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!]

Would you like me to heal those completely??
