[Filtered to Ivan Vorpatril, 65% unhackable because it's early and he's sick.]
Ivan,
Would you please look in on the horse for me? The Imperial Ass seems to be having trouble getting out of bed today, as the Imperial Sniffles have turned into the Imperial Plague. We apologize for Our impending death and your impending resulting frustrations.
Regretfully,
Gregor
P.S. If this letter caused you alarm, please give yourself a refresher course in detecting the Imperial Sarcasm.

[Gregor is sick as a dog. Apartments adjacent to his have probably heard violent, deep, chesty coughing for about two weeks now. Ordinarily, he'd have on-site approved physicians checking him out and prescribing whatever antibiotic was necessary, but here, he has to actually go seek out help. So. To the Battle Dome clinic he goes, looking specifically to see Adele LeBlanc when she's in. He will wait for her, if necessary.
Afterwards, he's going to the library, then the bakery for coffee and something sweet. Anyone stopping in can see him sitting inside, devouring a psychology textbook and sipping coffee, the cream cakes reduced to crumbs. They are the only thing he has eaten all day. He is not looking great, occasionally falling into bad coughing fits, for which he ducks outside, but recovering fairly quickly. When he heads home, he goes straight to bed despite his plans to work out. And the fact that it's the middle of the day.]

I suppose we're supposed to be pen pals, whatever that entails. I hope you're adjusting to the village well.

Date: 2012-08-17 01:41 am (UTC)From:"I need you to cough, Greg."
[Action, Clinic]
Date: 2012-08-17 02:36 am (UTC)From:[Action, Clinic] time for handwavium. Threading the entirety of the diagnosis will be tedious.
Date: 2012-08-17 03:54 am (UTC)From:"Bedrest, fluids, the syrup to ease the coughing and the inhaler when it becomes most difficult for you to breathe."
[Action, Clinic]
Date: 2012-08-17 04:00 am (UTC)From:"How do I use the inhaler?"
[Action, Clinic]
Date: 2012-08-20 02:53 am (UTC)From:The inhaler ought to last as long as the remainder of his illness runs, Adele doesn't think it's quite so bad that he'll need a refill.
[Action, Clinic]
Date: 2012-08-20 02:58 am (UTC)From:"There was something else I wanted to talk to you about."
[Action, Clinic]
Date: 2012-08-20 05:30 am (UTC)From:At this she sets the clipboard aside, watches his face. His hands. Hopes it's something she can actually assist with since she's had such a lovely run of helplessness regarding those close to her as of late.

Date: 2012-08-20 12:42 pm (UTC)From:"I'd...like to talk to you about anti-depressants."
[Action, Clinic]
Date: 2012-08-20 10:46 pm (UTC)From:That wasn't something she's qualified to discuss. At all. She doesn't even know what sort of medication they have in the clinic that would suit Gregor- anti-depressants were variable and finicky enough when one knew all the important factors.
"I'm not...this isn't my area Greg."

Date: 2012-08-21 01:50 am (UTC)From:Hazel eyes look straight at Adele, solemn, but gleaming with a tense vulnerability. "I have a duty to someone here. A very real, very legal duty. If he needs to be protected, he has the right to come to me for help. And I have to give it to him. I'm as sworn to him as he is to me, and I have to be alive for that. Mentally alive."
[Action, Clinic]
Date: 2012-08-22 01:30 am (UTC)From:Her voice is soft, but sincere. "...I will find something for you. It'll take time, but I will find something with which to start. They've always been hit or miss and the first one you try may not work well, or at all, or the side effects may not be worth what peace they bring you."

Date: 2012-08-23 04:44 am (UTC)From:She would know, really. He wouldn't have asked if he didn't want to have at least a glass of wine, and he has shown an appreciation for them in the past.
"Unless you've anything else you wish to discuss. General health, odd itching, your sex life, etc."
