from the foyer.
he hums in agreement. “indeed they are quite chaffed, but thats alright.” bringing his wrists up to rub away the discomfort, “im used to it for the most part.” he says nonchalantly, and walks forward to explore the small room, listening to her describe her haircare products.
the room is very disapointing. he had expected atleast a wardrobe or a poster on the wall; too prison like for his taste. perhaps he could make a request for more than just shampoo and conditioner.
“hm.. how about eucalyptus? specifically head and shoulders?” he asks, laying on the charm and turning to face her as she closes the door. many more questions ran through his head, but they could wait.

She writes down his request on her clipboard. "I will send out the request for you. Now, Ko." She then sits and crosses her legs. "Are you in any pain?" She asks as she looks up at him with warm eyes.
As a doctor, she had a list of questions to ask but she puts her clipboard away. "If you are, would you like me to look at them and treat them if I can?" She says as she tilts her head slightly.

a distant look sets in his eyes for a second while he thinks. was he in pain? ko looks down at his arms, and tugs up a leather sleeve. he wasnt sure. his wrists were red, yes, but they werent in pain or anything. maybe he just had a high pain tollerance, because he looks at her and shakes his head. "no, not that i know of." he states plainly, staring down at her eyes. he had not sat down yet.
"when can i go and explore?" he asks, expression unchanging. it was a sudden change pf behavior, unlike the previous charm and charisma.

"Soon. I first have to check and make sure everything is on the up and up." She says softly as she looks back at him with her serious blue eyes. "I cant have you randomly falling over you know?" She says as she stands back up. "Let me ask you a few questions then we can explore together until I feel you can go around without getting too lost." She says with a warm smile.
She notices his change in personality. "How do you feel emotionally right now would you say?" She asks softly.

his eyes dart to the wall before he takes a step back and flops down on the bed, and stares at the ceiling. "what i this, a therapy session?" he asks, a hint of irritation behind his voice, and before she can comment, he answers, "occasionally, mostly at night." usually he'd be too tired to think, and he'd just zone out. about once every month, he would get a good nights rest, and most other nights he would grab a few hours through out the day. previously he had been diagnosed with insomnia.
he wonders how his uncle is doing, and if he is passed out on the the sofa or actually doing business. it make his skin itch to not be doing anything productive. he wants to be working, doing his job, getting the information that makes him valuable.

"Dont worry, I will make this quick. And what happens mostly at night?" She asks as she shakes off the comment. "I am here to make sure you feel better but first I need to understand what's wrong. So I may have to ask about things you dont want to. I will not force you to talk about them of course, but it will be beneficial if you tell me what you can. Does this make sense?" She asks as she sits up straight.
ko turns his head to look at her, searching her face for genuine sincerity. after a moment, he decides to cooperate, the decision evident on his face. "alright, what do you want to know?" he says, a hint of disdain behind it, even though he had agreed to the questions.
he turns his head back to look at the ceiling, putting an arm over his burning eyes; his tear ducts needed rest, as they did not get nearly enough, but it was not evident that he was in pain, it just looked as though he was tired.

She smiles softly. "Well, maybe start with how you got here? Or what life for you is like or was like outside these walls. As crazy as I may sound, I do want to make this place as comfortable as I can." She says with a determined tone. She had a scenere look on her face as well.
"If you are tired, we can always discuss later. The red button beside you sends an alert to me so I can rush over when you desire to speak with me or need help." She says warmly as she tucks some bangs behind her ear delicately.

"even if i was, i would be unable to sleep." he grunts. "my stupid uncle put me in here, thats how. and as for what it was like out side of here?" he gestures to the walls, "i'm sworn to confidenciality." huffing, he crosses his arms.
stubbornly, he runs his fingers through his soft, fluffy hair, a bit on the greasy side, but still soft. the action makes it stand up wildly until he sweeps it out of his eyes.

She tilts her head."is everything alright?" She asks as she remains calm. "Its okay, you dont have to share what you dont want to or cant. Everything you tell me will stay between you and I anyway." She says as she rests a hand over her heart. She takes a deep breath before removing but the pain in her chest still lingered.
"Well, you said you wanted to go out there? Are you hungry? We can get something to eat before we explore." She says trying to change subjects to a less touchy one.

ko sits up abruptly, looking at the floor. "id like... a shower. if thats alright..." he mumbles, his gaze occasionally flicking up at Alyson.
her display of discomfort completely passes over ko's head. or rather, he ignores it in favor of his own needs.
if she agrees, he stands, the previous glint in his eyes returning. "then lets go," he'd say.
if she says no, he thinks about throwing a fit, the emotion clear on his face. it was evident that he almost always got his way.

She nods softly. "Of course that's alright. You just wont have your eucalyptus shampoo and conditioner this time around. I hope that's alright." She says as she stands up and dusts off her pencil skirt.
"If you would follow me please. Oh! Do you have a certain style of clothing that you might like? Or coloring? I may not be able to get you the exact stuff but at least you'd be more comfortable." She says as she begins walking to the shower rooms.

"that's perfectly fine, miss." he says with a slight tip of his head, hence proceeding to listen to her next words.
he follows, then halts to a stop when she turns on her heel. "um.." he looks down at his clothing. ripped black jeans, a gray-blue tee, and his signature leather jacket over top. "i can just reuse what ive got here..." he says, mildly uncomfortable as he gestures toward his body.
yes, this jacket had caught his eye when he had bought it, but he never really took an interest in fashion.

She smiles. "Of course! I could clean them even if you would like. But I wont if you do not wish me to." She says as she reaches the shower room.
"Now, the towels are in there to your right and you can pick which shower to use. I'll be out here but if you need help or anything just holler. And by helping mean if you fall or dont feel well. You know, something more of that nature." She says as she takes a deep breath trying to push aside the discomfort in her chest.

he nods, and begins making a shooing gesture when she stands there a bit too long for his comfort. "hey, o know im gorgeous, but id appreceate it if you went." hd nods again. "yea, yea, ill call if i need something."
after she leaves, he turns to face the showers. there looked to be a big one, and a couple small ones. looking inside each one, he picks the cleanest one --the one after the big one-- and starts stripping. debating on where to put his clothes, he decides to place them on the bench directly infront of the shower's cubicle.
the water is cold for a solid 13 seconds before it warms up. of which he turns up as hot as it can go, so that when he steps out, his skin is as flushed as a 1st degree burn. it goes away quickly though, as he starts to dry off and dress his naked body.
throughout the short shower, he had very few thoughts, mostly how to work the shampoo and conditioner bottles, until realizig they were an odd pump of some kind. any other thoughts he might've had, he shoves away, they were't very useful, so why keep them?
once finished, he folds his used towel neatly and hangs it over his arm, and walks out of the showers, looking to see where Miss Alyson was.

While he was in there She pulled out a syringe and stuck it in her leg. The liquid slowly drained into her muscle before she sighed in relief. Her heart was feeling better.
She is sitting in a chair across the hall, reading a book. Her smooth, shiney legs are crossed as a pair of black glasses sit upon her face. She is tapping her foot while rolling her ankle to stretch it.
She looks up. "Did you have a nice shower?" She asks softly as she places a bookmark on the page she was on. She appeared to be reading a paperback book that looked pretty old.

having been greeted with an admirable sight of Miss Alyson's legs, ko is triggered with a spur of the moment pick up line, pulling a playful smirk. "not as enjoyable without you, but it was tolerable." he says, the possibility of him noticing somekind of a dark spot on her thigh somewhat high; though he puts it off as a bruise, nevertheless walking up to her as he neatly rolls up his towel in his hands.
he attempts to make eye contact as she places her bookmark, but te attempt is short lived, as he looks for a place to put his towel down. his hair was still dripping, though wild, like he had wrestled with the towel. it was dripping on his leather jacket, probably unhealthy for te material, but Ko did not seem to mind, or rather notice.

She chuckles softly. "It wouldve been too crowded if I was in there silly." She says as she stands up and stretches. She reaches up for the sky as she stretches before placing them back down to her thighs.
When she looks over at him she offers to take the towel. She sees his hair dripping onto his jacket. "You could catch a cold this way Ko. We better be careful!" She says with a hont of worry in her tone as she gently places the towel on his head and begins rubbing his hair with it. "This also wont ruin any clothing either." She smiles softly at him before removing the towel. "There, that's better." She says with a warm grin.

her obliviousness was charming in a way, but the failed attempt still hung on his spirits. in respect, he averts his eye from Miss Alyson's form; then, when she offers to take his towel, he grunts and hands it to her.
Ko makes a noise of protest, but he gives in when he sees that she means no harm. they were the about same height, so he hangs his head so it wont put such strain on her arms, a light pink dusting his cheeks.
after a few moments, he clears his throat. "so, how many patients live here?" he asks in his gravely voice.

She looks at him with her big blue eyes and without any hesitation she says, "there are 24 patients who live here. Each have their reasons of course for being here, though I do want to get to know everyone here better. Though, I would never pressure them to talk." She says as she wipes some water off his jacket.
"There you go! All dry, or mostly anyway." She says as she tosses the towel in a hamper. "Oh, just sp you know, you are free to ask any questions youd like. I know I ask too many I'm sure." She chuckles as she removes her glasses and places them in her lab coat pocket.
