in front of her. People who interlaced their fingers usually indicated someone who was nervous or perhaps even a little reserved. Hopefully, that was the idea he was perceiving of her so far.

"I'm sorry if I'm bothering you, Doctor," she apologized, keeping her voice soft. "My name is Kallen Stadtfeld...I believe you told me that it would be alright if I came to take my physical?" She paused for a few seconds, as if taking a moment to replay her words within her mind.

"Of course, if you're busy, I'll be sure to return at a more convenient time."

Jade maintained his neutral expression to hide a certain amount of curiosity - people as meek as Stadtfeld were not a common sight in the military. There must have been some rather extenuating circumstances.

"It's no problem, Ms. Stadtfeld." Jade gave a small smirk, mostly intended to be welcoming. "If you would sit up on the exam table-" he gestured at the neat metal slab in the center of the room, "-we can begin."

At the sight of a smirk crossing Jade's lips, Kallen allowed her body to relax a little. Although smirks weren't generally considered an expression that diffused all-around warmth, it wasn't a frown at the very least, which was a good sign. Well, she hoped it was a good sign - that was all she could really do when first meeting someone. Simply hope things were going well and just meander along with whichever way the flow circulated.

Unclasping her fingers, she gave a small nod, readily agreeing to his statement. "Yes, Doctor."

Turning, she began to head towards the area he gesticulated. As usual, she kept her stride well-poised, her fluid way of movement coming with ease from years of practice. Upon reaching the indicated table, she swiftly shifted, taking a seat upon it. Placing her hands together upon her lap, she patiently awaited his next response, being careful to keep a mildly pleasant expression upon her countenance.
