The elf's heart skipped a beat when she saw Dr. Gerard come out of a room. Sylvie too, was watching the door like a hawk, so she jumped up when she saw him come out the doors. Their eyes met and the doctor arched an eyebrow, as if he was surprised to see the two of them there. He walked over towards the two of them, a nervous look on his face. "What are you still doing here?" he asked in a hushed whisper. Kerii and Syl looked at each other, and then back to Dr. Gerard. "Waiting, just like you said," she replied in complete innocence, still confused by his question. "I meant to wait outside of the hospital." He heaved a heavy sigh. "Look, these results are taking a while to get back. I think it would be best if you went home. It's uncomfortable waiting in this hospital and I have no idea if or when they'll be conclusive. I'll send for you if I need another sample or if I get the results, okay?" Kerii nodded her head. She understood completely. "Okay, I'll see you then. Come on, Syl." Kerii stood up and Sylvie loosely wrapped her ribbon around Kerii's wrist. Dr. Gerard went away, perhaps to visit another patient or to consult with another doctor. Clearly, if the plague or virus was as bad as Dr. Gerard made it out to be, they had ought to bring in an expert on the subject. A neurologist would be who Kerii would consult with first if she were on this case, but alas, she wasn't. Part of her wanted to ask Dr. Gerard if she could help out in any way while waiting for the results, but the other part of her knew better than to get in the way of a doctor, especially when that doctor seemed to be rather anxious or stressed. If he wanted her help, he would have requested it right then and there. Clearly, he wanted experts in the matter, and Kerii didn't blame him. If she were investigating this, she wouldn't hire any mage off the streets, even if they were part of a light guild.
