Stay in bed and rest

From Create Your Own Story

You decide to rest a little while longer.

You're just starting to drift off again when you hear a knock at the door. It creaks open, and Igor walks in. "Oh good, Mith Parker, you're awake. The Mathter thaid you should join him for lunch if you're up."

"Okay." You say.

"I'll come back in half an hour. Will that be enough time?"

"Sure" you say. You're still a bit out of sorts. With Igor gone, you change and freshen up. You realize that you haven't eaten anything in a day. Lunch sounds really good about now. Pretty soon there's another knock on the door, and Igor's come to escort you to the dining room.

The room looks like it should be the epitome of grandeur, but in fact it's rather plain. There's a table in the center which doesn't really take up enough space. Seated at one end is Doctor Kreuger. There's another place setting at the other end. Igor pulls the chair out for you.

Doctor Kreuger asks, "Did you sleep well, Miss Parker?"

"Yes, Doctor Kreuger. Very well." He's staring at you again, and you're starting to feel uncomfortable. "Thank you for your hospitality, but after the meal, I should probably be going. I have an appointment to keep in Schlechter Vielfrass."

"Please, call me Nicholae. I did some reading last night. It seems to me you've suffered a concussion, and should be kept under observation for a few more days."

Seems you've suffered a concussion? What kind of doctor is he anyways? "What is your specialty, Nicholae?"

He seems very pleased that you asked. "I'm an experimental surgeon- the best in the world." He goes on at some length about his work understanding the human body, and how no one understands or appreciates what he does. Your eyes glaze over about two sentences in, and you concentrate on finishing your meal. It tastes absolutely great. Finally he asks, "Would you like to see my laboratory?"
