[River is just resetting the space at the kitchen where he’ll be doing his checkups for the time being. His heavy footsteps can be heard as he makes his way over to the door and opens up.]
[HOLY SHIT, she’s blue and has horns and a tail and, and and—!!
Sorry, River stops and stares for a few seconds, blinking rapidly. Sure he’s seen other weird hotel guests and employees who are decidedly NOT human. So this shouldn’t be too different so he immediately composes himself, straightens himself out and…!]
I'll take a look then. Take a seat at the kitchen table and we'll get started.
[As River moves about to grab his tools and equipment from his other room, there's a chance to take a look at his room. It's sleek and modern perhaps generic to anyone from a similar time and world, but for him, it's pretty fancy.
The doctor takes out a scale for weighing, some measuring tape (they don't have one of the office scales, but he wasn't expecting the hotel to be THAT thorough), and then his bag of more common tools that hangs from his shoulder. He sets it on the table.]
Oh, before we begin, would you like a drink? Like a glass of water or would you prefer that after?
[ little has made her feel more like a fish out of water than this. taking "have a seat at the table" literally—she moves as if to sit on the table, rather than the chair, but something stops her. maybe the fact that the room is so crisp, so clean, so... nice.
luckily, next thing she knows, he's setting things down where she would have sat, and logic finally takes the wheel. of course he meant the chair. yes.
[ the corners of her mouth twitch gently at that "probably". well, how could he know any better? ]
Sprezzatura Morosis Vaux. I am thirty-five, and I am tiefling. Of course, you do not know what tiefling is or means, so I will tell you: it is like human, but far, far back, my bloodline mingles with infernal heritage. That is why I am such things as... blue.
[River scratches down her full name to his best approximation along with the other relative information given.]
Infernal heritage... Guess we can unpack that later. Is it too presumptuous of me to guess that tieflings are genetically varied? Like, blue isn't the only skin pigmentation and I'm willing to bet that horns, eyes, and tails also differ greatly.
Oh, but before that, height and weight? If you don't have that on hand, I got the equipment to measure those.
[He is, if nothing else, acting fairly professional despite his curiosity about Sprezzatura as a whole.]
[ this is better than she can expect of many. so she doesn't bristle at the phrasing of "unpack", and just clicks her tongue. ]
How am I to know my own weight? [ and height? with or without her horns? ] You are correct about everything else. My mother is violet, for example, and terrible woman.
[Be thankful for that latter part, he hasn't remarked, "WHOA, LIKE BARNEY?"]
Hm. I guess units of measurement differs from world to world to, that or the information isn't as common and readily available... Hold on.
[River has measuring tape for height even it won't give him the accuracy he prefers with the usual scales he uses. Speaking of, he moves to the bathroom where he keeps a basic scale for weight. It's a slim glassy rectangle that he sets on the ground and the blinking numbers on it currently reads "000.00"]
Can you step on this? Both feet planted on the rectangle and just stay still until it brings up a number. We'll take the weight of your tail and horns into account too. It's important information for me since weight loss or weight gain is something to take into consideration when it comes to your health condition.
as thorough as he's being, and at her request, no less, there's still this immense skepticism rolling off her; a wariness of everything he says and does. especially when it's a digital scale, which is nothing like anything she's seen. squints down at it, mistrustful and devastatingly curious in equal measure ]
Very well.
[ ONTO THE SCALE SHE GOES. after several moments, she clocks in at about 130 pounds ]
[And he jots 130 lbs. onto Sprezzatura's info sheet that's on it's way to being filled out nicely.]
And adding that this includes horn and tails. No way to measure that accurately, not yet anyway.
[Here comes the measuring tape! Dr. Kwan is planning on doing the actual physical check after the general measurements, but he figures where they're currently at is helping Sprezzatura ease in to the whole process.]
Just stay where you are and I'm gonna measure your height. Might be off, but not by much with the tape.
[The tape is stretched until the end of it stops at the tip of the tiefling's horns.]
Mmmm... 5 feet, 2...? 3...? Nah, I'll put you down for Five feet and two inches.
[Another pause. He looks at her tail. And then back at her.]
... Can I measure that too? [Points with his pen, look he's just!! Trying to make sure!]
[The door opens to reveal one (1) River Kwan! He's a tall fellow who has his hair tied back and wearing some doctor scrubs. He looks and sounds just like he does on the network (minus emojis).]
Hey! Glad you could make it. Nanami, right?
[River's first impression is that Nanami looks fairly healthy or at least just as fit, if not more fit than himself. He steps aside and gestures for him to come inside his room.]
I got all the necessary equipment to do a physical but it doesn't have to take too long.
[ Ohhhh, he's an excitable man. Briefly, Nanami thinks of Yuji and his demeanor when he takes in River's. It's a little nostalgic for him. ]
That's correct, Kwan-sensei.
[ He'll step into the room when given the offer to and looks around in interest. All these rooms seem individualized for the person and this room definitely doesn't look anything like his, so. ]
Good to know. My morning is clear nevertheless. I would just like to be certain that my body is in good health, as I had injuries before arriving to the hotel that were healed upon arrival.
[He coughs and straightens himself out. He's switching to doctor mode now so he'll try to be less informal.]
Take a seat at the kitchen table and I'll be right with ya. Just gonna make sure the tools I have are sterilized and organized. Then I'll conduct the physical and see if there's anything else to do about those previous injuries.
[So as the doctor gets ready, Nanami can just take a glimpse of River's hotel room and it's probably pretty fancy by modern standards. It'll probably change given time, but for now he likes the classy amenities it provides.
His voice calls out from the other room as he rummages through his bag.]
So Nanami! What's your usual gig that gets you injured on the clock?
[ Look!! That's just what you call doctors, okay!! Even if they are, you know, River.
He'll move to the kitchen table as he's asked to, removing his suit jacket as he does and laying it on the back of the chair that he sits in. He's just taking in the room itself, surprised at how ... upscale? it seems compared to what he would guess River's tastes would be.
But then River is calling out his question and Nanami pauses, wondering how to answer. On one hand, he shouldn't tell people he fights curses for a living because that's a secret. On the other, Gojo has already told what seems like half the hotel what they do for a living so really it isn't like it matters anymore... ]
I work for the government. [ . . . ] Fighting monsters.
[River's eyes widen, not out of surprise, but more of recognition, if only tangentially so.]
Oh, is that it? Explains a lot!
[Keeping the supernatural and paranormal at bay is very much within the range of what the Collective does, especially since espers by their very nature fit within those categories.]
Sounds like it's probably a different operation from what I'm familiar with though. All these differences, am I right?
[And he returns from his room with his medical bag and a clipboard.]
First thing's first, I'm gonna need some basic info that I wanna jot down. Are we cool with that?
[ ... Ah. The man is used to a similar thing where he comes from. Nanami doesn't know if he should be surprised anymore by this. It seems like no matter what, the secrecy he holds tight to doesn't do him well here. ]
All these differences indeed.
[ He's curious a little to ask what it's like where River comes from but that isn't the point of being here and so he just stays quiet until River comes back with his medical bag and clipboard. There's a raised eyebrow here at the question before he nods, finding nothing wrong with the ask. ]
