'That's entirely fair." Kalin commented as she followed him.

"I plan on heading back home once I'm done school, too." She then said.

"But I don't know anything more specific than that." She added with a light shrug.

"Why do you want to move, anyway? Any particular reason?"

Rene just sighed.

"Guess I'm just not happy here." he said.

"I mean, I have a good job, good pay and stuff, but... well... I guess I forgot why I moved here in the first place." he continued, lying slightly. He knew why he moved here. However, he'd been wondering if he needed to stop and just... leave it behind.

But he wouldn't tell her.

"If that makes sense." he said further.

"I know that sounds all faux-philosophical and stuff." he added, as the elevator stopped and doors opened.

"People's desires change, almost on the daily." Kalin commented, following him down the hall.

"It's something that one can't deny, no matter how hard some people try." She added.

"So it really doesn't surprise me that you moved here for one reason, then years later, you decide to move."

"Indeed." Rene replied, sighing in relief internally.

They then walked down the hall, stopping at one the doors. He used his key to unlock it, and opened it.

When they stepped inside, Kalin saw it was a very spacious area. Plenty of space, plenty of rooms, and it looked... kind of sparse. It was clear that Rene wasn't one to collect and hoard stuff, but what she saw was very... oceanic and aquatic-themed.

"All right." Rene said.

"I'm going to find that computer." he told her.

"You want something to drink?" he asked.

Kalin looked around, not answering him right quickly. After a few seconds, she did.

"Oh, I'm fine. Thank you." She said. "May I take a seat?" She aske.d When he motioned that she could, she made her way over to one of the table chairs and took a seat, carefully, as he headed off for the laptop.

While he was gone, she looked around, not entirely sure what it was that she was supposed to make of this, but certainly appreciating the fact that she was somewhere that she believed she may posisbly be safe.

At least, she hoped she was.

After about 5 or 6 minutes, and hearing him scuffle and rummage, she heard him call out to her.

"Found it!" he said loudly.

He then emerged into the room, a laptop, cord, wireless mouse, and wireless keyboard in his hands... as well as a couple of wireless USB adaptors.

Kalin also saw that, though the laptop looked to be older than hers, it was a better make and model than the one she had... and would surely suit her needs better than her old one.

"Feel free to boot it up and set up." he told her.

"My WiFi connection is 'DoctorsOrders'. Password is 'FishDish'." he finished, writing them down for her.

Kalin nodded, said her thanks, before plugging and booting up the laptop. She didn't know if it would work for certain, but for some reason she found herself trusting this man.

As she worked to se it up, Rene was able to get a good look at her.

And notice that she was quite pale.

Rene looked at her, and narrowed his eyes for a moment.

"Right." he said.

"It's going to take a while before that thing's ready for you to start working on it and such." he told her.

"Needs to configure itself, update the OS and crap." he went on.

"So, until then, care for that check-up?" he asked.

"See if there's anything that needs tending to?"

Kalin was silent for a moment, did something with the laptop, before getting to her feet. Granted, her movements were a bit slower than one might have expected, but they weren't super slow, thankfully.

"Where?" She asked after a moment or two.

"As in, where would you like to do this?"

"Ahhh... hm." Rene mumbled.

"Oh, in the livingroom's fine." he told her.

"I'm going to get some supplies." he said.

"Basics. If you wouldn't mind, please strip down to whatever you're comfortable with." he continued.

"But at the very least, remove your jacket." he finished, before going to get what he said he would.

Kalin nodded before heading to the room in question. Once there, she sighed lightly before removing her jacket and setting it aside. She then, carefully, removed her top, leaving her in nothing but her sports bra on her top half.

"... ow." she muttered as she set her slightly blood stained top on her jacket. She knew questions would be asked, but she knew that she had to do this. It'd be good for her to have the massive bruise, and cut, on her side looked at.

She didn't sit down though, knowing she was bleeding. She grabbed her shirt and held it to the wound, cursing how it was still bleeding a bit.

Rene came back with his medical kit... and stopped when he saw her.

And sighed.

"I knew I smelled blood." he commented.

"...but that is one massive bruise, and one nasty cut." he then said, approaching her.

"Right, what happened?" he asked.

"I'm sure you can remember how you sustained such an injury?"

". . . That's just it." Kalin commented.

"I... Actually, I don't." She then said after a moment.

"Woke up in a blood soaked bed yesterday." She continued with a sigh.

"Been feeling ... rough, to put it lightly, since." She added.

"I have... no idea what it is that I did though."

Rene pinched the bridge of his nose.

"Ugh." he muttered.

"I see." he replied.

"Well, let's take a look." he told her as he approached.

'I've seen all kinds of injuries in my lifetime... for one reason or another.' he thought. 'I should be able to identify this.' he told himself, before getting closer and looking her over.

"You are very pale and skinny." he commented.

"Not healthy." he said.

He then gently removed her hand and shirt from the wound to examine it more closely, ready to stem excessive blood flow if need be.

The wound really wasn't bleeding much at all. It had been at one point, but now it was still bleeding, but not much. Not even as much as a paper cut.

She winced as he lightly rouched it, curious about how tender it was.

"Sadly, I don't have any iea how or even when I got this." She told him honestly.

"Not fun, but I do appreciate getting it looked at. Thank you."

"Mmhmm." Rene muttered.

"Gonna need stitches." he told her.

"Not many, but some." he said.

"I can administer a small low-grade local, and do it here." he went on.

"I'll first need to clean it, though." he continued.

"And you really have no idea how this happened?" he asked.

"See, that alone is alarming. The fact that you put yourself in such a state of exhaustion and delirium, that you don't even remember grievous injuries." he continued.

"I know post-secondary can be hectic, but that's a bit much."

Kalin just sighed.

"I know." She said.

"But I honestly have no idea what it is that happened, and what it is that causes me to be so... disconnected, I suppose?" She asked, not sure as to what the right term to use would be.

"You're probably right though, I'm likely overworking myself." She conceeded before shruging slightly.

"Worth it to remain at the top of my year, though."

"Again, you amaze me." Rene responded.

"The top of your year. That is impressive, to say the very least." he told her.

"Now, this is going to sting, and I'm understating that." he warned her.

"Just bear it, this wound needs to be cleaned." he said.

He then grabbed a bottle of a solution, and shook it up slightly.

"After this, I'll dress the wound and we'll concern ourselves with any other injuries you may have."

Kalin didn't say anything, just nodded. As Rene asked if she wanted to sit down, she shook her head and continued standing... managing to maintain her posture and the like through him cleaning, and using a few stitches to hold it all together to heal properly. After he'd finished, he noticed that she had her eyes closed and was just doing what she could to steady her breathing. Apparently she knew how to handle pain. When he got her attention, she looked over to him before nodding.

"Than you." She said with a soft smile.

"Already that feels better." She said. "There's a tightness from the stitches that ... I guess feels 'right'."

"Means they're working." Rene replied.

"I'll put some medical bandaging over them." he told her.

"Now, there's not much I can do for the bruising, but I CAN check for further injuries." he went on.

"All right, be honest." he then said.

"Do you have any pain, anyway? Your foot, your ankle, leg, wrist, chest, anything." he continued.

"Those could be a broken bone or a fractured bone, or something along those lines." he warned.
