Infirmary Thread for Auxin

[merryeccentricities]

Joly is immersed in a repair manual for one of the infirmary's cellular scanners, marveling at the practical application of the abstract concepts it relies on-- and otherwise totally unoccupied. The Infirmary isn't always the busiest place.

So it's good to see a visitor! Especially one moving under his own power. Joly smiles and moves towards the doorway.

"Thanks, that's kind of you. How much would it cost?" Auxin asks anxiously. "For room and board I mean?"

He's not entirely sure how long he'll be in jail...

...Joly could kick himself for forgetting. Of course people will worry about that. "As far as I know, treatment here costs nothing, including if you stay overnight; no one has ever mentioned a bill to me." He certainly hopes they would. Hmm. He'll need to see about that. "As for room and board, I know people carry tabs here for quite a while, sometimes. And Bar will usually let you work it off tending Happy Hour or such over time, if she calls it in." He makes a rueful face. "I'm afraid I don't really know what it's like for patrons who come and go, you see. I'm here permanently. I do work here as a way to balance my own accounts; some of my friends find jobs, too. But truly, I think Madame Bar won't ask you for anything you can't well give."

Auxin nods.

"Thanks. I'll rest here a bit and pay her back." he says. "Somehow. Thanks so much for your help Joly."

Joly smiles. "Thank you for letting me do my job!" --Serioulsy, Auxin, thanks for being a good patient. Let me just get you a few painkillers, and I think you'll be set for now. But let me know if you need anything else while you're here."

Auxin smiles back. Joly is so kind, he'll have to seek him out when he's feeling better and thank him properly.

"I will, cheers Joly."

This bed is amazingly soft and squishy, and not full of straw.
